Women’s T20 WC: Sobhana, Sultana Take Bangladesh To 117/5 Against South Africa
T20 World Cup: Bangladesh recovered from a disastrous start to post 117/5 in their 20 overs against South Africa after captain Nigar Sultana's unbeaten late flourish and a resilient third-wicket partnership between Sobhana Mostary and Sharmin Akhter rescued the innings here at the Lord’s Cricket Ground on Sunday in what is the penultimate group game of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup.
On a lively surface that offered movement throughout the morning, South Africa's experienced pace attack, led by Marizanne Kapp and Shabnim Ismail, dictated the early exchanges before the spinners tightened their grip during the middle overs.
Bangladesh's decision to bat first came under immediate scrutiny as Kapp struck with the opening delivery of the match. Juairiya Ferdous departed for a golden duck after missing a wild swing, setting the tone for an uncomfortable powerplay against the new ball. Kapp extracted pronounced swing from the outset, repeatedly beating the outside edge, while Ismail's pace and seam movement ensured Bangladesh found little breathing room.
