A capital of 119 runs was a little alarming. A couple of days ago, those who won by chasing 132 runs, there was a question about whether the target of 120 runs was reduced or not.
But Bangladesh answered that question well. With 119 runs in great bowling, he took a great victory by 16 runs against Scotland. And the team of Niger’s Sultana Jyoti made a good start in the World Cup as well.
Despite winning the toss and losing the opener Murshida Khatun, Bangladesh scored 55 runs in the first ten overs with the bat of Sathi Rani and Subhana Mustari. However, the team’s run rate did not increase after that. Total 64 runs in the last 10 overs. Sathi departed with 29 runs.
Anointed anointed Taj Nahar departed before he could even step into double figures. Sobhana departed at the start of the 16th over with 36 off 38 balls. The team’s total score was 86.
Nigar Sultana Jyoti made an attempt to score a quick run in the last over. But his strike rate was also 100th, he departed in the last over after scoring 18 runs off 18 balls. But on the other side, Fahima Khatun’s short cameo of 10 runs from 5 balls took Bangladesh to 119 runs.
In response, the Bangladeshi bowlers bowled controlled bowling from the beginning. And with that little by little the pressure started to increase on Scotland.
Sarah Bryce fought alone for the Scottish. He was unbeaten on 49 runs till the end. None of the others could score more than 11 runs. Nahida Akhtar reached the milestone of 100 wickets with 1 wicket in this match. He is the first Bangladeshi bowler to achieve this feat. Ritu Moni was the most successful with the ball, taking 2 wickets. Apart from Swarna Akhtar, all other bowlers took one wicket each. Bangladesh won by 16 runs with the combined efforts of all.
