ICC Women’s World Cup: Twitter Reacts To Mithali Raj-led Team India’s Emphatic 110-Run Victory Over Bangladesh

Yastika Bhatia got to her second fifty of the tournament but fell off the very next ball attempting the paddle sweep.

New Delhi: A comprehensive performance by the Indian bowling attack led by Sneh Rana (4 wickets for 30 runs) and Yastika Bhatia’s half century ensured a 110-run victory over Bangladesh. This was a must win game for India here at Hamilton as their chances got affected after their loss against Australia.

Twitter was full of praises for the Mithali Raj led-team after their clinical performance. Cricket experts had a huge sigh of relief after the victory. Here are a few tweets:

Bangladesh captain Nigar Sultana when asked about the difference in their approach with the bat and India’s:

“They have played [over] 240 matches [in the ODI format] and we have played only 46 so far.”
