Bangladesh pacer Marufa Akter has created a flutter with the ball at the start of the Women’s World Cup. There was a lot of discussion in the cricket world about her inswing. However, she did not find a place in the playing eleven in the World Cup match and their fifth match between Bangladesh and Australia on Thursday. There was confusion about why this star pacer was suddenly dropped. There was also a fear of injury. However, after the match, Sobhana Mostary, who scored a half-century against Australia, gave a different reason.
Regarding Marufa’s absence, the Bangladesh star batter said at the post-match conference, “Marufa’s absence is the management’s or captain’s call. The way she came back from the injury…she had a hand injury for a year. She came back well from there. Maybe I felt she should be rested today. The next two matches are very important, so that we can use Marufa well there. Our spinners are also doing well.”
Australia, the seven-time world champions, defeated the Bangladesh women and showed their legacy in chasing down the target of 199 at the ACA VDCA Cricket Stadium in the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup. Alyssa Healy’s 113 and Phoebe Litchfield’s unbeaten 84 helped the Aussies win by 10 wickets in just 24.5 overs. Four wins from five matches (one abandoned) ensured them a place in the World Cup semi-finals as the first team to do so. On the other hand, Bangladesh’s chances of surviving the World Cup have narrowed.
