Even though Pakistan had the upper hand at one point in the match, Bangladesh ultimately prevailed.
Bangladesh, who chose to bat first, were 94-5 after 16 overs. They scored more slowly as they faltered following the death of Shathi Rani, who had led them to start strongly. But Shorna Akter’s late burst—a blistering 28—helped Bangladesh score a respectable total.
Eight different bowlers were used by Pakistan’s bowlers in a concerted effort to maintain pressure on Bangladesh.
Before Shorna Akter’s 17-ball knock gave them a respectable score of 140-7, Sadia Iqbal claimed two vital wickets, and Omaima Sohail, Tuba Hassan, Diana Baig, and Nida Dar all made significant contributions to limit the Bangladeshi batting line-up.
