Richa Ghosh Stars As India Beat Bangladesh In Women's T20 WC Warm-Up Game
Richa Ghosh smashed an attacking unbeaten 91 as India defeated Bangladesh by 52 runs in a warm-up match ahead of the Women's T20 World Cup on Wednesday. Opting to bat, India made an imposing 183 for 5 riding on Ghosh's exploits with the bat and then restricted Bangladesh to 131 for 8. Coming on to bat at No 4, Ghosh's knock came off just 56 balls with the help of three boundaries and nine hits over the fence. Besides Ghosh, Jemimah Rodrigues made a fluent 27-ball 41 during which she hit six fours and a six.
India, however, did not have the best of starts, losing three wickets for 35 runs with Yastika Bhatia (10), U-19 T20 World Cup-winning team skipper Shafali Verma (9) and Harleen Deol (10) all departing cheaply.
Ghosh then took the attack to the opposition along with Rodrigues, adding quick 92 runs for the fourth wicket to lay the platform for India's imposing total.
Left-arm spinner Nahida Akter picked up two wickets for Bangladesh.
In reply, Bangladesh kept losing wickets at regular intervals and never looked to be in the hunt.
Captain Nigar Sultana top-scored with a 36-ball 40, while opener Murshida Khatun made 32.
Leg-break bowler Devika Vaidya (2/21) scalped two wickets for India, while Shafali (1/13), Radha Yadav (1/17), Deepti Sharma (1/15), Rajeshwari Gayakwad (1/20) and Anjali Sarvani (1/22) picked up a wicket each.
The Women's T20 World Cup begins in Cape Town on Friday and India will open their campaign against arch-rivals Pakistan on Sunday.

Australia Could Win Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2-1: Former South African Star
Playing at home, India will go into the Border-Gavaskar Trophy as favourites but former South African star JP Duminy says Australia could trump the hosts 2-1 in the much anticipated Test rubber. India will be without two of its key players in Rishabh Pant and Jasprit Bumrah, but premier all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja will be back to the action after a knee surgery. The Test series will begin on Thursday in Nagpur.
"I see it as a very close series, but I genuinely think that Australia stand a good chance. They certainly have been the team to beat," Duminy said during a virtual interaction, facilitated by SA T20, where he coaches Paarl Royals team.
"I feel it would be 2-1 to Australia and for me the Player-of-The-Series would be Usman Khawaja," he said of the Australian left-hander, who hit a career-best unbeaten 195 against South Africa in Sydney Test in January.
Duminy was quick to add that one can never "write off" India in their home conditions. "You think about (Ravichandran) Ashwin who has a prolific Test record in India, he's probably going to be the key for them." "When it comes to Test cricket, you have got to utilise your resources. Guys like (Cheteshwar) Pujara, Virat Kohli who are prolific in Test cricket. They churn out runs after runs. It's an opportunity for those guys to step up.
India's 'Mr 360', Suryakumar Yadav has been in sensational form in T20 format and is part of the Test squad.
Asked whether he's primed for a Test debut, Duminy said: "Probably he's one of the most exciting players for India right now. From the way Test cricket is going, as a country you need to decide what is the line of cricket you would be playing. And if it's of the attacking mindset, then he becomes an option, certainly." There has already been a debate over whether India play to their strength and prepare rank-turners for the upcoming four-Test series. Duminy feels it's absolutely fair to play to your advantage.
"That's the beauty of having a home series. You have the opportunity to play to your advantage. Why would you not. It would be silly to think that you would not want to utilise that (rank-turners) in your favour.
"I certainly see that will be the case in the series. Whenever you travel to the Sub-continent that's always something you face. You need to be able to prepare for that. If you want to be the best in the world, you have to be able to perform in all conditions," he asserted.
Pandya can become a great player for India across formats
Ace India all-rounder Hardik Pandya is seen as a white-ball maverick but Duminy sees no reason why Pandya cannot become an all-format player? "I'm always going to advocate all formats if the player has the ability to influence the game. I've played with him as well, and I think he has the ability to be a great player for India across all formats. I would certainly encourage him to do (play) all formats."

Shares Of Adani Enterprises Jump Nearly 15 Per Cent
Shares of Adani group companies ended on a mixed note on Tuesday, with flagship Adani Enterprises rising nearly 15 per cent.
The combined market valuation of the group's ten listed companies has eroded by around Rs 9.2 lakh crore in the last 10 trading sessions starting from January 24, the day when the US-based short-seller Hindenburg Research came out with its adverse report.
Six of the group companies ended in the positive territory on Tuesday. Adani Enterprises zoomed 14.63 per cent to settle at Rs 1,802.50 apiece while Adani Wilmar jumped 5 per cent to end at Rs 399.40 per share on the BSE.
Shares of Adani Ports & Special Economic Zone closed at Rs 553.30, Ambuja Cements at Rs 383.70, ACC at Rs 1,995.50 and NDTV at Rs 216.95. They all settled with more than 1 per cent gains.
Manish Chowdhury, Head of Research at brokerage Stoxbox, said that following a dismal market performance of Adani Group stocks over the last few days, there has been a minor pullback in these stocks, especially Adani Enterprises, Adani Ports, Adani Wilmar, Ambuja Cements and ACC.
"The other Adani group stocks continued to be under pressure which resulted in minor improvement in the overall market capitalisation. The Adani group stocks (including Ambuja, ACC and NDTV) have lost around Rs 9.2 lakh crore or about 48 per cent of their combined market capitalisation in the last ten trading sessions (from 24 January to 7 February 2023)," he said.
On Tuesday, four of the Adani group companies closed in the red. Adani Power, Adani Green Energy and Adani Total Gas tanked 5 per cent each while Adani Transmission fell 0.77 per cent to settle at Rs 1,251.70.
Adani Power ended the day at Rs 173.35, Adani Green Energy at Rs 843.20 and Adani Total Gas at Rs 1,467.50. These three shares closed at their lower price bands on the BSE.
Deepak Jasani, Head of Retail Research at HDFC Securities said Adani group stocks had a mixed day amidst results from Ambuja Cements, Adani Green and Adani Ports and heated discussion in the Parliament on the group.
"Adani Enterprises rose sharply recovering part of the sharp losses seen in the previous week. Adani Green, Adani Power and Adani Total Gas closed at lower circuits with the first two reversing from gains early in the day suggesting fresh selling pressure at every rise in these stocks," he noted.
Adani group, on Monday, said the promoters will pre-pay USD 1,114 million for the release of pledged shares of its firms ahead of the maturity in September 2024.
These shares belong to Adani Ports & Special Economic Zones, Adani Green Energy and Adani Transmission.
The 30-share BSE Sensex benchmark ended 220.86 points or 0.37 per cent lower at 60,286.04 points on Tuesday.

Air India's 3 Domestic Destinations To Be Operated By AirAsia India
Full service airline Air India on Tuesday said three of its domestic destinations will now be operated by the budget carrier AirAsia India as part of the route network rationalisation plan.
AirAsia India, which currently operates 19 domestic destinations, became a fully owned subsidiary of Tata Group last November. The group has already announced its merger with Air India subsidiary Air India Express to create a low-cost airline.
In the current phase, three stations -- Bhubaneswar, Bagdogra and Surat -- will now be served by AirAsia India, instead of Air India.
At the same time, flight services on Delhi-Visakhapatnam and Mumbai-Lucknow routes will be operated exclusively by Air India, the airline said.
In all cases, the flight frequency remains the same, it added Additionally, Air India will enhance connections from Delhi and/or Mumbai to Cochin, Trivandrum, Visakhapatnam and Nagpur to enable seamless, two-way domestic-international connectivity with long-haul international flights operating from the two metros.
The airline said it will also increase frequencies between Delhi and Chennai, Hyderabad and Bengaluru, Mumbai and Chennai, and Kolkata and Bengaluru, starting from February 13, 2023.

Indian Batters Disappoint As Australia Win In Women's T20 WC Warm-up Game
Batting let India down once again as they collapsed like a pack of cards to suffer a 44-run loss to Australia in a low-scoring Women's T20 World Cup warm-up match in Cape Town on Monday. Asked to field, the Indian bowlers blew away the Australian top order but tail-enders Georgia Wareham (32) and Jess Jonassen's (22) unbeaten 50-run partnership powered Australia to 129 for 8. In reply, the Indian batters were skittled out for 85 in 15 overs.
It was the second consecutive time that batting has let down India. The 'Women in Blue' had suffered a similar collapse in the Tri-Series final last week against South Africa. Pacer Darcie Brown (4/17) was the wrecker-in-chief as she cleaned up the Indian top order, taking the vital scalps of Shafali Verma (2), Smriti Mandhana (0) and Richa Ghosh (5).
The woeful run of Jemimah Rodrigues, who opened the innings alongside Shafali, continued as she was out on nought while skipper Harmanpreet Kaur did not bat.
Harleen Doel (12) showed some intent, hitting two fours before succumbing to a run out while Deepti Sharma was the top scorer as the all-rounder remained unbeaten on 19. She could have taken India over the line had someone stayed with her till the end.
Earlier, veteran pacer Shikha Pandey (2/9) struck in her first two overs to send Australia skipper Meg Lanning (0) and Tahlia McGrath (2) packing.
A run out by Radha Yadav spelt the end of Ellyse Perry (1) as Australia were reeling at 10 for 3. Ash Gardner (22) and Beth Mooney (28) provided some resistance but Pooja Vastrakar (2/16) and Radha Yadav (2/22) ran through the middle order.
Renuka Singh, who had an off day, was the most expensive bowler for India, giving away 39 runs in three overs.
But the Indians couldn't break the partnership between Wareham and Jonassen who shared five fours and three sixes between them.
