Bangladesh women’s team conceded a 3-0 series defeat in the four-match T20I series against visitor Pakistan. The tourist registered a seven-wicket victory over the Tigresses in the fourth and final T20I in Cox’s Bazar’s Sheikh Kamal International Cricket Stadium Saturday. The first game of the series was abandoned due to rain at the same venue.
Bangladesh on the day failed against the Pakistan pacers. The home side batted first only to display yet another poor show with the bat. With only two batters reaching double digit, Bangladesh were restricted to 77 in 20 overs. Middle-order batter Rumana Ahmed’s 24 runs was the highest in the innings, followed by Fahima Khatun’s 14.
Pakistan right-arm pacers Natalia Pervaiz and Diana Baig wrecked havoc as the duo shared five wickets.
