India entered the 2nd T20I match against Bangladesh as clear favorites following their dominant win in the first T20I. Their hopes were further bolstered as Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma provided a quick start to the innings. However, the game took an unexpected turn when India lost three wickets in just five deliveries during the fifth and sixth overs. Sensing the opportunity, Bangladesh kept up the pressure and maintained a tight grip on the game, preventing India from scoring freely. Shafali Verma proved to be the game-changer by taking three wickets in the last over and conceding just one run.
