00:23The first semi-final of the DP World Women's T20 Asia Cup 2026
00:29sees India square off against Bangladesh in what is shaping up to be a high-stakes Thursday night encounter at
00:37the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
00:42And a little while ago, the toss took place.
00:46Nigar Sultana Jyoti called it right for the first time, won her first toss of this tournament and decided to
00:52bowl first.
00:53India have decided to field an unchanged combination and why not?
00:58This has got them great dividends.
01:01The starting XI expect Sprithi and Shefali to open again.
01:05It's also time to welcome into the commentary box Mazuruddin Umi from Bangladesh.
01:10But Bangladesh also coming up with an unchanged playing XI.
01:13They were 55 for 6, but the player, Karmin Akhtar, coming in and making a difference.
01:20So Bangladesh will be looking to improve with the bat, but it looks to be a very good bowling unit.
01:28Marufa, to Smriti.
01:31Off the mark is Mandana.
01:35Single taken.
01:39Oh, pick inside edge.
01:42Beats the fielder.
01:44Scurries to the fence.
01:46First boundary of the Indian innings in the semi-final against Bangladesh.
01:54Goes downtown.
01:56Fielder at long on.
01:59Drops it.
02:01Fahima Khatun in the deep.
02:03It was hanging in the air for ages.
02:06Never an easy catch in this ring of fire.
02:10And Fahima spills that one.
02:13Big, big blow.
02:17Oh, that's been skied.
02:18Another catching opportunity.
02:20Bangladesh, this is your moment.
02:21Sharnak, that takes it.
02:24Sultana Khatun of Swinna delivers on the promise of this matchup against the left-handed Smriti Mandana.
02:30Who has to walk back to the pavilion for just two runs.
02:35What a big wicket.
02:37Yes, they drop the catch of Shefali.
02:40But not this time.
02:43Again, trying to clear the infield.
02:46Getting that leading edge.
02:48A well-judged catch by Sharnak.
02:51Keeping her eyes on the ball till the last moment.
02:54Was going away from her.
02:56But she hangs on to it in the end.
02:59And that celebration comes in again.
03:01A big, big wicket for Bangladesh.
03:04Sriti Mandana goes after scoring two.
03:06India, 9 for 1.
03:10That's been smacked by Shefali.
03:13Cuts lose.
03:14Gets a second boundary of this match.
03:20Shapes it back into the right-handed Pratika Rawal.
03:24But tell you what.
03:25That is as delectable as it gets by way of a copybook cover drive.
03:30Off the mark.
03:31In some flamboyant fashion.
03:33Is Pratika Rawal.
03:37Uses her feet.
03:39And sends this up in the stratosphere.
03:42And it comes down with a degree of authority.
03:45Thunderous 6.
03:46First one of the Indian innings in the semifinal.
03:51Wow.
03:52She's not going to hold back.
03:54That's power wrapped with poise.
03:57Resplendent.
03:59Authoritative.
04:00In total control.
04:03Straight as an arrow.
04:06I'm short of words on Nesha.
04:09That's what she does to commentators and opposition bowlers alike.
04:14That is outrageous.
04:16Shefali.
04:18Smacks this with ridiculous ease.
04:21Back-to-back maximums.
04:25Her game has a swagger.
04:28Her shot selection has sense.
04:30Knowing the field at mid-off was inside the circle.
04:33Just held that away.
04:35And with the power she has.
04:37Was always going all the way for maximum.
04:47Oh, shot.
04:48Middle of the bat.
04:49Doesn't matter.
04:50There's a long on and a deep hit.
04:52It goes all the way.
04:55Three-dot delivery.
04:56Something had to happen.
04:58Rathika Raabal dispatches his toe mid-bicket.
05:01This is an excellent shot.
05:04Realise that there is not much turn on offer.
05:06When Rabia Khan is bowling.
05:09She's decided to go against the spin.
05:16Use of the feet.
05:18Wasn't near the pitch of the delivery.
05:20Fielder settles in.
05:21And little bit of rebound but gone.
05:24Rabia picks her first.
05:26Rathika was struggling on the surface.
05:28Will have to take the walk back.
05:31As Dilara completes the catch.
05:34And Rabia Khan, she has been bowling extremely well.
05:38Joy for Bangladesh fans.
05:42He has been bowling.
05:43Different deliveries.
05:45Almost a carom ball.
05:48Went up there.
05:49Couple of juggles there.
05:51And Dilara makes no mistake.
05:53Important wicket.
05:54The 50 partnership comes to an end.
05:59Rathika has to walk back for 20.
06:01India loses second at 59.
06:07Down the track.
06:08Charges.
06:09Got a thick edge.
06:11And it will race away for a boundary.
06:17Oh, beautifully bowled.
06:20That's hard luck for Marufa.
06:22Back to back boundaries.
06:23But not in control, Shefali.
06:28Innovation.
06:29And at its best,
06:32that Shefali Verma
06:33will pick up the boundary.
06:4120th T20 I-50
06:42for Shefali Verma.
06:45Just 22
06:46from Rotak in Haryana.
06:48And still every bit
06:49the prodigious talent
06:51India believes

07:10potentially match winning hand.
07:13There's no stopping
07:14this trailblazer
07:15from Haryana.
07:20Finish off in the total.
07:22Using a feat.
07:23It's up in the air.
07:24There's a fielder coming
07:25underneath it
07:26and it's put down.
07:30Drag this through
07:31mid-wicket once again.
07:33Challenge for the fielders.
07:34A hat-trick of boundaries
07:36for Shefali Verma.
07:38Six, four
07:39and now another four
07:40to her tally.
07:45Smacks this one
07:46with disdain.
07:47Field underneath it.
07:48This time
07:49she is a goner.
07:50Sultana Khatun
07:52delivers a crucial
07:54breakthrough.
