Bangladesh women win the World Twenty20 Qualifier trophy



Bangladesh women’s cricket team has been performing consistently. The tigresses are adding as many titles as they can to their national team’s name. They have won the 2018 ICC Women’s World Twenty20 Qualifier title beating Ireland by 25 runs in the final on Saturday (July 14). It was their third major title in the last month.
Ireland won the toss and invited Bangladesh to bat first. Playing their stipulated 20 overs, Bangladesh women scored 122 runs losing 9 wickets. Ayesha Shukhtara Rahman played her career best innings of 46 runs, which made her the top scorer of Bangladesh team.
Coming to chase Bangladesh’s 123-run target, Ireland women were bowled out for just 97 runs. Panna Ghosh, taking five wickets for 16 runs, became the second Bangladeshi cricketer to claim a five-wicket haul after Jahanara Alam. However, her 5 for 16 is so far the best bowling figure by a Bangladeshi in women cricket history, surpassing Jahanara Alam’s 5 for 28. Jahanara also achieved that feat against Ireland last month. Rumana Ahmed and Nahida took two wickets each.
Bangladesh made their way to the final beating Papua New Guinea, Netherlands, United Arab Emirates and Scotland.
Earlier, they won the Asia Cup beating India in the final at Malaysia last month. Then, they won against hosts Ireland 2-1 before the Qualifiers this month. Hope they will continue this momentum in the future.
