India Women score 156 runs for the loss of 5 wickets in their 5th T20I match against Bangladesh.
The final T20I between India Women and Bangladesh was an exciting match filled with late fireworks provided by Richa Ghosh. She played a fantastic unbeaten knock of 28 runs, including three sixes and a four, in just 17 balls. Her contribution was crucial in helping India reach a total of 156 for five at Sylhet on Thursday.

Before Ghosh's explosive performance, it was Dayalan Hemalatha and skipper Harmanpreet Kaur who laid a solid foundation for India with their 60-run partnership for the third wicket. This partnership proved to be crucial in providing stability to the team's innings.

India, who already had a 4-0 lead in the five-match series, also registered the highest total of the series so far. The opening batter Smriti Mandhana set the tone early on with her quick 33 runs off just 25 balls, which included four boundaries and a six.

However, it was Ghosh's knock that stole the show. Despite losing three quick wickets, including two to Rabeya Khan in one over, Ghosh ensured that India remained on top at the halfway mark.

The opening pair of Shafali Verma and Mandhana added 25 runs for the first wicket, while Mandhana and Hemalatha added another 37 runs for the second wicket. Mandhana was looking set for a big score, but she fell victim to a controversial leg-before decision by Nahida Akter in the eighth over. The on-field umpire's decision stayed as there was no DRS available in the series.

Hemalatha, who was dropped on 1 by Fariha Trisna, found her rhythm and struck two sixes and two fours in her 23-ball innings. Meanwhile, Harmanpreet also looked in great form, scoring a handy 30 runs off 24 balls with four boundaries.

Overall, it was a dominant performance by India, who now have a firm grip on the match. With their highest total in the series so far, they are in a strong position to secure a clean sweep against Bangladesh.
