In a display of clinical bowling mastery, Pacers Renuka Singh and Pooja Vastrakar claimed five wickets collectively, orchestrating India’s compelling victory over Bangladesh by a margin of 44 runs in today’s inaugural women’s T20I encounter.

Opting to bat first, captain Harmanpreet Kaur and Yastika Bhatia exemplified resilience in the middle order. However, India fell short of a spectacular finish, posting a total of 145/7.
