Women's WC Live: India off to a blazing start as Mandhana, Kaur dominate chase of 126

India vs Bangladesh Live Score, Women’s World Cup 2025: India suffered a worrying injury scare as Pratika Rawal twisted her right ankle while fielding at deep midwicket during their rain-affected Women’s World Cup group match against Bangladesh at the DY Patil Stadium on Sunday. Rawal’s foot got jammed on the wet outfield on the final ball of the 21st over, causing her to collapse. While a stretcher was brought onto the field, she managed to leave with assistance. The match lost over two hours and 15 minutes to intermittent rain, with the central pitch area covered but square boundaries left exposed, forcing the contest into a 27-over-per-side format.

Despite the disruptions, India dominated Bangladesh, restricting them to 119 for nine. Renuka Singh struck first, with Sumaiya Akhter caught at backward point off a wide delivery. Radha Yadav removed Bangladesh captain Nigar Sultana with a brilliant direct hit. Sharmin Akhter’s 36 provided brief resistance, but she was dismissed by substitute fielder Arundhati Reddy in a spectacular catch off Shree Charani. Sobhana Mostary (26) tried to steady the innings but fell to Radha Yadav, caught by Harleen Deol.

The focus now shifts to Rawal’s recovery ahead of India’s high-stakes semifinal against Australia on Thursday. Having scored a match-winning 122 against New Zealand earlier, Rawal’s presence alongside vice-captain Smriti Mandhana will be crucial for India’s pursuit of their maiden Women’s World Cup title. The team will hope for a full-strength squad as they prepare to face one of their toughest challenges yet.
