Bangladesh lose series to India two matches earlier

Bangladesh suffered yet another defeat to India as they lost the five-match T20 series only playing three games.

The Tigresses conceded the third game by seven wickets with nine balls in hand at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium on Thursday.
In reply to 117, India easily overtook the run keeping seven wickets in hand with a 91-run stand between two openers Smriti Mandhana, 47, and Shafali Verma, 51.

Nahida Akter, Rabeya Khan and Ritu Moni took one wicket apiece for Bangladesh.

Earlier being asked to bat, Bangladesh got a decent start with the bat of Dilara Akter, 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.
