Tough test for Tigresses

Bangladesh women's cricket team will face their biggest challenge in their T20 Asia Cup campaign when they meet pre-tournament favourites India at the Kinrara Academy Oval in Kuala Lumpur today.

After a humiliating defeat in the opening match against Sri Lanka, Bangladesh bounced back strongly to pull off their maiden T20 victory over Pakistan but the third match against India will be a tough one. India have not only topped the table in the tournament but are also favourites to become champions for the seventh successive occasion.

The Salma Khatun-led side will play their remaining games against Thailand tomorrow and against Malaysia on June 9.
