Niggers achieved the first goal in the first match
Women's T20 World Cup 2024/25, BAN Women vs SCO Women Match Report: Scotland did themselves no favours, spilling chances in the field - as did Bangladesh - and failing to get their power-hitting going
Niggers achieved the first goal in the first match
Women's T20 World Cup was supposed to be held in Bangladesh this time. But due to security concerns after the political change in Bangladesh, the tournament was moved to the United Arab Emirates even though the host was BCBE. The Niger Sultana team made a good start in the World Cup by defeating Scotland by 17 runs in the opening match of the tournament at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium today.
Before going to the UAE for the World Cup, Bangladesh women's team captain Nigar Sultana specified a goal. Bangladesh Women's team has not won a match in Women's T20 World Cup for 10 years, now they want to end this drought. Nigar Sultana also said that she wanted to start well by winning the first match.
After 10 years, Bangladesh girls won the T20 World Cup ...
By defeating Scotland, the primary goal of Bangladesh girls has been fulfilled. Nigar Sultana said after the match in Sharjah today, "We have been waiting for this moment for a long time. We had in our minds that the moment would be ours. This win means a lot to us.
A 119-run haul against the Scots seemed to be enough for Nigger, saying, 'There is a need to settle on such a wicket. It is not easy to bat on this wicket early on. Pairing was important for us. We got a good collection and kept believing in ourselves.''
Earlier, Bangladesh won all four T20 matches against Scotland. Playing for the first time in the Women's T20 World Cup, Scotland was restricted to 102 runs for 7 wickets in 20 overs today by Niger Sultana's team.
Nigar credited the bowlers for that, saying, "We have a very good spin attack, with (pacer) Marufa also doing well. So we were confident about this run. So glad we were able to turn around and seeing the smiles on the girls' faces is the biggest motivation.'
Although the first goal has been achieved, a tough challenge awaits the women of Bangladesh in this World Cup. The Niger Sultanas will then play against England, West Indies and South Africa in the group stage. England and West Indies have won the Women's T20 World Cup once each, while South Africa were runners-up in the last World Cup. Bangladesh girls will play their next match in Sharjah on October 5 against England, who have been champions once as well as runners-up three times.
