Bangladesh Women v Pakistan Women – Ireland Tri-Nation Women's One-Day Series (2nd match) – Match Update
An intense bowling performance by Nida Dar and Qanita Jalil enabled the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ireland-c751 Tri-Nation Women's One-Day Series, played at the Railway Union
Cricket Club in Sandymount, Dublin, on August 23.
The Bangladesh Women won the toss and elected to bat first, but were unable to apply themselves at the crease. Ayesha Akhter (4) and Sharmin Akhter (1) opened the innings for their side, but http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Qanita-Jalil-c82844 (7-0-13-2) did not allow them to settle in at the
crease. Sharmin Akhter was dismissed in the 3rd over, caught out by wicketkeeper Batool Fatima, and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Syeda-Nain-Fatima-Abidi-c92397.
Shukhtara Rahman (37) and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Nida-Rashid-Dar-c79512 (10-1-36-3)
and skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Salma-Khatun-c88162 became the right-arm off-spinner’s next victim, dismissed on duck in the 28th over.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sadia-Yousuf-c87834 claimed Lata Mondal, lbw, as her sole wicket
for the day, and Shukhtara Rahman was finally dislodged via run out by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Batool-Fatima-c47509 in the 40th over.
Farzana Haque (11) and Yasmin Boishakhi (1) managed meagre contributions before they were sent back to the pavilion, and by the end of 50 overs, with Ritu Moni (23*) and Jahanara Alam (12*) at the crease, the Bangladesh Women posted a final total of 161.
Following their intense bowling performance, the Pakistan Women faced little trouble during their 162-run chase, which they managed to complete with 4 wickets and 3 balls remaining.
Having put up effective performances with the ball, Nida Dar (14) and Qanita Jalil (12) went on to open the innings for their side. Their partnership yielded 18 runs, after which http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Jahanara-Alam-c65295 intervened to sent Qanita Jalil back to the pavilion in the 5th
over.
Nain Abidi was similarly mediocre, with a 15-run contribution. However, the middle order took it upon themselves to take charge of the innings, and the efforts of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sana-Mir-c88459 (29) got the team up to 157 by
the 48th over. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Marina-Iqbal-c74453 (2*) joined forces to take the team over the finishing line, and the Pakistan Women finished at 164, with 3 deliveries to spare.
