Women's T20 WC: Nigar’s Resistance In Vain As India Keep Bangladesh To Modest 136/8
Old Trafford Cricket Ground: Captain Nigar Sultana and opener Juairiya Ferdous played composed knocks of 33 and 32 runs as Bangladesh posted 136/8 in 20 overs against a brilliant bowling effort of the Indian team, led by Radha Yadav, who took three wickets in the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026 at the Old Trafford Cricket Ground on Thursday.
After electing to bat first, Bangladesh endured a cautious start against a probing Indian attack. Shafali Verma set the tone with a tight opening over that yielded just three runs, while Renuka Singh Thakur, returning to the playing XI, struck early to provide India with the breakthrough.
Dilara Akter never looked settled and was dismissed for four in the second over when Renuka extracted extra bounce and forced an error, leaving Bangladesh at an early disadvantage.
