India vs Bangladesh Highlights, Women's Asia Cup Semi-Final: Shafali Verma Stars As India Beat Bangladesh To Enter Final

OUT! This was always coming, either a big over or a wicket, as Bangladesh's scoring rate had dipped since the arrival of India's spinners. Juairiya Ferdous top-edges the ball while trying to play a sweep shot. Wicketkeeper Richa Ghosh takes the catch while running forward to her left.

India vs Bangladesh LIVE: Poor from India!

Kranti Gaud has failed to bowl with a good plan, and India's fielding mistake only makes the over look poorer. Bangladesh are off to a promising start in the chase of 150. Shree Charani will bowl the first over of spin now, with Nandani Sharma going off the attack.

India vs Bangladesh LIVE: Shafali Verma slams half-century!

Shafali Verma slams her fifty in just 35 balls! This is a bowling track, but the Indian opener has held one end tightly, scoring runs at a good pace. Shafali takes a single on the fifth ball to reach the landmark and then gets a third life on the final ball. She would have been run out had the collection been right at the non-striker's end. Bangladesh's fielding today has been pathetic. 

INDW 78-2 (13)

Sep 10, 2026 20:50 (IST)

India vs Bangladesh LIVE: Good bowling

Only five runs come off this over from Fahima Khatun despite the spinner bowling a wide and leaking a run through byes. India need to accelerate a bit as they have been unable to score even six runs per over in the last five.

INDW 58-1 (8)

Sep 10, 2026 20:34 (IST)

India vs Bangladesh LIVE: 50 up for India!

Sep 10, 2026 20:30 (IST)

India vs Bangladesh LIVE: 6, 6 - Shafali on fire!!!

SIX, SIX! Well, this is going to hurt Bangladesh badly. Shafali Verma, who has got two lifelines so far, smashes Sultana Khatun for two massive sixes. On both occasions, the Indian opener jumps out of her crease and slams the ball down the ground for maximums. India get 14 runs off the over.

INDW 34-1(4)

Sep 10, 2026 20:16 (IST)

India vs Bangladesh LIVE: Action-packed over!

INDW 20-1(3)

Sep 10, 2026 20:11 (IST)

India vs Bangladesh LIVE: OUT! Mandhana departs

OUT! Smriti Mandhana is GONE! No mistake from Bangladesh this time as Shorna Akter takes the catch after taking a couple of steps outside the circle at mid-on. Mandhana tries to go downtown but edges it in the air. Akter takes a well-judged catch.

India vs Bangladesh LIVE: CATCH DROPPED!

1.3 - Would you believe it? Shafali Verma has been dropped at long-on. It was a regulation catch, but the Bangladesh fielder made a mess of it. Fahima Khatun failed to grab it on the edge of the boundary line.

Sep 10, 2026 20:07 (IST)

India vs Bangladesh LIVE: FOUR!

It was turning out to be a good first over from Marufa Akter, but she spoils it with a boundary on the final ball. The credit for it, however, goes to Shafali Verma, who walks across and plays it fine past short fine leg for four. Seven runs come off the first over for India.

INDW 7-0 (1)

Sep 10, 2026 20:03 (IST)

India vs Bangladesh LIVE: Action begins!

The game gets underway in Dubai, folks! Marufa Akter begins with a fuller delivery and Smriti Mandhana drives it to the right of mid-off for a single. Shafali Verma is on strike now.

India vs Bangladesh LIVE: India wanted to bat first!

"To be honest, we thought batting first only because we thought having runs on the board will give us a lot of confidence and good we got batting first," said India captain Harmanpreet Kaur.

"T20 format is like that. You can't take any team lightly and result is always uncertain. Today is a fresh game, and we have to go with a positive approach.

"I've been telling that, this pitch is really tricky. You can't really set something in your mind, but let's see how our batting power play goes and accordingly we'll see how much, we can put on the board."

India vs Bangladesh LIVE: Bangladesh aim to "play good cricket"

"We wanted to bowl first and we wanted to give our bowlers the wicket to work on. We are looking to play good cricket. We have good memories. It could be last or not the last game, but we want to play and execute well. We are playing the same team. We want to restrist India to a low score," said Bangladesh captain Nigar Sultana.

Sep 10, 2026 19:36 (IST)

IND vs BAN LIVE Score: India invited to bat!

Harmanpreet Kaur flips the coin in the air and Bangladesh captain Nigar Sultana gets the call right. As the coin lands in her favour, she opts to bowl first.

India are playing with an unchanged XI. Similar is the case with Bangladesh.

Sep 10, 2026 19:30 (IST)

Women's Asia Cup 2026 LIVE -

For Bangladesh to pose a challenge to the tournament heavyweights, their top order must fire against a probing Indian pace and spin attack. Bowlers like Rabeya Khan, Nahida Akter, and Marufa Akter will need to be at their absolute disciplined best to contain India's aggressive stroke-makers.

Though history and current form heavily favour the all-conquering Indian outfit, this format of the game often thrives on unpredictability, and Harmanpreet's side will not take their opponents lightly.

Toss set to take place now.

Sep 10, 2026 19:24 (IST)

Women's Asia Cup 2026 LIVE: Task cut out for Bangladesh!

Bangladesh's path to the final four has required resilience as they lacked India's absolute dominance. Nigar Sultana's side secured their semifinal berth with a 34-run victory over the UAE, though their batting frailties were exposed when they slumped to 55 for 6 before recovering through gritty knocks from Sharmin Akhter and the skipper herself.

Bangladesh need to put their best foot forward against a dominant side like India today.

Sep 10, 2026 19:20 (IST)

IND vs BAN LIVE Score: India's tight bowling attack -

On the bowling front, India possess immense variety and depth. The ever-consistent Deepti Sharma, who recently etched her name in the record books as the leading wicket-taker in women's T20 Internationals, continues to spin a web around opposition batters. Another spinner Shree Charani has also impressed with her bowling.

Sep 10, 2026 19:17 (IST)

IND vs BAN LIVE: India's formidable batting unit -

India's batting unit wears a formidable look. The incredible Smriti Mandhana enters this crucial fixture riding high on confidence after her exploits earlier in the tournament, highlighted by a belligerent 64-ball 124 against Hong Kong that further cemented her status as one of the game's premier modern-day batters.

Alongside the senior pro, explosive opener Shafali Verma -- who recently became the youngest and fastest to cross the 3,000-run milestone in Women's T20 Internationals -- has provided blistering starts, putting opposition attacks on the back foot inside the powerplay.

The middle order, anchored by skipper Harmanpreet and hard-hitting wicketkeeper-batter Richa Ghosh, offers both stability and late-innings firepower.

Sep 10, 2026 19:08 (IST)

India vs Bangladesh LIVE: Team India in sensational form

Harmanpreet Kaur's side has been in imperious form throughout the continental tournament, topping Group A after winning all their matches, and they are heavily favoured to march one step closer to another continental title triumph.

India's campaign so far in the tournament has been highlighted by dominant displays, none more so than their clinical group-stage thrashing of traditional rivals Pakistan, whom they skittled for just 55 before romping to a seven-wicket victory.

India vs Bangladesh LIVE: A high-stakes clash

Seven-time champions India will start as overwhelming favourites when they face a gritty Bangladesh side in the first semifinal of the Women's Asia Cup in Dubai today -- a high-stakes clash defined by intense on-field rivalry and underlying political subtext.

Diplomatic relations between New Delhi and Dhaka have experienced a strain following political transitions in Bangladesh, and broader tensions between the two neighbours in the past have often spilled over into the cricket field, and the trend is likely to continue.
