India Dominates Bangladesh in Fourth Women's T20, Leads Series 4-0

India continued its dominance over Bangladesh in the fourth women's T20 match in Sylhet on May 6, securing a 56-run victory via the Duckworth-Lewis method. The match was shortened to 14 overs per side due to persistent rain and hail.

Harmanpreet Kaur (38) and Richa Ghosh (24) shared a crucial 44-run partnership to help India post a competitive 122 for six. Bangladesh, chasing 125 in 14 overs, struggled to keep up with the required run rate.

Opener Dilara Akter (21) provided some resistance, but the rest of the batters failed to reach double digits. India's bowlers, led by Asha Sobhana (2/18), Deepti Sharma (2/22), Radha Yadav (1/15), and Pooja Vastrakar (1/16), restricted Bangladesh to 68 for seven.

India now leads the five-match series 4-0. The victory was particularly significant for Kaur, who played her 300th international game. She and Ghosh played key roles in boosting India's total after a rain break.

Bangladesh's batters, on the other hand, were unable to cope with the pressure of chasing a revised target. The Indian bowlers maintained a tight line and length, making it difficult for the hosts to score boundaries.

India's victory extends their impressive record against Bangladesh in women's T20 cricket. The team has now won 10 consecutive matches against their neighbors.
