India women enjoy a 13-3 head-to-head record over Bangladesh women in T20Is. Check here live streaming details of IND-W vs BAN-W Asian Games 2023 semifinal.
New Delhi: After a rain-marred quarterfinal win, the Indian women’s cricket team are gearing up for a stronger challenge when they take on Bangladesh in the ongoing Asian Games 2023 semifinal on Sunday at the Zhejiang University of Technology Cricket Field in Hangzhou, China. India’s quarterfinal match against Malaysia was abandoned due to rain but the Smriti Mandhana-led side advanced to the last four owning to their better seeding. Bangladesh too qualified in a similar fashion after their last eight encounter against Hong Kong was washed out without a ball being bowled.
Unlike Malaysia, Bangladesh will be a tough nut to crack on Sunday, the glimpses of which India had seen earlier in the year when they toured the neighbouring country. India won the T20I series 2-1 while the ODI series ended in a draw. It was on the same tour, that India captain Harmanpreet Kaur was punished for her outburst in the final ODI. Harmanpreet was handed a two-match ban by the ICC. She missed the Malaysia game and will not play against Bangladesh too.
If India manage to beat Bangladesh in the semifinals, Harmanpreet will return in the final with either Pakistan or Sri Lanka as the opposition. The good news is that there are no chances of rain on Sunday. However, the weather is expected to remain cloudy and humid, according to Accuweather.

Against Malaysia, the Indian batters made most of the opportunity as Shafali Verma and Mandhana got much-needed batting practice. Verma also became the first Indian to score an Asian Games fifty.
