Shafali Verma hit her first T20I fifty since March 2021 and picked two wickets with her off-spin while stand-in captain Smriti Mandhana came out all guns blazing to set up India's 59-run thrashing of hosts and defending champions Bangladesh in Women's Asia Cup at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium on Saturday.

Electing to bat first, Shafali (55) and Smriti (47) shared a 96-run stand for the first wicket in 12 overs. Though Bangladesh made a fightback by taking out the duo and took some scalps in the end, Jemimah Rodrigues ensured India didn't throw away the momentum brought in by the openers with an unbeaten 35 off 24 balls.
