The Indian women's cricket team managed to reach a respectable 142/6 against Bangladesh women in a group A match at the Women's T20 World Cup, in Perth.
Though India got off to a flying start, thanks to a 17-ball 39 by Shafali Verma, none of the other batswomen managed to score at a fast clip. Verma's innings was studded with four sixes and two fours.
Skipper Harmanpreet Kaur fell cheaply again for eight runs. Jemimah Rodrigues made a useful contribution of 34 but took up 37 balls.
It took a mini cameo from Veda Krishnamurthy (20* off 11 balls) to push India's score past 140.
For Bangladesh, skipper Salma Khatun and Panna Ghosh took two wickets each.
