INDW vs BANW, 23rd Match, Group A, ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026

And I think the way we actually bowled in the last game, we couldn’t bowl. [On whether 136 was a satisfactory total at the halfway stage] We were short of 15 to 20 runs. And we had a massive opportunity to do well here, but I think I’m really proud of the way we actually played. [On what it would mean to play at Lord’s in the final game] I guess this is a good opportunity for us because being there is a good for the team. We really wanted to create some good memories there and we are looking for the last game.

Nigar Sultana | Bangladesh skipper [On the crucial phases Bangladesh would have liked to improve after staying in the fight against India] See, we have created a lot of chances in the middle, especially in the bowling, so we couldn’t grab them. So they take this game away from us. And I think the way we actually bowled in the last game, we couldn’t bowl. [On whether 136 was a satisfactory total at the halfway stage] We were short of 15 to 20 runs. And we had a good start in the powerplay, but we couldn’t carry on in the middle and the last few overs of the innings. I think what we should accelerate on that time, so couldn’t capitalize ourselves. [On the message to the team when India still needed runs and Bangladesh remained in the contest] We are talking about like anything can happen anytime. So just be positive and try to bowl in the right areas and try to be so calm. If it is the opportunity to come, you have to grab it. So somehow I think we lost the momentum and they played really well. [On Bangladesh’s progress during their first international tour of England] See, it’s not about success every time. I think the way this whole unit actually growing day by day and a lot of young players come up each and every game individually. So it is a kind of a success for me, but still we are here to win. And we had a massive opportunity to do well here, but I think I’m really proud of the way we actually played. [On what it would mean to play at Lord’s in the final game] I guess this is a good opportunity for us because being there is a good for the team. We really wanted to create some good memories there and we are looking for the last game.
