Harmanpreet Kaur lands in HUGE trouble following misconduct with officials during 3rd ODI vs Bangladesh

<p>The Bangladesh Women's Team has created history by beating their Indian counterparts for the first time in ODIs. In the first of the three One-Dayers in Dhaka on Sunday, the home team stunned the star-studded Indian side by 40 runs in a low-scoring rain-hit match.</p>

<p>Electing to bowl first after winning the toss, the Indian team struck gold inside the first ten overs by removing both openers in the gap of six balls. Fargana Hoque and captain and keeper Nigar Sultana bailed the team out of trouble with a 49-run stand for the third wicket.&nbsp;</p>

<p>However, debutant&nbsp;Amanjot Kaur picked up right-handed batter Fargana before dismissing Nigar on 39. Devika Vaidya, the leg-spinner, also chipped in with two scalps. Though there were few contributions from the tailenders, four for 26 in nine overs for Amanjot helped India wrap up Bangladesh's innings for a mere 152.</p>

<p>Coming off on the&nbsp;back of a 2-1 T20I series win over Bangladesh, the Indian women's team was confident in chasing the target without much hassle. But there was a twist in the tale.</p>

<p>A game that got reduced to 44 overs per side due to rain interruption saw the Indian openers going about their business from the word go. After hitting two fours,&nbsp;star batter Smriti Mandhana fell&nbsp;to Marufa Akter on 11. The right-arm medium bowler also dismissed Priya Punia on 10 to put India's back against the wall early on.</p>

<p>Captain Harmanpreet Kaur also failed to stand tall against the Bangladesh bowling attack, getting out on just five. With Jemimah Rodrigues (10) and keeper-batter Yastika Bhatia (15) also departing cheaply, the Indian&nbsp;team was staring at a rare and shocking defeat.&nbsp;</p>

<p>While Deepti Sharma and first-inning hero Amanjot kept India in the game with crucial 20 and 15, respectively, both got out in the space of just three balls, as India got reduced to 91 for eight at that stage.</p>

<p>The upbeat Bangladeshi women's team completed the formalities and wrapped up the Indian innings on 113, winning the match by 40 runs.</p>

<h2>We didn't take responsibility - Harmanpreet Kaur</h2>

<p>"We didn't take responsibility and bat well. In bowling also, we were not up to the mark. Sometimes some bowlers bowl very well; overall we are not batting up to the mark and not bowling according to our strengths.

Bangladesh women's team clinch maiden ODI win over India, beat them by 40 runs in rain-hit first ODI

<p>Indian Women’s Team captain Harmanpreet Kaur displayed grit and hit an unbeaten 54 to help her side win the first T20I against Bangladesh in Mirpur on Sunday. The right-handed batter hit six fours and two sixes in her first outing in the Indian colours since the T20 World Cup semis debacle against the Aussies in February early this year.</p>

<p>Electing to bowl first after winning the toss, the Indian Women’s Team made light work of the hosts, picking the first wicket inside the Powerplay.</p>

<p>In the absence of experienced Shikha Pandey, Pooja Vastrakar shared the new ball with Amanjot Kor, while Deepti Sharma made her presence felt with a tight spell.</p>

<p>On the wicket that looked like assisting the batters, the collective bowling performance from the unit restricted Bangladesh to an under-par total of 114 for five in 20 overs. While there were a few 20s from the batting side, none could pounce on the chance and make it big.</p>

<p>Meanwhile, the chase didn’t begin well for the Indian team as new-ball bowler Marufa Akter dismissed Shafali Plumb in front on a three-ball duck.

BAN-W vs IND-W, 1st T20I: Harmanpreet Kaur's unbeaten 54 guides India to easy seven-wicket win in opener

<p><meta name="uuid" content="uuidF7yFYLaiJCXA" /><meta charset="utf-8" /></p>

<p>Star seamers Renuka Singh and Shikha Pandey, alongside keeper-batter Richa Ghosh, are among the experienced players who missed out on making the cut in limited-over squads for the away Bangladesh series starting July 9. Rajeshwari Gayakwad and a gun-fielder and bowler Radha Yadav also got overlooked for three T20Is and as many ODIs, to be played at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur.</p>

<p>The BCCI statement, released four days before the Indian team&nbsp;leaves for Dhaka, didn’t mention the reason for their omissions from the squads. Off all the names, Shikha Pandey was the lone player not to fall under BCCI’s central contract for the upcoming season.</p>

<p>In Richa Ghosh’s absence - who made headlines for her stellar performances with the bat during the Women’s T20 World Cup, scoring 136 in five matches at 68.00, Assam’s Uma Chetry got the nod. The 20-year-old youngster is second to Yastika Bhatia in both T20Is and ODIs and was part of the India-A side, which won the ACC Emerging Nations tournament in Hong Kong.</p>

<p>Under the leadership of seasoned campaigner Harmanpreet Kaur, Kerala’s Minnu Mani (for T20Is only) and the left-arm spin bowling duo of Anusha Bareddy (Andhra Pradesh) and Rashi Kanojiya (Uttar Pradesh) were also picked in both squads. Meanwhile, left-arm seamer Monica Patel and batter Priya Punia also got drafted into the main squad; whereas, Sneh Rana, another experienced player, is not just part of the ODI team.</p>

<h2>BCCI to appoint new head coach for Women’s Team</h2>

<p>The BCCI is yet to finalise the new head coach of the Indian Women’s Cricket Team, with former domestic great Amol Muzumdar, ex-team coach Tushar Arothe and former Durham batter Jon Lewis among the frontrunners.</p>

<p>Following the removal of ex-India cricketer Ramesh Powar as the team’s head coach for the second time late last year, Hrishikesh Kanitkar was appointed the interim coach for the 2023 T20 World Cup.</p>

<p>Earlier at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in May, all the players picked for this tour were part of the fitness-intensive conditioning camp. Interim coach Kanitkar was also present.</p>

<p>It is to note that this is the women's team's first series since the T20 World Cup, where they lost to Australia in the semis. It marks the beginning of a busy calendar for them, with New Zealand, England, and Australia set to tour over the next six months. Besides, England and Australia will play Tests in a multi-format tour.</p>

Star seamers Renuka Singh and Shikha Pandey, alongside keeper-batter Richa Ghosh, are among the experienced players who missed out on making the cut in limited-over squads for the away Bangladesh series starting July 9.

Star seamers Renuka Singh and Shikha Pandey, alongside keeper-batter Richa Ghosh, are among the experienced players who missed out on making the cut in limited-over squads for the away Bangladesh series starting July 9. Rajeshwari Gayakwad and a gun-fielder and bowler Radha Yadav also got overlooked for three T20Is and as many ODIs, to be played at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur. The BCCI statement, released four days before the Indian team leaves for Dhaka, didn’t mention the reason for their omissions from the squads. Off all the names, Shikha Pandey was the lone player not to fall under BCCI’s central contract for the upcoming season. In Richa Ghosh’s absence - who made headlines for her stellar performances with the bat during the Women’s T20 World Cup, scoring 136 in five matches at 68.00, Assam’s Uma Chetry got the nod. The 20-year-old youngster is second to Yastika Bhatia in both T20Is and ODIs and was part of the India-A side, which won the ACC Emerging Nations tournament in Hong Kong.

Meanwhile, left-arm seamer Monica Patel and batter Priya Punia also got drafted into the main squad; whereas, Sneh Rana, another experienced player, is not just part of the ODI team. BCCI to appoint new head coach for Women’s Team The BCCI is yet to finalise the new head coach of the Indian Women’s Cricket Team, with former domestic great Amol Muzumdar, ex-team coach Tushar Arothe and former Durham batter Jon Lewis among the frontrunners. Following the removal of ex-India cricketer Ramesh Powar as the team’s head coach for the second time late last year, Hrishikesh Kanitkar was appointed the interim coach for the 2023 T20 World Cup. Earlier at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in May, all the players picked for this tour were part of the fitness-intensive conditioning camp. Interim coach Kanitkar was also present. It is to note that this is the women's team's first series since the T20 World Cup, where they lost to Australia in the semis. It marks the beginning of a busy calendar for them, with New Zealand, England, and Australia set to tour over the next six months. Besides, England and Australia will play Tests in a multi-format tour.
