A thrilling spectacle unfolded at the Sher-e-Bangla Stadium as the 3rd and final ODI between India Women and Bangladesh Women ended in a jaw-dropping TIE! The series was deadlocked at 1-1, making this match a decider for the coveted trophy, but destiny had different plans.
Smriti Mandhana (59), Harleen Deol (77), and Jemimah Rodrigues (33*) played crucial roles in India's pursuit of Bangladesh's 225-run total.
In the earlier innings, India stumbled from a comfortable 191 for five in the 42nd over to 217 for nine in the 48th over. However, the last-wicket pair of Jemimah Rodrigues and Meghna Singh displayed incredible resilience, inching India closer to the victory.
With just one run needed to win off the last four balls, Marufa Akter dismissed Meghna for six, sparking dissatisfaction among the Indian batters over the decision.
Following a disappointing start, where the Indian women's team suffered its first-ever defeat to Bangladesh, the visitors came back strong with a dominant 108-run triumph on Wednesday, leveling the series.
