India rode on Renuka Singh's 3 for 18 to beat Bangladesh by 45 runs in the opening game of the five-match T20I series in Sylhet, on a humid Sunday evening. India have won 15 of 18 T20Is against Bangladesh now. Excepting the Bangladesh chief Nigar Sultana, the players couldn't generally set up a battle in pursue of 146, which at the innings break felt like a less than impressive complete given India's log jam in the last stage. Sultana's 51, the top-scorer among the two groups, wasn't enough as Bangladesh marshaled just 101 for 8 of every 20 overs. They had a precarious beginning to the pursuit, losing their main three of Dilhara Akther, Murshida Khatun and Sobhana Mostary inside the powerplay, with Renuka representing two wickets in her three overs and Deepti Sharma one. Pooja Vastrakar eliminated Fahima Khatun following the powerplay to leave Bangladesh reeling at 30 for 4. Sultana's five fours and a six in her 48-ball stay hauled the hosts past 100 yet she found little assistance at the other hand as wickets fell around her. Renuka returned the sixteenth over to eliminate Rabeya Khan to add one more to her count while Vastrakar got two and Shreyanka Patil, Radha Yadav and Deepti took a wicket each. Yastika sparkles before India's breakdown Youthful legspinner Rabeya Khan's three wickets assisted Bangladesh with confining India to 145 for 7. Yastika Bhatia's 36 and appearances from Shafali Verma, Harmanpreet Kaur and Richa Ghosh pushed India to a moderate complete which demonstrated enough toward the end. Subsequent to arriving at 100 in 12.2 overs, India couldn't contact the 150-mark with a few hitters neglecting to change over begins and advance at the demise overs as the group lost five wickets for 39 runs. Smriti Mandhana fell early when she tracked down a thick inside edge onto the legstump, in the third finished, attempting to be forceful. Shafali began well, scoring three fours and a six in her 22-ball 31 preceding tumbling to Rabeya in the 10th over when she attempted to play across the line and tracked down the top edge. Yastika and Harmanpreet then, at that point, balanced out the innings in the center overs, giving the establishment to a dramatic finale. Yastika, opened in at No.3 instead of the harmed Jemimah Rodrigues, played a couple of perfect cover drives along the ground, rearranged across and cleared past the short fine leg defender to find limits and looked set to take off. In her 28-ball innings, she hit six fours and sewed two urgent associations - first and foremost, 43 off 31 with Shafali for the subsequent wicket and afterward 45 off 33 with Harmanpreet. Be that as it may, Bangladesh retaliated with the wickets of Harmanpreet and Yastika in continuous overs to crash India. Harmanpreet was caught lbw for 30 off legspinner Fahima Khatun in the fourteenth over and Yastika found the point defender after she confused a hurl off Rabeya. Debutant S Sajana was elevated to No.6 and with Ghosh at the opposite end, India anticipated a few firecrackers. In any case, that didn't occur. Sajana's visit was brief as she was excused for a run-a-ball 11 and Ghosh, in the wake of scoring up two fours and a six, tumbled to Marufa Akther's speed in the last finished. Marufa changed over it into a twofold wicket over, eliminating Vastrakar off the last ball and surrendering only two runs from the over. Bangladesh put on a blended handling show, dropping three gets off Shafali, Mandhana and Sajana yet additionally showed great work to save a couple of limits close to the rope.
