After a dominant performance in the group stage of the Women’s Asia Cup, India now move to the knockout phase of the competition as they take on Bangladesh in the first semi-final on Thursday, September 10, at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, Dubai.
India have been unbeaten so far, having won all three of their group matches. They finished at the top of Group A, having beaten Thailand, Hong Kong China and Pakistan. The Harmanpreet Kaur-led side has had batting woes in the tournament, and will have to be cautious of their weakness heading into the upcoming fixture.
On the other hand, Bangladesh sealed their spot in the semi-final, following a 34-run victory against UAE women. They finished second in Group B, winning two out of three matches.
Despite not having a good record against India in T20Is, Bangladesh will be eager to make the most of the spin-friendly conditions in Dubai and put their fragile batting under pressure.
