16:50 Local Time, 07:50 GMT, 13:20 IST: India have confirmed a medal in the women's cricket event, will it be gold / silver? On the back of what they've done over the past few weeks, you'd think they'll start as firm favourites against Sri Lanka, a rematch of the 2024 Hangzhou Games as well as the Asia Cup final more recently. 196 was always going to be a difficult chase, but Bangladesh never got going. They kept losing wickets in clusters, hardly found the boundaries and didn't make India sweat one bit. Dilara Akter, the opener, top-scored with 27, but wickets kept falling all around her. Everyone who bowled took at least one wicket - a strong performance for the Indian team, who are now through to the summit clash. Can Sri Lanka give them a fight in the gold medal game? We'll be back on the 22nd for the medal matches. Bangladesh take on Pakistan for the bronze medal and the women's games will later conclude with the final. Join us for all the action. For now, cheers and bye..

Deepti Sharma to Shanjida Akter Meghla, out Caught by Gunalan Kamalini!! A simple catch to long-on and India are through to the final of the Women's competition. Was nicely tossed up by Deepti and Shanjida couldn't resist going for the big hit - doesn't get the elevation nor the distance - it's straight down Kamalini's throat and she doesn't drop those. Shanjida Akter Meghla c Gunalan Kamalini b Deepti Sharma 0(2)
Deepti Sharma to Shanjida Akter Meghla, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

Deepti Sharma to Marufa Akter, out Lbw!! A big shout for LBW, was it heading down leg? The umpire though reckons it's hitting the stumps and up goes the finger. Was pushed through quicker and drifted back into the right-hander - a cross-seam delivery and Marufa was pinned on the back-foot. The impact was in front of leg and I think it was heading down leg. Doesn't matter in the contest of this match though as Bangladesh lose their 9th wicket. Marufa Akter lbw b Deepti Sharma 5(10) [4s-1]
Deepti Sharma to Marufa Akter, THATS OUT!! Lbw!!
