Bangladesh Thrash Pakistan by 7 Wickets
An unbeaten half-century from Rubya Haider, combined with a steady partnership with captain Nigar Sultana and disciplined bowling from young pacer Marufa Akter, powered Bangladesh to a convincing 7-wicket win over Pakistan in their ICC Women’s World Cup clash in Colombo on Thursday.
Rubya remained unbeaten on 54 off 77 balls (including 8 fours) and shared a 62-run partnership with Sultana (23 off 44 balls) for the third wicket. Bangladesh comfortably chased down the target of 130, finishing at 131/3 in 31.1 overs, with 113 balls to spare.
Pakistan’s innings struggled throughout, with wickets falling at regular intervals. They reached 41/2 after 10 overs, but could not build momentum. The middle and lower order kept losing wickets under Bangladesh’s tactical bowling rotations. Pakistan managed only 14 boundaries and crossed the 100-run mark in the 30th over.
The teenage leg-spinner Shorna Akter (3/5) cleaned up the tail, finishing Pakistan’s innings at 129 all out in 38.3 overs, leaving Bangladesh with a comfortable victory.
