Bangladesh Women Bowling Scorecard
Bangladesh’s bowlers had several productive spells and took nine wickets. Sanjida Akter Meghla claimed three wickets, while Marufa Akter took two. Rabeya Khan, Nahida Akter, Sobhana Mostary and Ritu Moni also picked up wickets.
Sanjida’s three-wicket performance was important because she dismissed Amy Hunter, Orla Prendergast and Louise Little. However, Ireland still managed to score at 7.15 runs per over, partly because of the late acceleration.

Bangladesh Women Batting Scorecard
Bangladesh began their chase poorly when Dilara Akter was dismissed for a duck in the first over. Juairiya Ferdous and Sharmin Akhter then helped rebuild the innings. Ferdous played the most productive innings for Bangladesh, scoring 50 from 38 balls with ten fours.
Sharmin made 27 from 40 balls, but her slower scoring rate meant Bangladesh struggled to keep pace with the target. Captain Nigar Sultana scored 19 from 14 balls before being stumped, and the middle order could not provide the acceleration required in the closing overs.
Shorna Akter remained unbeaten on 12, while Nahida Akter added seven not out from just three balls. Bangladesh finished on 132/6, 11 runs short of Ireland’s total.
