• Nahida Akter: “The fielding was not up to the mark and the bowling too, we could not restrict them and India posted a good total.”

Analysis

India needed such a performance after a disappointing result in the first ODI. Jemimah Rodrigues was the standout with both bat and ball. She scored 86 runs with the bat and took 4 wickets with the ball. Credit must go to Smriti Mandhana, stand-in skipper for an injured Harmanpreet, for trusting Jemimah and giving her the ball.

Bangladesh had lost a few wickets at the start but Ritu and Fargana steadied the innings and started to string in a partnership. Just when they had upped the ante, Devika struck and broke the 67-run stand. It was a procession after that as Bangladesh lost their last 7 wickets for 14 runs. Devika and Jemimah shared the last 7 wickets to fall.

India has leveled the series with a dominating performance. The decider will be played on Saturday. Can Bangladesh brush this defeat off and come back stronger? Or will India put up another dominating performance? Do join us to find out. Until next time, goodbye and stay safe.
