India, confident of their impressive win against defending champions Australia, will take on Bangladesh in their second group match at the ICC Women's T20 World Cup here on Monday, 24 February 2020, and are aiming to continue their winning streak. Leg-spinner Poonam Yadav's magical spell saw India beat Australia by 17 runs in the opening match of the tournament on Friday, but the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side cannot take Bangladesh lightly as they will have to beat their rival T20 Asia in 2018. Had to face defeat twice in the cup.
According to reports, Jemima Rodriguez and 16-year-old opener Shefali Verma, who scored 29 off 15 balls in the first match, are not part of the Asia Cup team, but if India have to defeat Bangladesh, then both of them will be important in the top order. If India wins on Monday, then it will also reach the knockout in the group of five teams. However, India will have to improve their batting, as the batsmen could not perform as expected against Australia and were able to score 132 runs.
For information, let us tell you that before the World Cup, Indian batsmen were not able to perform regularly and they have not scored big scores since the tri-series. If Poonam had not taken four wickets for 19 runs, then India's position against Australia was also fragile.
