INDW vs BANW 1st ODI, Highlights: India’s batting implodes as Bangladesh registers 40-run win; leads series 1-0

A poor display from the batting unit led India to its first loss against Bangladesh in ODIs. Bangladesh players played their hearts out to lead their team to a famous 40-run to lead the three-match series 1-0!

Rabeya to Vaidya , FOUR! Nicely played. Uses the line of the ball which was down leg to sweep it fine for a boundary to start the over. Too late, too little now. Vaidya sweeps again to take a risky single and a direct hit would have ended the game for India. A wide to follow. RUN OUT! Another attempt to steal a single and this time it looks like it is done for India. Bangladesh already celebrating as they feel it’s out. The replay showed Anusha was short on ground and with this Bangladesh registered a historic win against India - the first one against India in ODIs.

Sultana Khatun continues. Khatun to Vastrakar, OUT! Nine down and it is just a matter of time for Bangladesh to create history. Vastrakar opens the face of the bat only to give her catch via edge to keeper Nigar. Debutant Anush Bareddy comes in as the last batter.

Five runs from this over. India needs 48 from 54 balls with one wicket in hand.

Fahima Khatun builds pressure to give a single in her over.

A maiden over from Sultana Khatun.

Pooja Vastrakar cuts the outside off ball which races away at the deep backward point but full commitment showed by the fielder to save one run. This means India brings up the 100-run mark but is way behind the target with just two wickets in hand. Four runs from the over.

Marufa continues, on a hat trick. Vastrakar punches down the inswinger ball to covers to deny Marufa a hat trick. Five from the over.

Rabeya Khan comes back into the attack. Rabeya to Sharma, OUT! What is going on here? Three balls three wickets and India’s hopes are most likely done and dusted here. Deepti swings it hard against the short ball and a lovely catch by an outstanding effort from Ritu Moni at mid-wicket completes the wicket. Pooja Vastrakar and Devika Vaidya are two batters in. Just a single and a wicket in this over.

Marufa to Amanjot, FOUR! Finally a boundary after so long. Amanjot leans forward to get to the reach of the ball and swings it hard to get an outside edge to third man. Marufa to Amanjot, OUT! Oh no, what have you done Amanjo? It seemed like Amanjot could do nothing wrong on her debut but a lapse in concentration as she edged the ball to the keeper and India is six down now. Sneh Rana comes in at number eight. Marufa to Rana, OUT! Bowled! What a delivery. Rana was lazy in offering a shot and the inswinging yorker castled her to give Bangladesh two wickets in two balls!

Amanjot Kaur c †Nigar Sultana b Marufa Akter 15 (40b 1x4 0x6); Sneh Rana b Marufa Akter 0 (1b 0x4 0x6)

The required rate is piling up. Another over with just two runs from it.

The tough phase continues. India could only manage three runs from the next two overs.

India has its all hopes on this pair. Deepti and Amanjot have played enough ball and soaked pressure to keep India in game.

Sultana almost took Deepti’s wicket. She gets an inside edge which goes very near to the stumps which could have ended India’s hopes but not for now. Riding on luck, Deepti faces another ball. Two runs from the over.

Five singles and a dot off Fatima’s Khatun’s over.

India is playing the waiting game here, not risking any wickets. Takes two from the over.

Fatima Khatun conintues. Khatun to Sharma, three runs, excellent stop by the fielder at the boundary rope to save one run. Five runs from the over.

Bangladesh continues to tighten its grip over India with some tight bowling. Rabeya Khan gives only two runs from this over as the required run rate is mounting after each dot ball.

A maiden from Fatima Khatun.

Rabeya Khan continues from her end. Deepti looks in some pain as the physio runs out to attend to her. Amanjot gets off the mark with a single.

Fatima Khatum has been brought into the attack. She gives three runs from her first over as India is crawling at the moment with Deepi being the only recognised batter.

Rabeya Khan continues. Khan to Rodrigues, OUT! Soft dismissal as Rodrigues tried to pull over mid-on but instead gave an easy catch via leading edge to Khatun. India is falling like a pack of cards here. Amanjot Kaur joins Deepti Sharma.

Jemimah Rodrigues c Murshida Khatun b Rabeya Khan 10 (26b 0x4 0x6)

Three singles from Nahida’s over.

Rabeya Khan continues. India touches the 50-run mark as eight runs come from the over.

Deepti gets off the mark with a single. Two runs from Nahida’s over.

Rabeya Khan comes in the attack for Ritu Moni. Rabeya to Bhatia, OUT! The keeper-batter has been bowled as India looks in deep trouble. Bangladesh is at the top with their brilliant bowling. New batter Deepti Sharma in at number six.

Yastika Bhatia b Rabeya Khan 15 (24b 1x4 0x6)

Nahida Akhtar continues. A tight over from the left-arm spinner to give one single.

New bowler, Ritu Moni in the attack. Gives three singles and a wide from her over.

Nahida Akter is back in the attack. Akter to Kaur, FOUR! Goes way too deep and uses the crease to open the face of the bat and cuts it at the backward point. Akter to Kaur, OUT! Akter gets the biggest fish of them all and traps Kaur in front of wickets for LBW. A slider which went straight to the pads. Harman looks unhappy as she feels the ball touched the bat but since no reviews are available in the series, she has to go. Jemimah Rodrigues is at number five.

Marufa to bowl her fifth. Marufa to Priya, OUT! Gone as Punia flicks the fuller ball right at the hands of Murshida Khatun, who made a brilliant drive forward to complete the catch. Captain Harmanpreet Kaur comes in at number four. She gets off the mark with an outside edge to third man.

Priya Punia c Murshida Khatun b Marufa Akter 10 (27b 1x4 0x6)

Just a single from Khatun’s over, Bangladesh has managed to put a stop to the flow of runs, will be interesting to see how India plays from here on.

Marufa bowls her fourth in succession. Bhatia and Priya managed a single each in the over.

Three singles were taken from Sultana Khatun’s over. Six overs gone, India 27 for one.

Marufa Akter continues from one end. Akter to Bhatia, FOUR! Uses the pace to show the full face of the bat and directed it towards extra cover for a boundary. She keeps the strike with a single.

A first change in the attack, Sultana Khatun is in the attack for Nahida Akter. Punia, followed by Bhatika takes a single each, as the latter gets off the mark. Khatun to Punia, FOUR! Gets the better of the bowler as she pushed the good-length wide of off-stump delivery between the cover region. Six runs from the over.

Marufa Akter continies. FOUR! Pitched up on good length, a classic Smirit Mandhana backfoot pull to clear the deep mid-wicket region for a boundary to start the over. Marufa to Mandhana, OUT! What a delivery from Marufa. A gentle outswinger on offer and Mandhan could not hold her and nicked to the keeper Nigar Sultana! A wicket and four runs from the over as the star opener goes back with yet another failure. Yastika Bhatia comes in at number three.

Smriti Mandhana c Nigar Sultana b Marufa Akter 11 (12b 2x4 0x6)

Spinner, Nahida Akter, from the other end. She starts with a full toss against Priya and she guides it on deep mid-wicket for a single. Mandhana plays a straight drive past Nahida to return to the non-striker’s end with a single. Nahinda bowls two better balls, first to get an inside edge to pads and then a slider which came in sharply for the batter. Two from the over.

Punia gets off the mark with a single off the very first ball of the innings. Akter to Mandhana, FOUR! What a way to get her to the first runs. Tab bit short from Akter, Mandhana pulls it from outside to mid-on for a boundary to start. Akter beats Mandhan twice in the next three balls before Mandhana drives the full-length ball over covers for a double. Seven from the first over.

Openers Smriti Mandhana and Priya Punia are out there in the middle. Marufa Akter has the new ball for Bangladesh. India has a target of 154 runs (DLS) on its sight.

Sneh Rana bowls her eight in the penultimate over of the innings. A double followed by a single from Akter gave the strike back to Khatun. RUN OUT! Khatun cuts it to the backward point where Devika Vaidya gets a direct hit to remove Akter! With this, the Bangladesh innings come to an end as the commentators confirm the unavailability of debutant Shorn Akter as she is retired out.

Deepti Sharma controls the flow of runs with four dot deliveries, Deepti to Marufa Ahter, FOUR! Wonderful shot, a cover drive off the back foot. Six runs from this over.

Aggressive field set by captain Harmanpreet Karu to have two fielders on the leg side inside the circle for the batter. Fahima Khatun pushes at the ball at covers to take a quick single to get off the mark. Rana ends with one run over, and gives only eight runs in her seven overs.

Devika Vaidya to bowl her seventh. Vaiya to Sultana Khatun, OUT! Bowled! Vaidya fired on straight and castled Khatun, who tried to slog sweep the ball away. India gets the eighth wicket. Five and a wicket from the 40th over. Marufa Akhter in at number 10.

Sultana Khatun b Vaidya 16 (20b 2x4 0x6)

Pooja Vastrakar conintues. Vastrakar to Khatun, FOUR! Short on off-stump, Sultana gets enough room to open her hands and she uses the shoulders to slice the ball at backward point. Four runs from the over.

Two singles from Rana’s sixth over.

Pooja Vastrakar comes back into the attack. Vastrakar to Khatun, FOUR! A short ball bouncer attempt from the bowler but it did get the bouncer that Vastrakar would have anticipated, Sultana pulls it nicely to get a boundary. Six runs from the 37th over.

Devika Vaidya to Khatun, FIVE WIDES! Another poor collection by Yastika behind the wickets. Vaidya fired one quicker down the leg and it went after hitting Bhatia’s gloves for a boundary. Eight runs from the over.

Amanjot continues. FIVE WIDES! Amanjot bowls way outside off, and poor collection by Bhatia behind the wicket as the ball runs past her for a boundary. WICKET! Amanjot gets her fourth! A failed attempt by Khan to beat the cover fielder by Mandhana won’t do anything wrong today. Bangladesh seven down!

Rabeya Khan c Mandhana b AB Kaur 10 (11b 1x4 0x6)

Deepti to bowl her eighth of the innings. Deepti to Nahida, OUT! Akhter slog sweeps at but a brilliant catch by Smriti Mandhana at deep extra cover will make sure to help India get a sixth breakthrough. Fahima Khatun comes in at number eight.

Nahida Akter c Mandhana b Sharma 2 (15b 0x4 0x6)

Amanjot Kaur continues. Another cheap over with just two coming off it.

A maiden from Deepti.

Nigar Sultana lbw b AB Kaur 39 (64b 3x4 0x6)

Amanjot starts with a down-the-leg wide. She quickly changed her line to target the middle stump. A poor delivery by Amanjot as she bowls a full-toss angling down the leg and Sultana swivels to play it fine but brilliant from Deepti at fine leg to save three runs. Amanjot to Rabeya, FOUR! Good cover drive from Khan to pierce the field at extra covers. Eight off the over.

Vaidya once again stars with a wide. Vaidya to Sultana, FOUR! Short, outside off-stump and Sultana was ready for it and cut away at sweeper cover for a boundary. She keeps the strike with a single.

Amanjot continues. Kaur to Khatun, OUT! A tempting ball from Amanjot lures Khatun to play the drive and give an easy catch to captain Harmanpreet Kaur at mid-off. The pressure of dot balls took the better of Khatun who looked good till now. Bangladesh is off to a horrible start with the run rate hanging around 1.50. Captain Nigar Sultana comes in at number four. Second maiden over for Amanjot with a wicket in this one. The fourth maiden on the trot for India.

She pitched a full-length ball, shaping away for the batter and almost got an outside edge. Kaur starts with a maiden as Akhter has played 18 balls without opening her account in this match.

Vastrakar continues. Vastrakar beats Khatun with a peach of a delivery, pitched at good length and swings away as she misses after committing to the shot. FOUR!

India captain Harmanpreet Kaur is hoping that they will get better pitches to bat on in the three-match ODI series against Bangladesh beginning here on Sunday.

India managed to win the T20 series 2-1, but its batters had a tough time on the slow surface at the Shere Bangla National Stadium. The visitors struggled to 95 and 102 in the second and third games, while Bangladesh had posted 114 in the series opener.

Harmanpreet said ODIs are a different ball game to T20s, and her batters would need to show patience to put up competitive totals in challenging conditions. “Wherever we go we want to play on good tracks, fair tracks but how much I know we will play on the same way tomorrow. Hopefully, we will get a better wicket for the last two games.

“In Asian conditions, tracks can be slow. As a batting unit we have to work hard for the runs and we are ready for that,” said Harmanpreet on the eve of the first ODI.

Bangladesh could have won the series had they not self-destructed in their chase of 95 in the second T20. They will be in good spirits after the win on Thursday and the India skipper is expecting a tough fight from the home team.

Barring Harmanpreet, India does not have any six-hitter in the squad and that hurt them in T20s. The likes of Smriti Mandhana and Jemimah Rodrigues will get more time to construct their innings in the 50-over format.

Opener Shafali Verma’s form has been under the scanner for a while now and she would look to silence her critics.

Of late, India has found a way to post 270-plus totals regularly, but in the prevailing conditions, Harmanpreet feels that would be a far cry.

“Wicket is quite slow and we are not expecting too many runs. Rather than thinking about those big totals, getting (enough) runs for the teams is most important,” she said.

Bangladesh has recalled Shamin Akhter for the series. Shorna Akter, Marufa Akter and Salma Khatun have also been included.
