Bangladesh completed their highest-ever overall of 225/4 within the 50-over structure in opposition to India, with Fargana Hoque (107) impressively registering her nation’s first-ever ODI century.
In reaction, India’s opener, Smriti Mandhana, contributed 59 runs, and Harleen Deol displayed a exceptional efficiency with 77 runs within the middle-order. However, India’s batting lineup skilled a dramatic cave in, shedding their ultimate six wickets for a trifling 34 runs, sooner or later getting bowled out for 225 in 49.3 overs.
The sequence led to a tie at 1-1, leaving India to accept this end result after the three-match ODI sequence in opposition to Bangladesh.
“I think (there is) a lot of learning for us from the game. Even apart from the cricket, the kind of umpiring that was happening, we were very surprised. The next time we come to Bangladesh we will make sure we have to deal with this type of umpiring and prepare ourselves accordingly,” Harmanpreet advised the broadcaster after the event.
India’s ultimate pair of Jemimah Rodrigues (33 now not out) and Meghna Singh (6) took the staff with reference to win, however a contentious caught-behind determination in opposition to the latter turns out to have added to India’s woes.
Both Jemimah and Meghna seemed unsatisfied with the caught-behind determination.
The India captain lashed out on the on-field umpires, Muhammad Kamruzzaman and Tanvir Ahmed — each locals –, terming their umpiring as “pathetic”.
Harmanpreet mentioned, “They (Bangladesh) batted really well, batted according to the situation. They were taking those singles which were very crucial. In between, we leaked a few runs but we controlled the game very well when we were batting, but as I mentioned earlier, some pathetic umpiring was done.
“We are in point of fact upset about some selections given by way of the umpires,” said the India captain, who hit the stumps with her bat in frustration and gestured towards the umpire when she was adjudged out leg-before for 14 off Nahida Akter.
The India captain praised Harleen Deol for her 77, which came off 108 balls with nine fours.
“She seemed very promising within the ultimate recreation, so we promoted her to bat freely and she or he took the chance with each arms. Jemi (Jemimah) used to be in point of fact just right right through the innings. She performed neatly,” she said.
“(It used to be a) just right recreation, (a) lot of studying and finally our High Commission from India could also be there and I’m hoping it’s worthwhile to have invited him right here, however that also is high-quality. And thanks sir for coming right here,” the India captain told the host broadcaster.
Bangladesh had earlier recorded their first-ever ODI win against India in the first match when they won by 40 runs via the Duckworth–Lewis–Stern method, but the visitors bounced back to defeat the hosts by 108 runs in the second game.
