9:06pm Time for the presentation

Nigar Sultana: "We missed a good opportunity to beat a good side. Our bowlers have done a good job but our batters disappointed. We kept the game in control after the powerplay. This kind of surface, we need to have a good partnership. Did not have a good powerplay, gave away wickets. Me and Sobhana Mostary were having a good partnership but I got out at the wrong time. She has been consistent, hope she does well in next games"

Heather Knight: "Tough out there, conditions were tough for batting and boundary-hitting. Wyatt-Hodge and Bouchier did well. We targeted 135-140, that is what we prepared for. It is not going to be beautiful or sexy in these conditions. Happy with the score it was a good total. Surface got slower and lower. Smith did well, six years after her last World Cup game. We had a look at what the surface did and what the bounce was like. Smith keeps the stumps in play with her height. We have to be adaptable. Watching the first game gave us a clue. [South Africa] had a convincing game. They are competitive and bring the fire and passion."

That is all we have for you from tonight. Do keep an eye out for the post-game stories and reactions. But don't venture too far away. Because it is the bid day tomorrow. It is India vs Pakistan day. Do join us nice and early for that tomorrow afternoon. Till then, on behalf of Chandan and Alan, this is Sudarshanan bidding you goodbye! Ciao!

8:57pm England begin their 2024 campaign with a win by defending their lowest total in T20 World Cups. On a slow track that aided spin, England's bowler proved why they are a highly-rated attack. Never for one did they let Bangladesh skip away and always maintained a leash. Not often do you see Ecclestone finish wicketless but the others more than made up for it. Smith was top-notch with her accuracy and variations, and also with her fielding. Dean also struck twice. Only Mostary managed to put up a fight but it seemed to be in a losing cause always.

Danni Wyatt-Hodge, Player of the Match: "It was nice to get out there. Delighted with the win. Pretty tough conditions. We did well to get that total. Slow and low surface, wanted to keep the intent and try to get as much runs. You are better off playing your shots and play with intent. Every game will be challenging. Important to learn from tonight"
