That's all from our side for this game. See you soon.

Harmanpreet Kaur, the Player of the Match: It was a great team effort. The bowlers, especially the young girls, bowled really well. I wanted to see how they are going to bowl in the first six overs, I think both of them understood the conditions very early. Apart from them, Deepti too bowled well. She has an experienced bowler and she showed that today. [On Mandhana] She is always ready to give her 100% for the team and she showed her character today as well. When you have batters like Smriti and Shafali, you need not worry too much. We wanted to finish four-five overs early and I am really happy we were able to do that.

Nigar Sultana: I think we were short by 20-25 runs on this kind of wicket. We started very well but in the middle we faced a lot of dot balls. We need to work on that.

Time for the presentation ceremony.

4.49pm An easy win in the end for India. After winning the toss, they restricted Bangladesh to a below-par 114. And then Harmanpreet Kaur showed how to bat on a slow wicket, while others mostly struggled. She was dropped on 24, and made full use of the reprieve to finish unbeaten on 54 off 35, sealing a seven-wicket win for India with 22 balls to spare. Mandhana supported her with 38 off 34 even though she seemed to be struggling with the timing at times, mainly because of the slowness of the surface.
