Bangladesh batting first against Pakistan
In a crucial match of Women’s World Cup Qualifiers, Bangladesh women’s cricket team has taken the field today to secure a spot in the main round of the tournament.
Bangladesh has made one change in the playing XI for today’s match against Pakistan. Out-of-form Subhana Mostary has been dropped and wicketkeeper-batter Dilara Akter has been included. The rest of the players remain unchanged from the previous match against the West Indies.
A win today would secure Bangladesh a direct entry into the main tournament. But if they lose, they will have to rely on the result of the West Indies vs Thailand match.
In such a scenario, Joty and her team not only need to win but also hope that the Caribbean team either loses or if they win, doesn’t do so by a big margin.
Bangladesh Playing XI: Dilara Akter, Fargana Hoque Pinky, Sharmin Akter Supta, Nigar Sultana Joty (captain), Swarna Akter, Ritu Moni, Fahima Khatun, Jannatul Ferdous Sumona, Nahida Akter, Rabeya Khan and Marufa Akter.
