Asiad: Bangladesh hand China reality check

China's cricket aspirations suffered a reality check on Thursday when Bangladesh eased to a nine-wicket win in a brutally one-sided Asian Games women's semi-final.

China, who had squeezed into the last four with a one-run win over Thailand, were bowled out for just 34 in the 16th over with the home side struggling against Bangladesh's slow bowlers.

Only Sun Mengyao, with 10, managed to reach double figures while Salma Khatun, with 3-4, was the pick of the Bangladesh bowlers.

Bangladesh, who will face either Pakistan or Japan in Friday's final, eased to their target inside seven overs with Fargan Pinky finishing unbeaten on 20.
