India stayed in contention for a Women’s T20 World Cup semi-final berth with a crucial five-wicket victory over Bangladesh at Old Trafford. Despite a poor fielding display that saw multiple dropped catches, India restricted Bangladesh to 136/8 before chasing down the target in 16.5 overs. Shafali Verma starred with an aggressive half-century, while India’s bowlers, led by Shree Charani and Radha Yadav, played key roles in containing Bangladesh. The win keeps India’s knockout hopes alive after their earlier defeat to South Africa. However, Harmanpreet Kaur’s side now faces a must-win clash against Australia to strengthen their chances of reaching the semi-finals. (PC: AFP)
