Radha, Richa guide India to 5-0 series sweep vs Bangladesh

Left-arm spinner Radha Yadav

Radha Yadav (3-24) ran through Bangladesh’s top-order after Richa Ghosh’s quickfire unbeaten 28 off 17 balls, setting up India’s 21-run win in the fifth T20I and a 5-0 series sweep here on Thursday.


Chasing 157, Bangladesh began promisingly, but collapsed against the left-arm spinner Yadav. Despite the rearguard act by Ritu Moni (37, 33b, 4x4) and Shorifa Khatun (28 not out, 21b, 3x4s), the hosts finished at 136-6 in 20 overs.


All-rounder Moni and Shorifa put on a resolute stand of 57 runs for the sixth wicket to lead the fightback and put India in pressure, but the visitors prevailed eventually.


The stand between Moni and Khatun was also Bangladesh’s highest for the sixth wicket in WT20Is, breaking the 32 between Sanjida Islam and Nigar Sultana.

Earlier, Ghosh smacked a handy little innings with three fours and a six to take India to 156-5, providing a much-needed impetus after the visitors stumbled with a flurry of wickets.

Skipper Harmanpreet Kaur (30), Dayalan Hemalatha (37) and S Sajana (1) fell in quick succession which allowed Bangladesh to halt India’s progress as they were aiming for a big score.

Harmanpreet and Hemalatha put on 60 runs for the third wicket for a strong foundation.

Brief scores
