The first semi-finals of the 2024 Women’s Asia Cup T20 tournament are set to pit Bangladesh against India. The two sides have had a storied rivalry in recent times with the Indian side coming out on top on most occasions. Out of the total 8 Asia Cup tournaments held, India has won it on most occasions with Bangladesh winning once.
The first Semi-final of the Asia Cup 2024 will be a huge challenge for the Bangladeshi side. It comes against an Indian team that is yet to lose a game and has outplayed their opposition in all three games.
Bangladesh, too, are in good form, having convincingly won their last two matches. After the loss to Sri Lanka, the Bangladeshi Eves have done well with the bat and ball and picked up their performances.
Here are the top 3 Bangladeshi players to watch out for
3. Nahida Akter

Bangladeshi spinner Nahida Akter has been in terrific form with the ball during the tournament. Nahida Akter has picked wickets at regular intervals and has been one of the most economical bowlers for her side. Nahida Akter will play a key role against India and look to use the spin-friendly conditions and use it to the best of her talents. The Indian batters too will be wary of the Bangladeshi spin ace and her ability as potential threat.
2. Murshida Khatun

Young Murshida Khatun has been one of the best Bangladeshi batters and her knock in the last game was pivotal in her side’s win. Khatun scored 80 runs from 59 balls and was one of the best batters for her side. Murshida Khatun can play the long innings and can play pace and spin with equal ease.
1. Nigar Sultana

The onus of helping Bangladesh to try and win against India will fall on the shoulders of their captain Nigar Sultana. Being one of the most experienced players, Nigar Sultana will not only be looked to lead the side well but also score runs. Her record in recent times has shown that she has been in good form with the bat and can be a dangerous player to contend with for the Indian side.
