They dropped catches, but not points.<\/p>\n

The Women in Blue may have had another forgettable day when it came to fielding, but they notched a badly-needed, though very much expected, victory at Old Trafford here on a sweltering Thursday afternoon. The five-wicket victory\u00a0against Bangladesh, with 3.1 overs to spare, has kept their hopes alive in the Women\u2019s T20 World Cup.<\/p>\n

After restricting their eastern neighbour to 136 for eight, they had looked like cruising sooner though. But there was a bit of a wobble in the middle-order again, after a superb fifty from Shafali Verma.<\/p>\n

With the Indian score at 98 for four \u2013 from 94 for two —\u00a0the Bangladesh women may have sensed an opportunity for a big upset, but Jemimah Rodrigues (26, 15b, 3×4, 1×6) and captain Harmanpreet Kaur (13 n.o., 14b) made it sure that India would cross the line.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The way Shafali, who bowled India\u2019s first over yet again, came up with her confident strokes, it was clear that India was determined to improve its Net Run-Rate, which could indeed come into play later. She put on 30 for the first wicket with Smriti Mandhana, who played straight to Rabeya Khan at covers off Marufa Akter.<\/p>\n

Shafali was cross with herself and even hit her helmet with her gloved hand after she was stumped off Nahida Akter. Yastika Bhatia was shaping up well until she miscued and was caught at covers off Ritu Moni.<\/p>\n

India, nevertheless, got home comfortably enough in the end.<\/p>\n

With Australia virtually assured of a place in the semifinals from Group A, it was imperative that India left that disappointing defeat to South Africa on this very ground three days ago behind. It now has six points, two behind the formidable Aussies.<\/p>\n

The two teams will come face-to-face at Lord\u2019s at the weekend. South Africa is still slightly better placed than India when it comes to that race for the spot in the last four. The Proteas have easier opponents in their last two matches.<\/p>\n

Earlier, the Indians restricted Bangladesh to that modest total despite putting down catches, as they continued from\u00a0where they left off in the South Africa match. And the ball continued to chase Radha Yadav \u2014 one of the best fielders in the game \u2014 who had dropped two in that game.<\/p>\n

She put down opener Juairiya Ferdous off the bowling of Renuka Singh, who was playing her first match of the tournament.<\/p>\n

Juairiya went on to be the top-scorer for Bangladesh with 33 (31b, 5×4). Skipper Nigar Sultana (32, 27b, 4×4) and Sobhana Mostary (22) were the only others that lasted for a while, but the innings never really threatened to take off.<\/p>\n

Radha made up for her dropped catch with three wickets. Fellow left-arm spinner N. Shree Charani did what was expected of her, producing yet another impressive spell of two wickets. She now has 12 wickets, more than anybody else at this World Cup.<\/p>\n
