WATCH: Comedy of errors in Bangladesh vs India T20I as batter forgets to get back to crease
During the IND-W vs BAN-W 3rd T20I earlier today (May 2), the spectators were left astounded after a moment of massive faux pas from a BAN-W batter and the Indian fielders. The India and Bangladesh eves are currently locked horns in a five-match T20I series, which the Harmanpreet-led side is dominating.
With a win today, India has now taken an unassailable 3-0 lead in the series.
However, during Bangladesh's innings, what transpired in the middle was nothing short of comical.
During the fifth over, Bangladesh batter Dilara Akter decided to steal a leg bye off Pooja Vastrakar's bowling.
Dilara contemplated taking a second run when she dropped her bat well outside the non-striker's end.

To the amusement of the commentators, the Bangladeshi opener forgot to get back to the crease which created an opportunity for Vastrakar and fielder Shreyanka Patil to attempt a runout. However, Pooja's slip while retrieving the ball and Shreyanka's miss on the stumps led to a moment of confusion before Dilara hurried back to her position.
Speaking about the match, India's bowlers dished out a disciplined performance to curb Bangladesh to a paltry score of 117/8 in 20 overs, which the visitors eventually chased down with nine balls to spare.
When India came out for the chase, openers Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma got them off to a flying start, putting up a 91-run partnership in just 12 overs to inch India closer to a series win.
Shafali eventually got out after a deft knock of 38-ball 51 comprising eight fours while Mandhana found form as she struck 47 off 42 balls with the help of five boundaries and a six.
