Improve your batting in order for India to defeat Bangladesh 3-0

The happy Indian women’s cricket team will try to end the T20I series on a high note against a sad Bangladesh team, which is already down 0-2 in the three-game T20I series.

The women led by Harmanpreet Kaur will try to improve their hitting after a disappointing showing when they batted first in the second T20I. India scored a lowly 95-8 in the first innings because their middle order didn’t have enough punch. As they tried to beat the low score, the Bangladesh Women fell like a pack of cards and were bowled out for 87.

India needs starter Shafali Verma to do well because the right-handed hitter is important to India’s chances in the ODIs, which start on July 16. Even though her best score was 19 off 14 balls for her team in the second T20I, Verma knows she doesn’t do well with the bat and will try to change that with a big score.

India’s failure to play spin was shown in the match, as Harleen Deol, Yastika Bhatia, and Jemimah Rodrigues all stumbled during their runs. Rodrigues, who likes to move quickly, didn’t do much to bother the judges with her 21-ball eight. Same thing happened to Deol, who took 21 pitches to score six runs. This could have cost India the game.

When it comes to hitting hard, it seems like the team depends a lot on the captain, Harmanpreet Kaur, in the striking area. Deepti Sharma, who can do everything, and Smriti Mandhana, who is her number two, need to step up with the bat.

The spinners controlled the last game, getting 16 wickets in 35 overs in both innings. This will give the bowlers a lot of confidence going into the next match. Bangladesh used all four of fast bowler Marufa Akter’s overs, but India’s only fast bowler, Puja Vastraka, only got to bowl one over because the pitch was better for slower spinners.

When defending 96, Deepti Sharma and Shafali hit the ball to stop the home team from getting more runs. Nigar Sultana, the leader of Bangladesh, scored 38 runs off 55 balls. He was the only one of his team’s batters to do well. Minnu Mani and Anusha Bareddy, two young Indian bowlers, have taken advantage of the chances they’ve been given in this series and want to keep going well.

Overall, Bangladesh will try to get their confidence back with a relief win before the ODI part of the tour on July 16. India is the clear favorite to win the series 3-0 against the home team.
