4:51 PM local time (1:21 PM IST): India win by 114 runs with 26 balls to spare! 

Shafali Verma 100* (49) | Deepti Sharma - 3/7 (2.4)
Dilara Akter 27 (23) | Sanjida Akter Meghla - 1/25 (4)

Into the final without breaking a sweat! They had to take 19.5 overs to bowl Japan out in the quarter-final, they took only 15.4 overs to bundle Bangladesh out in this, the second semi-final, and sail through to the gold medal match! 

Dilara Akter, Sharmin Akhter and Sultana Khatun were the only ones to register double-digit scores, but the highest was only 27, which goes to show, how tough they found things out in the middle against the Indian bowling. 

Nandani Sharma managed to take 3 wickets, with two in two balls in her second spell. Deepti Sharma, as always, was amongst the wickets. She too got 3. Kranti Gaud and Shreyanka took a wicket apiece and Shree Charani got the other 2 wickets, to round off a superb bowling display! 

But the fielding from India, was exceptional! It was led by an outstanding, one-handed return catch by Nandani! It was a clinical display from the entire team to pick up a dominating win. 

15.4 Deepti Sharma to Sanjida Akter Meghla, BANGLADESH ARE ALL OUT! INDIA ARE IN THE FINAL! Full and slow on off-and-middle. Sanjida tried to go well over the in-field there, but didn't quite connect. Kamalini ran in front long-on and managed to hold on to the catch without any problem. With that, India's march towards the gold medal well and truly continues, and reaches the final hurdle! 

15.2 Deepti Sharma to Marufa Akter, GOT HER! Flat and on the fuller side of good length, on middle-and-leg. Marufa went right back and played all around it. The ball rapped her in line, and the umpire decided to go with the LBW appeal and give her out. 

15.1 Deepti Sharma to Marufa Akter, good length and slow on off. Turned around off the back foot to forward short-leg now, no run. 

Deepti Sharma [2.0-0-7-1] comes back into the attack.

14.6 Shreyanka Patil to Marufa Akter, OH HO! THAT WAS A TOUGH CHANCE! Length ball on middle. Heaved across the line from down on one knee to mid-wicket. Radha Yadav jumped, got some fingers to it, but couldn't cling on! One run to deep mid-wicket. 

14.5 Shreyanka Patil to Marufa Akter, round the wicket, good length and flat on the pads. Tucked around off the back foot to short fine again. Dot ball. 

14.4 Shreyanka Patil to Marufa Akter, FOUR MORE! On the fuller side of good length on off. Swept hard with the turn to the deep square-leg area, for a boundary.

14.1 Shreyanka Patil to Sultana Khatun, FIVE WIDES! Good length and turning away down the leg-side. The ball beat everyone and everything, to run away down to fine-leg! 

Shreyanka Patil [2.0-0-7-1] comes back into the attack.
