Rain Abandons India–Bangladesh, Disrupts World Cup

Heavy rain at the Dr DY Patil Sports Academy in Navi Mumbai forced the India vs Bangladesh Women’s World Cup group match to be abandoned as a no-result after a reduced contest. Bangladesh were limited to 119 for 9 in 27 overs (Sharmin Akhter 36), while Radha Yadav and Shree Charani led India’s bowling; India were 57 without loss (Smriti Mandhana 34*, Amanjot Kaur 15*) chasing a revised target of 126 when play was called off. India also lost opener Pratika Rawal to an ankle injury while fielding, raising concerns ahead of the knockouts. The washout left India fourth in the table with seven points and a net run rate of +0.628 (three wins, three defeats and the abandoned game). The tournament has been repeatedly affected by rain, with other group fixtures such as Sri Lanka vs Pakistan in Colombo also abandoned.
