India's fielders dropped two crucial catches inside the first four overs against Bangladesh. The fielding disaster began on the fifth ball of the third over, delivered by Shree Charani. Opener Juairiya Ferdous miscued a sweep shot, but wicketkeeper Yastika Bhatia spilt the low, diving chance as she sprinted in from short fine leg.The second reprieve came at the end of the fourth over, also bowled by Shree Charani. Juairiya Ferdous hit a high, mis-timed aerial shot toward deep mid-wicket. Radha Yadav settled cleanly underneath the ball for what should have been a regulation catch but shockingly grassed the sitter. These early errors completely unraveled India's powerplay discipline.

India's third and fourth dropped catches occurred in rapid succession during the fifth over, both bowled by left-arm spinner Sree Charani.On the third ball of the over, Bangladesh’s Sobhana Mostary drove a full delivery hard toward cover. Nandni Sharma moved swiftly to her left and dived, getting both hands to the ball, but failed to secure the catch.Just two deliveries later, the fourth error unfolded. Opening batter Juairiya Ferdous attempted a slog sweep, sending a high top-edge flying toward short third. Nandni Sharma covered the ground rapidly and threw herself into another dive, but the ball once again slipped out of her grasp. These back-to-back blunders by the same fielder left the bowler frustrated and rounded out a chaotic, record-breaking powerplay for India.
