Bangladesh Women’s A concedes T20 series to India
DHAKA, Oct 14, 2019 (BSS) – After being whitewashed in the three-match one-
day series, Bangladesh Women’s A team now conceded the T20 series also after
second string Indian Women’s team beat them by 30 runs in third match at the
Sheikh Kamal International Cricket Stadium in Cox’s Bazar on Monday.
The first two matches of the series was washed out due to consistent rain,
so the only third game became the deciding match of the series and the hosts
lost it to taste a 1-0 defeat.
Being sent to bat first, India Women’s A team scored 111-7 in the
stipulated 20 overs and later their bowlers bowled in disciplined way to
restrict Bangladesh to 81-9.
In what seemed an easy target to achieve, Bangladesh A left in tittering
14-3, after Sanjid Islam, Murshid Khatun and Fargana Haque fell to single
digit figure.
Ritu Moni and captain Shaila Sharmin also failed to lift the side after
which Nuzhat Tumpa and Fahima Khatun tried to claw back with 30-run
partnership between them. But no one could convert their innings to big one,
leaving Bangladesh A in further troublesome situation from which they
couldn’t recover eventually.
Nuzhat was the top-scorer for the side with 15 while Fahima scored 13.
Kanowar was the highest wicket-taker for India Women’s A with 8-3 while
Meghana took 2-2.
For India, Tejal Hasabnis made 28 to be the highest scorer while Devika
Vadiya scored 19. Opener Yastika Bhatia chipped-in-with 18.
Khadizatul Kubra claimed 3-12 for Bangladesh Women’s A.
