Six-time Champions, Indian Women's team are set to lock the horns with Bangladesh Women's cricket team to clinch the seventh consecutive title. Bangladesh won the toss and elected to bowl first against India Women in the final of the Women’s Asia Cup 2018 at the Kinrara Academy Oval in Kuala Lumpur on Sunday.
Bangladesh had defeated India which was their first ever defeat in any format. It was Bangladesh women’s first-ever victory against Indian Women's across all format. Bangladesh lost ten back to back T20 games against India since April 2013 prior to this match.
What an over from Poonam Yadav. She takes two wickets in consecutive deliveries and both the Bangladesh openers are back in the dug out.

10 runs from the first four balls bowled by Shikha and she seems to be in some pain at the moment. Physio is out there in the middle and Shikha walks off the field for some medical attention. Deepti to bowl the remaining two balls. #INDvBAN #AsiaCupfinal
