Leg-spinner Poonam Yadav’s sensational spell helped India beat Australia by 17 runs in the tournament opener on Friday but the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side can’t afford to take Bangladesh lightly.
After all, Salma Khatun’s side are reigning Asian champions in the format, having famously beaten India twice at 2018 Asia Cup.
But, a lot has changed for both teams since then and the Tigers had to reach the World Cup via qualifying while India reached the semi-finals of the 2018 World T20.

This will be the third T20 World Cup match between them and India have won the previous two encounters, having batted first on each of those occasions.
