Team India continued their domination over Bangladesh in the Women’s T20I series as they defeated the hosts in the fifth and final T20I to register a clean sweep. Despite posting 156/5 on the scoreboard, India produced a top-class show, especially by their bowlers as the home team could only reach 135/6, losing the contest by 21 runs.
