Dilara helps Bangladesh post 117 before India

Dilara Akter played a convincing knock to help Bangladesh post 117 runs before India in the third game of the five-match T20 series at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium on Thursday.

Being asked to bat, Bangladesh got a decent start with the bat of Dilara, adding 46 runs in the first wicket. She played a 27-ball 39 with a strike of 144.44.
However, the run rate started going down after her departure as no other batter could accelerate the innings to get a good score.

Skipper Nigar Sultana Joty added 28 runs from 36 balls while Sobhana Mostary got 20-ball 15.

Radha Yadav picked up two wickets for India.
