A decade means 10 years as a period. On the other hand, 4 as a tournament but 16 as a match. Finally, the girls of Bangladesh saw victory in the T20 World Cup.
The Niger Sultana team defeated Scotland by 16 runs in the opening match of the Women's Twenty20 World Cup held at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Thursday.
However, the collection of the Bangladesh team that won the toss and went into bat was not very big. However, the bowlers won with 119 runs for 7 wickets. Ritu Monira restricted Scotland to 103 for 7 in the run chase.
Ritu Moni put the Scots to a big test by coming out to bat with a target of 6 runs per over. The right-handed medium pacer took 2 wickets with 15 runs in 4 overs.
However, the beginning of Bangladesh's bowling success was held by Fahima Khatun. He returned Saskia Horley in the third over of the innings. Marufa Akhter sent back Catherine Bryce in the last over of the power play.
As a result, Bangladesh started taking control of Scotland's innings by picking up 2 wickets for 31 runs in the first 6 overs. Which increased later.
48 in the last five overs, and 31 in the last two overs, but the Scots, who came to play the World Cup for the first time, lost by 16 runs.
Apart from Ritu's 2 wickets, Nahida, Marufa, Fahima and Rabeya took 1 wicket each.
Among them, Nahida touched the milestone of 100 wickets in international T20 by dismissing Catherine Fraser. This is the first feat among Bangladeshi bowlers. 14th overall in women's cricket.
Earlier, Bangladesh's batting was not satisfactory. After several catch misses and misfields by the Scottish fielders, the Tigresses could not take the opportunity. After Sathi Rani and Murshida Khatun scored 26 runs in the opening pair, Sathi and Sobhana Moshtari added 42 runs for the second wicket. Both of them were the big pair in Bangladesh's innings.
Among the batsmen, Mushtari scored 36 runs off 38 balls and scored 31 off 32 balls. Apart from this, captain Nigar Sultana, who came down to play the 100th T20I, scored 18 runs in 18 balls.
Moshtarei admitted on the broadcast channel during the break of the match that the capital of the Bangladesh team was not very big. But the bowlers made that small capital enough to win. The victory came after a long drought.
Bangladesh last won the T20 World Cup in 2014 before losing to the Scottish. Bangladesh defeated Ireland by 17 runs in the 9th place decider match at Sebar Sylhet. After that, he had to leave the field in 16 matches in four consecutive seasons with a loss.
