The Bangladesh Women’s ‘A’ cricket team made a strong statement in their T20 series opener against Sri Lanka, securing a comfortable 7-wicket victory.
Despite a promising start from Sri Lanka’s openers, Bangladesh’s bowlers, led by Fahima Khatun’s 3-wicket haul, managed to keep the run rate in check. In reply, Shamima Sultana, returning to the side after a lengthy injury absence, anchored the Bangladesh innings with a well-crafted 48 runs.
With this win, Bangladesh have taken an early lead in the 5-match series, which is being seen as crucial preparation for the upcoming T20 World Cup. The team’s dominant performance has boosted their confidence and set the tone for the remainder of the tournament.
