Team India defeated Bangladesh in a one-sided fashion by a huge margin of 93 points in the quarter-finals of the World Cup on Friday, January 17. Bangladeshi players could not stand at all against the Indian women's team in the quarter-finals and India won with the score of 109-16. With this the team has made it to the semi-finals.
As expected, the performance of the Indian teams in the women's and men's categories of this World Cup being played at the Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium in New Delhi was excellent. Both the teams won their respective matches on Thursday 16 January and made it to the quarter-finals. On Friday, the first quarter-final match of the women's team was played, which entered the match after defeating Malaysia by a huge margin of 80 points.
There was no hope of Bangladesh standing against the Indian team which was winning every match since the beginning of the tournament and this is what happened. Team India performed strongly in all four turns. The Indian team started with attack in Turn-1 and here completely defeated Bangladesh and scored full 50 points, while Bangladesh's account was not even opened. In the second turn, the defending Indian team scored 6 points, while the attacking Bangladeshi team could score only 8 points.
