Bangladesh Women’s Cricket Team extended their winning streak with a third consecutive triumph at the ICC Women’s World Cup Qualifiers, defeating Scotland by 34 runs to edge closer to securing a spot in the upcoming World Cup.
Power-packed batting performances from Nigar Sultana Joty, Fargana Hoque, and Sharmin Akhter laid the foundation for Bangladesh’s formidable total. Their composed yet aggressive approach helped the team set a challenging target for the Scottish side.
In response, Scotland fought back through a gritty partnership between Priyanaz Chatterji and Rachel Slater, briefly threatening to turn the tide. Their stand brought tension to the Bangladesh camp, as the game hung in delicate balance.
However, Nahida Akter’s brilliant spell of spin dismantled Scotland’s lower order, swinging the momentum firmly back in favor of the Tigresses. Her precision and control under pressure ensured Bangladesh sealed a crucial 34-run win.
With this victory, Bangladesh now stands on the brink of qualification. One more win from their remaining two matches — against Pakistan or West Indies — will confirm their place in the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup.
Liberty News’ sports correspondent states that Captain Joty’s squad remains focused as they aim to convert this dominant run into a historic World Cup berth.
