Dhaka, July 22 (Ians) India and Bangladesh will be sharing the women’s Odi series trophy after the decider match ended in a thrilling and dramatic tie at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium on Saturday, with the series scoreline ending at 1-1.
Opener Fargana Hoque scored 107, her first Odi hundred, and also became the first centurion from Bangladesh in women’s 50-over international cricket. Her effort, along with Shamima Sultana’s 52, helped Bangladesh post a respectable 225 for 4 on a spin-friendly pitch.
In reply, knocks of 77 and 59 from Harleen Deol and Smriti Mandhana respectively kept India in the hunt for winning the match and series. But from 191 for four in the 42nd over, India dramatically lost their next six wickets for just 34 runs, including two in the 48th over, to be all out for 225 in 49.3 overs.
With no Super Over held due to the paucity of time, India and Bangladesh will be sharing the Odi series trophy.

Mumbai, March 20 (Ians) Riding high on classy knocks by Grace Harris and Tahlia McGrath along with Sophie Ecclestone’s thrilling show in the final over, Up Warriorz stunned Gujarat Giants by three wickets here at Brabourne Stadium to seal their berth in play-offs in the inaugural Women’s Premier League (Wpl) here on Monday.

Mumbai, March 16 (Ians) A much better batting and bowling performance meant Gujarat Giants managed to keep their chances for a top-three finish in the Women’s Premier League (Wpl) with an 11-run win over Delhi Capitals at Brabourne Stadium on Thursday.
Though 147/4 looked a little short of the usual par score at the venue, skipper Sneh Rana insisted it was a par score based on how the conditions were, especially with the pitch slowing down in the later stages of the tournament.
“Smile is always there. We thought 150 was par based on the conditions. Lanning’s was a big wicket and we enjoyed it. Kim started brilliantly, momentum was with us. The two-wicket over swung it back. Whoever contributes, it’s good,” she said in the post-match presentation ceremony.

Mumbai, March 16 (Ians) The Gujarat Giants managed to hold their nerve to get back to winning ways by registering an 11-run win over Delhi Capitals in match 14 of the Women’s Premier League (Wpl) at the Brabourne Stadium on Thursday.
After scintillating fifties from Laura Wolvaardt and Ashleigh Gardner took Gujarat to 147/4 in 20 overs, the bowlers did well, and coupled with mistakes from Delhi’s batters, were able to reduce them to 100/8 by the 15th over.
But Arundhati Reddy gave Gujarat an almighty scare with her 17-ball 25 and shared a partnership of 35 off 21 balls with Shikha Pandey. But with her falling in the 18th over meant Gujarat eventually finished on the right side of the result and pushed Royal Challengers Bangalore to the bottom of the points table.
After captain Meg Lanning survived a pretty close on the very first ball off Kim Garth, Shafali Verma got going by lofting...
