07:27 (IST)
OUT! Akter gets the breakthrough as Mandhana departs for 30. Mandhana was perhaps looking to break the shackles after too many dot deliveries, and went for the swivel — only to guide the ball towards backward square leg where the fielders completes a low grab.

Change of ends for Jahanara. Single to Mandhana in the second delivery after the southpaw pushes the ball towards mid off. Lovely use of the wrists by Verma next ball as she smacks a full delivery straight down the ground, beating the long off fielder running to her right to collect her second four.

06:18 (IST)
Sanjay Manjrekar and WV Raman analyse the Seddon Park surface:
SM: The pitch surprised one and all in the previous game. The ball was turning big time.
WVR: There’s the right amount of moisture in the surface. But the moisture gradually begins to reduce. There should be an absorbing contest between batters and spinners in today’s game.
06:12 (IST)
Teams:
India: Smriti Mandhana, Shafali Verma, Yastika Bhatia, Mithali Raj (c), Harmanpreet Kaur, Richa Ghosh (wk), Sneh Rana, Pooja Vastrakar, Jhulan Goswami, Rajeshwari Gayakwad, Poonam Yadav
Bangladesh: Sharmin Akhter, Murshida Khatun, Fargana Hoque, Nigar Sultana (wk/c), Rumana Ahmed, Ritu Moni, Lata Mondal, Salma Khatun, Nahida Akter, Fahima Khatun, Jahanara Alam
06:07 (IST)
Nigar Sultana Joty: We probably would’ve batted. Still I’m happy. This is a very lucky ground for all of us. We want to restrict them to a good total today. We have two changes, Murshida and Lata come in.
06:06 (IST)
Mithali Raj: The wicket is the same as the last game and we’ve seen how slow it is and turns for the spinners. It was a good game. The wicket will probably be assisting spinners. We just have one change, Poonam Yadav comes in place of Meghna Singh.
06:04 (IST)
TOSS: Team India win the toss, and skipper Mithali Raj opts to bat!
05:45 (IST)
But, India will have to win both their remaining games, especially after England showed recovery with two wins in their last two matches. India face Bangladesh on Tuesday, and should they win that one, fate will remain in their own hands heading to the last round-robin game against South Africa.
A loss to Bangladesh would mean India depend on other teams for favourable results even if they win over South Africa.
05:30 (IST)
Hello and welcome to our LIVE coverage of the Women's World Cup 2022 match between India and Bangladesh. Fate remains in India's own hands but Mithali Raj and Co face a must-win situation in this encounter. Stay tuned as we build-up towards the contest.
India vs Bangladesh, Women's World Cup 2022 match LIVE updates: Eight off the over, including a second boundary of the innings for Bhatia as she pulls a length ball from leg spinner Fahima Khatun, bowling for the first time today, over the midwicket region. Decent little partnership so far, worth 25 so far.
Preview: An inconsistent India will have no room for errors when they take on a spirited Bangladesh in their must-win ICC Women's World Cup league match on Tuesday.India's problems have compounded over the course of their campaign, which has seen them win two games and lose three, including back-to-back defeats against England and Australia.
The heavy fluctuations in the batting performance was already a concern and with the ease Australia chased down a record 278 in the previous game, the Indian bowlers also need to step up.
The bowling looked rather flat against the Aussies, who attacked and put pressure from ball one. The move to drop an extra bowling option in Deepti Sharma and bring back batter Shafali Verma also did not work.
Harmanpreet Kaur, who roared back to form with the bat, is yet to be used as an off-spinner in the competition.
It remains to be seen if Shafali will be persisted with for the crucial contest or Yastika Bhatia returns at the top to open alongside Smriti Mandhana.
One positive from the Australia game was captain Mithali Raj getting back among runs. After a couple of quiet games, Mandhana will also be expected to score big on Tuesday.
India find themselves in a tricky spot as they have not gelled as a unit so far and it is something they would have to correct against Bangladesh, who have shown a lot of promise in their maiden ODI World Cup appearance.
Bangladesh have run most of their opponents close in the four games they have played so far and that includes a memorable win over Pakistan.
