6:23pm: After piling up their highest T20I score - 163 - the spinners strangled the chase, hiking the asking rate. They looped the ball up generously as the scoreboard pressure told on Bangladesh. They only meandered to 91 for 5; their lack of match-time was exposed this evening.
Harmanpreet is the Player of the Match: I just tried to execute my shots. We just wanted to put a good total on board. I hope we will continue the momentum.
Mithali Raj, India captain: The team has done well, though Bangladesh is an improved side. This win gives us a lot of confidence. The ball was coming onto the bat, alongwide Vanitha we did the job in the first six overs.
Jaharana Alam, Bangladesh captain: Rumana and Nahida bowled well and India had wickets in hand. We just gave more runs. India are a strong side. The required run rate moved to 10-12. It is quite good to score 91 against a strong team like India.
Murli : "India hit 15 4s and 4 sixes. Bangla hit 7 4s. Says it all."
Sib: "Any guess for the MOM. My MOM would be Harmanpreet Kaur."
That is all we have for you from this match. Many thanks for your company and comments. Over to the Men's Super 10s opener in Nagpur. Goodbye.
