India Women 0/0 in 0.0 Overs | IND vs BAN Live Score, Women’s Asian Games Semi Final: Harmanpreet Kaur wins the toss, India opts to bat first

IND W Vs BAN W Live Score: Defending champions India Women will take on Bangladesh Women in the second semi-final of the 2026 Asian Games women’s cricket tournament on Sunday, September 20, with a place in the gold medal game up for grabs.

India go into the knockout clash in strong form after an eight-wicket win over hosts Japan in the quarter-finals. The bowlers restricted Japan to 57 with Shree Charani returning figures of 4/10 before Shafali Verma’s unbeaten 40 off 15 balls guided India to victory in just five overs.

India will look to carry that momentum into the semi-finals. Their recent record against Bangladesh also offers confidence as they beat them by 40 runs in the women’s Asia Cup semi-final earlier this month. Shafali’s aggressive batting could be crucial while Charani and Deepti Sharma will lead the Indian attack.

Meanwhile, Bangladesh progressed after their quarter-final against China was abandoned due to a wet pitch. They advanced as the higher seeded team and will now face a significant challenge against the defending champions.

Captain Nigar Sultana will be important to Bangladesh’s batting plans, while spinner Nahida Akter could play a key role in trying to keep India’s powerful line-up. Bangladesh will need early wickets and a disciplined bowling effort to put pressure on the Indian batsmen.

India will be looking to secure their place in the finals while Bangladesh will be hoping to pull off an upset and move a step closer to the gold medal.
