Indian women’s team to tour Bangladesh for five-match T20I series
The three night games will be played in the main stadium, and the two day games will be held at the outer venue. The night games will start at 6.30pm local time and day games at 2pm.
Young Jemimah Rodrigues has been the standout performer for the Indian side in the ongoing ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2018. The stylish right-handed batswoman has made a few handy contributions for the Women-in-Blue in the four matches during the group stage.
India will next take on England in the second semifinals on Friday at the Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound, Antigua. Speaking to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in an interview, Rodrigues said they were not worried about the past and were looking to stay in the present.
“We don’t talk about the past. We want to stay in the present and stay positive. Yes, we spoke about last year’s final but the focus is on the job in hand and how we can do it well,” Jemimah Rodrigues said.

Speaking about India’s unbeaten campaign in the ongoing World summit, Rodrigues said, “Harry di’s (Harmanpreet Kaur) century against New Zealand and our partnership in that match was special. Also against Pakistan we managed to put pressure in the first 6 overs and Mithali Raj’s knock stood out. Against Ireland both our batting and bowling stood out while against Australia we went full tilt and that is what has been key in the campaign.”
The ongoing tournament is also Jemimah’s first global tournament and the Mumbaikar also spoke about the big learnings.
“Not be in awe of any team in a big tournament is what I have learnt. Just want to give my best for the team. The second thing that I learnt is how to prepare for a match. If my preparation is good then it will be easy for me to execute it in the middle and that is what I have learnt in this tournament. The third thing that I have learnt is how to enjoy the game. I started playing cricket for this reason and I want to continue enjoying the sport.”
