Presentation....
The top order yet again failed for Bangladesh. Nigar Sultana will be disappointed as in couple of games had one of the top three anchored or hung around till the halfway mark, they could have got closer to the victory line but credit to Indian bowlers, especially the spinners who have been outstanding throughout the series. Radha Yadav was just brilliant and so was Deepti Sharma while Shreyanka Patil earlier and Asha Sobhana in couple of games showed their worth. It is the spinners in the middle overs who have won the game mostly for India and they will be really proud of the effort shown. A brilliant series overall for India as they cleansweep their Asian neighbours.
Yet again a comfortable win for India Women and they clinch the series 5-0. However, they were made to work hard this time around as the openers took on the seamers to get the chase going but once the spinners came in, they lost five wickets in no time. It looked like Bangladesh Women will lose to a big margin but Ritu Moni and Shorifa Khatun got them into the game by stitching a wonderful partnership. India were seen under pressure as they dropped a few catches but once Moni fell, there was a sight of relief. Shorifa Khatun in the end tried her best but it was a long chase for the lone player.

Three runs! The batters showed a lot of fight in the last ball despite already losing it. On middle, Khan flicks it to mid-wicket and calls for two. The throw rolls past the keeper and they take one more. India Women win by 21 runs.
