India won the second ODI against Bangladesh quite comprehensively courtesy of Jemimah’s all-round performance. With this win, India managed to level the series, with one more game to go.
Put into bat by Bangladesh, India lost their first wicket in the 4th over itself. India was quite struggling to score runs as they managed to score just 67 runs in the first 20 overs. Jemimah walked into bat with the score being just 68 with 21 overs being done. She played a sublime knock of 86 runs from just 78 balls to help India reach a total of 228 runs at the end of 50 overs.
Bangladesh lost their wickets in quite a furry as they were reduced to just 38 for 3. Fargana Hoque and Ritu Moni steadied the ship for Bangladesh, but they both got dismissed in a span of just 5 balls. Jemimah Rodrigues was the star with the ball as well, as she took 4 wickets from 3 overs while conceding just 3 runs. She completely destroyed Bangladesh’s middle and lower middle order. For her outstanding performance, Jemimah won the Player of the Match award.
“Thank you very much, Jemimah and congratulations”

An awkward moment occurred during the post-match presentation when the presenter mistakenly called Harmanpreet Kaur as Jemimah Rodrigues. Harmanpreet Kaur was quite unhappy with it, thus she instantly corrected him. The presenter was also quite embarrassed as soon as he realised what just happened.
Tweet erupted with Harmanpreet Kaur’s mic drop moment and here are a few picks:
How do they become a Presentators without knowing Name of the players 🙏

They called Yastika the vice captain during India’s batting innings. The whole broadcast has been shambles – I don’t know should we just be grateful ki broadcast was there and let this be Or should we be asking for better quality

It is such a bsic thing to know she is captain of Indian team, but can be given benefit of doubt coz in the same match Jemimah is player of the match!!

Knowing a Player’s name is the most basic thing for a cricket presentation. That too the captain of the team.
