  1. Ban 73-3published at 20 overs

    Sharmin 27, Mostary 14

    With pressure mouting, Sharmin Akhter Supta tries to sweep Shree Charani's 18th over but misses completely and the ball hits her pad.

    India captain Harmanpreet Kaur wants a review but it's umpire's call with the ball clipping the leg stump, so Sharmin survives.

    New batter Sobhana Mostary has timed her shots well so far, hitting boundaries in back-to-back overs to swiftly move into double figures.

    Seven overs left of this innings now.

    Joty run out Yadav 9 (Ban 53-3)

    Some brilliant bit of fielding from Radha Yadav to end Bangladesh captain Nigar Sultana Joty's innings.

    Yadav collects the the ball at point, sees Joty out of her crease at the non-striker's end and takes the bails off with a direct hit!

    Sue Redfern sends it upstairs and replays confirm Joty has not made ground in time.

    Sharmin 22, Joty 6

    A huge mix-up between Nigar Sultana Joty and Sharmin Akhter Supta almost costs Bangladesh a third wicket.

    But Sree Charani tumbles the throw from Jemimah Rodrigues with both batters stranded at the same end and passes up an easy run out chance.

    Bangladesh look happy to be getting their runs in singles after the restart.

    So we are back under way, finally!

    Sree Charani will continue with her second over, that was interrupted by the rain more than two hours ago.

    It means Bangladesh will have 14.4 overs remaining to set India a target, which will be adjusted via DLS.

    The covers have not full come off at the DY Patil Stadium as rain continues to fall steadily.

    The umpires are now seen talking to the India and Bangladesh captains but we are not really sure what has been communicated.

    The ground staff are back on the field and taking some covers off as the intensity of the rain has reduced considerably now.

    But 21:05 local time (15:35 GMT) is the cut-off for a 20-overs-per-side contest to happen.

    So let's hope we don't have any more rains in Navi Mumbai.

    The rain doesn't look like relenting here as we continue to lose overs in this final group stage fixture.

    Reminder that we will need at least a 20-overs-per-side game for a result today.

    We have only had 12.2 overs of play today but that was time enough to see the fall of two Bangladeshi wickets.

    And the first of those came very early as Renuka Singh Thakur sent Bangladesh opener Sumaiya Akter back to the dugout in the opening over.

    You can have a watch of that dismissal here as rain continues to fall in Navi Mumbai.

    The players have retreated to the dugout and most of the ground is now under the covers.

    It is pouring at DY Patil Stadium and the forecast suggests rain for the next couple of hours too, so it's not looking great!

    As always, we will keep you posted with any updates as soon as they come in.

    Jhelik c Deol b Sharma 13 (Ban 34-2)

    Sharmin Akter Supta sends the ball to rope twice in the final over the powerplay in this 43 overs per side game and it was looking like Bangladesh were starting to build a steady partnership.

    But it all comes crashing down in the following over as Rubya Haider Jhelik gets a leading edge off Deepti Sharma and Harleen Deol pounces at mid-off.

    It brings Bangladesh captain Nigar Sultana Joty to the crease.

    India pacer Renuka Singh Thakur has already tested the Bangladesh batters with a couple of sharp deliveries striking the pads.

    At the other end, Deepti Sharma is maintaining a stranglehold with her spin, piling more pressure on the batting side.

    Sumaiya Akter and Rubya Haider Jhelik will open the batting for Bangladesh, who will look to finish their World Cup campaign on a bright note.

    And Renuka Singh Thakur has the ball in hand in still overcast conditions in Navi Mumbai.

    Both sets of players are on the field for the national anthems.

    We have had to wait a while, but we are fast approaching the start of the action in Navi Mumbai.
