CHANDIGARH: At 86/5, with 10 runs to get off the last eight deliveries, and with Nigar Sultana unbeaten on 38, it appeared Bangladesh would win and level the three-match series. That was when the sensational tumble was triggered, the last five wickets falling in the eight deliveries left, with no run added. Bangladesh were 87 all out, handing India an unassailable 2-0 series lead.
It started with Deepti Sharma getting the set Sultana stumped by Yastika Bhatia. Facing 55 balls and hitting just two fours in the only batter to touch double figures India though conceded 15 widesthe dismissal could not have come at a more crucial time. Deepti finished with 3/12 and Shafali, warming up as a useful off-break bowler herself, snapped up three in the final over, which saw four wickets fall. Needing 10 to win, Nahida Akter attempted a second run after playing to midwicket, but Amanjot Kaur's throw to Shafali caught Rabeya Khan short.
