India Vs Bangladesh Live Score, Asian Games Women's Semi-Final: Shafali Sends One Sailing Over Long-Off

Smriti Mandhana joins the party! Sultana Khatun drifts one short and down the leg side, and Mandhana swivels into a fierce pull over backward square leg. She nailed it flat, and those short boundaries have done the rest. The runs are flowing from both ends now.

Shafali Verma is turning it on. Shanjida Akter Meghla tosses one up right in the hitting arc, and Shafali launches it high and over long-off. With these short boundaries at Nisshin, that was always going to fly. What a way to finish the over.

And here we go! The semi-final is officially underway. Smriti Mandhana takes guard, Shafali Verma is at the non-striker’s end, and Marufa Akter has the new ball. Bangladesh are ready, let’s see how India start this one.

The two teams are out for the national anthems, with India’s anthem up first, followed by Bangladesh’s. Harmanpreet Kaur has chosen to bat first, with India playing on the same pitch that hosted Pakistan vs Sri Lanka. The India captain expects the surface to get slower as the match progresses.
