  • Poor performance of Indian Women’s Cricket Team
  • A poor game against Bangladesh
  • 3 catches off 4 balls in Powerplay

of 2026 Women’s T20 World Cup The Indian team’s fielding has been disappointing in the tournament. This poor fielding continued in the match against Bangladesh as well. Bangladesh won the toss and elected to bat first at Old Trafford in Manchester. The Indian team conceded four lives to the Bangladesh batsmen in the powerplay itself, including three catches in four balls. This time, it has come to light that the Indian women’s team has done very poor fielding in the T20 World Cup matches. Even though today’s match is a ‘do or die’ situation, the game played in this manner is very disappointing and the fans are also upset.

The Indian players kept making one mistake after another

Indian The first mistake by the women’s team came in the third over of Bangladesh’s innings. Yastika Bhatia drops the catch of Juwairia Firdaus. Shri Charani was bowling that over. Yastika had a chance to take a catch to the square leg bowlers. On the last ball of the fourth over, the ball slipped from Radha Yadav’s hands and went for four. This catch was also taken by Juwairia Firdous.

Nandini Sharma dropped two consecutive catches

The Bangladeshi batsmen also got life on the second and third balls of the fifth over. Nandini Sharma gave life to Sobhana Mostari off the bowling of Sri Charani. The ball went straight to Nandini at cover, but she couldn’t catch it. On the very next ball, skipper Harmanpreet Kaur sent Nandini over cover towards short third man. The catch was dropped on the very next ball and Nandini’s catch was dropped once again.

Unwanted record of Indian team

There have been three or more catches in the powerplay only twice so far in this Women’s T20 World Cup. Both times the Indian team dropped the catch. In the match against Pakistan, the Indian fielders had dropped three catches in the first six overs. A total of four catches were missed in this match. Only once before in the history of women’s T20 cricket has a team conceded four catches in the powerplay. Bangladesh dropped four catches in the powerplay against Sri Lanka in April this year.
