- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR1.6 another chance and Bangladesh don't drop this. The move to bring an offspinner against Mandhana pays off. It was full at the stumps. Mandhana looked to go aerial down the ground but ended up getting a top edge. The mid-on fielder pedalled back and took the catch 9/113.5 TAKEN! Finally. Khatun with the wicket. Substitute fielder with a big celebration, in disgust presumabely, as a catch is finally taken. This was pitched high up, and Shafali couldn't really get under the ball. Tried to clobber it over long on, but fell short. Farjana with the catch, and Shafali walks back for a well-made 40-ball 64 92/39.2 Rawal's struggling innings ends. Comes down the track but ends up playing early. It goes straight up. Dilara settles under it at mid-off. The ball pops out of her hands but she manages to grab the rebound 59/218.3 top ball, and the aggressor is out! Tosses this up, full ball outside off and entices Richa to come down the track. Ball lands on the deck and turns away, leaving Richa well short of the crease as she finds air in her big bat swing. Top glovework by the captain too, because Richa was on her way back 128/419.5 full ball on middle. She keeps a still head and tries to drive over mid-off, but it doesn't have enough. Fielder at mid-off smartly moves to her right and takes a catch. Rabeya tracks this with top judgment and Deepti is gone. But what a good cameo from Deepti there! 149/519.6 full ball outside off. Fulmali misses the swing of the bat. They try to pinch a bye, but the keeper throws the ball to the bowler, and Bharti is run out.

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.5 Gaud has raised the fielding standard with this catch. Goes for the slog sweep but ends up miscuing it towards deep midwicket. Gaud runs in and completes the catch with a slide 35/25.3 50th T20I wicket for Shree Charani. It was a length ball. Ferdous went for the slog sweep but ended up top-edging it on the leg side, just next to the pitch. Ghosh called for it, jogged forward and took the catch 26/113.3 through her! Length ball around off. Mostary plants her front leg across the line and tries to bunt this to the leg side, but the ball evades the bat. Off stump knocked back! 66/314.6 swirling towards Nandani, but she'll hold on! The captain is gone. This was full outside off. Turning away but Sultana opts to come down the track and flick against the turn. Takes the leading edge to short third instead 76/415.5 off stump is clipped by Deepti! Length ball just outside off. Sharmin decides to go onto the back foot to play the leg-side flick. But her movement behind is too slow, and by the time she swipes the bat, the ball has already beaten her. The ball kisses the outside of off stump - and Bangladesh are five down 83/519.5 full and wide outside off. Ball's sliding away from the batter and her sliced shot pops up to point. Nandani with the back-of-the-hand slower delivery 109/619.6 it's all over - and India storm into the final with a 40-run victory! It's another back-of-the-hand slower ball, and this one has crashed into the stumps - not bowled, but a hit wicket! Rabeya tried to sweep over to the leg side and all she could do was get all tangled up. 109/7Extras0TOTAL109/7 (20 Overs, RR: 5.45)Fall of wickets: 1-26 (Juairiya Ferdous, 5.3 ov), 2-35 (Dilara Akter, 7.5 ov), 3-66 (Sobhana Mostary, 13.3 ov), 4-76 (Nigar Sultana, 14.6 ov), 5-83 (Sharmin Akhter, 15.5 ov), 6-109 (Fahima Khatun, 19.5 ov), 7-109 (Rabeya Khan, 19.6 ov)
