Following a crushing defeat in the first ODI, India Women are gearing up for the second one-day match against Bangladesh Women at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur on Wednesday, July 19. Speaking about the first ODI, Harmanpreet Kaur-led team India got off to a dominating start with the ball, restricting Bangladesh to a paltry score of 152 runs.

Notably, debutant Amanjot Kaur dazzled with the ball as she claimed a four-wicket haul for 31 runs in her nine overs. However, Bangladesh clawed their way back into the contest as the bowling attack operated in tandem to rip through the Indian batting line-up. Restricting India to a meagre 113 runs, Bangladesh won by 40 runs in a rain-shortened clash.

Team India will be gunning to get back on level terms whereas the home side will be hoping to take an unassailable lead in the three-match series. With the second ODI set to be played on July 19, we take a look at the three bowlers to watch out for from Bangladesh-

3. Sultana Khatun

The 27-year-old off-spinner played an instrumental role in Bangladesh’s win in the first ODI as she was quite economical with the ball. In her eight overs, Sultana Khatun claimed a wicket for just 20 runs at a stunning economy of 2.50, which also included a maiden over. Unable to target her in the first match, the Indian batting line-up will look to play her delicately in the forthcoming contest.

2. Rabeya Khan

The young leggie was at her lethal best in her 7.5 overs wherein she gave mere 30 runs and picked up three wickets, maintaining an economy of 3.82. She will look maintain her fine form and play yet another vital innings with the ball in the second contest.

1. Marufa Akter

Marufa Akter’s magnificent four-wicket haul in the previous clash, comfortably helped Bangladesh win the contest. The pacer has the  potential to get the breakthroughs on a consistent basis and will be hungry for the scalps in the second ODI in order to help Bangladesh extend their lead.
