Bangladesh have been named for batting early in the toss at the Sheikh Kamal International Cricket Stadium in Cox's Bazar on Friday (October 8). But with the batter's failure, the hosts were able to score just five runs in front of India.
Nigar Sultana and Fahima Khatun were the top scorers for Bangladesh. Apart from these two experienced batters, only two points have been seen in Murshida Khatun and Farzana Haque. Both of them came from the bat and scored 4 runs.
India's Ms. Divyadarshini and TP Kanwar took three wickets each. And the Tanushree government took two.
The answer was that the Indians were quite startled. The hosts have to wait until the ninth over to see the first wicket. Romana broke the opening pair by returning to S. Meghana. Sheila Sharmin stopped Devika Vidya soon after.
Nozhat Parveen reached the winning address in the third wicket with Tanusri. The opener's unbeaten 5-run innings was set to four. Apart from this, Tanushree's 20 runs came from the bat. Indian women win the match with 5 balls remaining.
