India women vs Bangladesh Women's Asia Cup 2026 Live Updates and Score

Hello everyone, and welcome to the live blog for the India women vs Bangladesh women's Asia Cup 2026 semi-final match.

Bangladesh are losing wickets at regular intervals. The last 30 balls have yielded 33 runs and three wickets lost. Rawat got the big fish of Nigar Sultana, while Deepti got Sobhana and Sharmin. The required rate is over 20, and this is one-way traffic in Dubai.

India may have fluffed a couple of chances in the field, but their bowlers have barely put a foot wrong. Smart bowling rotations have denied Bangladesh any rhythm, choking the boundary flow and making timing nearly impossible on this surface. With the required run rate now surging beyond 10, the pressure is firmly mounting on the batting side.

First wicket down for Bangladesh! Shree Charani breaks the opening stand as Juairiya Ferdous perishes looking to up the ante. A mistimed swipe across the line produces a high top-edge, safely pouched by a vocal Richa Ghosh behind the stumps. The pressure got the better of Ferdous as the required rate has crossed nine runs per over.

Harmanpreet Kaur anchored one end through to the close, though she found timing hard to come by in a 28-ball 24. A vital late blitz from Deepti Sharma, smashing 13 off just six deliveries, provided the closing spark to carry India to 149. It is an imposing target, leaving Bangladesh with a steep mountain to climb.

A brilliant recovery by India in the middle overs. Verma played a sensational knock of 64 runs from 40 balls to help India get out of the rut. Richa Ghosha nd Harmanpreet Kaur will be key to India's 150 hopes.

Bangladesh have checked the run flow, and they have got the wicket of Rawat as well. Verma needs to play a big one to help India post a respectable score.

Bangladesh started brightly after getting the big wicket of Smriti Mandhana, but Shefali Verma and Pratika Rawal are going strongly. A decent score in the powerplay and India will be looking at 150.
