Pacer Renuka Singh’s three-wicket burst followed by Smriti Mandhana’s brisk unbeaten fifty helped defending champions India wallop Bangladesh by 10 wickets and march into their record ninth women’s Asia Cup final here on Friday.

India will take on Sri Lanka in the final on Sunday.

Shafali (26 not out) and Mandhana (55 not out off 39 balls) were on song from the outset as India overhauled the target of 81 without breaking a sweat.

India ended up at 83/0 in 11 overs. Mandhana and Shafali’s knocks were filled with trademark shots around the ground as India motored to 46/0 in the Powerplay.

Shafali, who was dropped on 21 off Rabeya Khan, played those powerful heaves across the line to find the fence. Mandhana, at the other end, unfurled those exquisite drives on the off-side.

Earlier, Bangladesh were limited 80/8. Renuka (3/10) upfront and left-arm spinner Radha Yadav in the middle overs (3/14) rattled Bangladesh with excellent spells.

Bangladesh hardly recovered from the deep wounds inflicted by Renuka in the first six overs.

Renuka, who bowled four overs on the trot during her 3/10 spell, received ample support from left-arm spinner Radha Yadav (3/14) after Bangladesh elected to bat first. Renuka struck in the first over itself, dismissing Dilara Akter, whose slog sweep did not have enough power in it to clear Uma Chetry at deep mid-wicket.

In her next over, Renuka got the better of Ishma Tanjim with a delivery that stayed close to her body and a mistimed whip across the line was grabbed by Tanuja Kanwar at short third.

Renuka bagged her third wicket in as many overs with a slightly short of length delivery that Murshida Khatun slapped straight to Shafali at midwicket.

At 25 for three inside the Powerplay, Bangladesh were falling apart fast and their real hope for a revival was the presence of skipper Nigar Sultana (32 off 51 balls). But she hardly received any support at the other end.

Brief scores: Bangladesh 80/8 in 20 (Renuka Singh 3/10, Radha Yadav 3/14). India 83/0 in 11 (Smriti Mandhana 55 not out, Shafali Verma 26 not out). India won by 10 wkts.
