Left-arm spinners Sanjida Akter Meghla and Nahida Akter claimed three wickets apiece as Bangladesh scripted memorable fightbacks both with the bat and ball to hand Pakistan a 23-run defeat in a low-scoring thriller in a Group A clash in the ICC Women's T20 World Cup at the Hampshire Bowl in Southampton on Saturday.

Bangladesh were reduced to 48/4 in the 10th over after electing to bat first. But skipper Nigar Sultana (36) and Shorna Akter (39 not out) struck crucial knocks to help them post a modest 123/6.
