Bangladesh Women vs Indonesia Women, Match 4, Group B, Women's Asia Cup 2026 - CommentaryBANW vs IDNW, Match 4, Group B, Women's Asia Cup 2026 - Commentary

There was no post-match interview with the Player of the Match, Nahida, today. We are not sure if the language barrier had anything to do with it, so we will leave that one there. That will be all from this game. Pakistan will be in action tomorrow, taking on Thailand, who have already made a winning start to their campaign with a victory over Hong Kong, China. Do remember to join us for that one. Cheers and goodbye!!

Nigar Sultana | Bangladesh skipper: [On Bangladesh opening their campaign with a big win and the batting performance] I think there are a lot of areas that we could have done better as a batting unit, but still it's a new game, and we have to adapt a lot of things. And the way actually Shorna finished the innings, I was pretty happy about it. [On Bangladesh's strong spin attack and areas for improvement] I guess we need to bowl more right areas in the next game because today maybe somehow we go through this, I don't think with a good quality opposition we will be able to do that. So I think we do have some time before the game, so we'll definitely talk about it and we'll rectify our mistakes. [On the team's goals after coming into the tournament] See, we played our last few Asia Cups. It didn't go our way. We just played the semi-final and went to the warm-ups. So we really wanted to go through that path this time, and I think our team has that possibility, and we just need to be focused and we have to play our A game.

Ni Putu Ayu Nanda Sakarini | Indonesia skipper: [On the emotions of playing on the bigger stage] Yeah, I think we did everything all right in our bowling side. The bowlers did the best of the job, and for the batting side, we need to be ruthless against a big team. [On the team's feelings after making it to the bigger stage] Of course, we feel very happy to be here. I think we deserve to be here, and for the next, hopefully we will give the best. [On the positives to take from the game] I think the fight from the girls, the excitement from the girls. So we hope in the next game we will give the same.

21:33 local, 17:33 GMT, 23:03 IST: Indonesia have been bowled out for the lowest total of this edition of the Asia Cup. Their openers showed plenty of promise early on, but found it difficult to cope with the quality of Marufa Akter, who struck twice inside the powerplay to break the initial resistance. From there, Bangladesh took complete control. Their spinners were relentless, hitting the right areas consistently and picking up wickets at regular intervals, leaving Indonesia with no room to build any momentum. Some poor judgement while running between the wickets only added to their troubles, and the innings quickly unravelled. Ultimately, Indonesia were blown away, with only one batter managing to reach double figures. Stick around for the post-match reactions...
