Bangladesh women's Under-19 suffered an eight-wicket defeat to their Indian counterparts in a Super 4 match of the ACC Women's Under-19 Asia Cup in Kuala Lumpur today.

The young Tigresses started well with an opening stand of 27 after asked to bat, but crumbled to a meagre 80 for eight in 20 overs. India's Aayushi Shukla was instrumental in dismantling the batting lineup, claiming three wickets for just nine runs.

In reply, Bangladesh's Anisha Akter struck early, taking two quick wickets to reduce India to 22 for two. However, opener Trisha Gongadi (58 not out) and Niki Prasad (22 not out) steadied the ship, ensuring a comfortable win for India with 7.5 overs to spare.

Bangladesh will look to bounce back when they face Nepal tomorrow in their second and final Super 4 fixture at the same venue.
