The Women’s Cricket League regrets not being able to play first-class cricket. A couple of years ago, the girls got the status of the Test team, but they could not play red-ball cricket until now.

Finally, they started on Thursday at Sheikh Abu Nasser Stadium in Khulna. Earlier, BCL was launched as a first-class cricket league for men, but this is the first time women are playing two-day matches.

BCB women’s wing chairman Shafiul Alam Chowdhury inaugurated the tournament of the longer version. On the first day, Team Yamuna was all out for just 155 runs in the first innings. In response, Team Padma lost seven wickets to score 112 runs in the first innings. Padma trailed by 43 runs with three wickets in hand.

Jamuna captain Sobhana Mostari scored 49 and Sultana Khatun scored 38 runs. Salma Khatun took four wickets and Fahima Khatun took three wickets. In reply, despite Saathi Rani’s 43 and Ritu Moni’s 40, Team Padma lost seven wickets to score 112 runs. Sanjida Akhter took four wickets.

The Bangladesh women’s cricket team lost miserably against South Africa in their last match of the Women’s World Cup in Cape Town on Tuesday (February 21). Bangladesh collected 113 runs after losing 6 wickets in the allotted 20 overs. In reply, South Africa won the match without losing any wickets with 13 balls in hand. Along with that, the Niger Sultana team ended the World Cup without seeing the face of victory in the entire tournament. Playing their last match on International Mother Language Day, Bangladesh wanted to remember the day of glory with a win. Negara Sultana, Shamima, and Marufa Khatun were confirmed to be out of the World Cup after losing thrice. The hope of returning home with a consolation victory still needed to be fulfilled for the Tigresses.

In Cape Town, Bangladesh failed to field with the bat but burned in frustration due to bad fielding. Wicketkeeper Shamima Sultana failed twice despite getting a chance to stamp. Bangladesh, who won the toss and decided to bat, failed again today. Almost everyone failed to run. Captain Nigar Sultana scored 30 runs for the team but spent 34 balls. Subhana Mustari also played 30 balls to score 27 runs. Among the rest, only two managed to score double-digit runs. Opener Shamima Sultana and Swarna Akhter scored 11 runs.

They cost 16 and 11 balls respectively. The Tigers eventually reached 113 for 6 thanks to Nahida Akhter’s 15-run innings from 11 balls. In response, South Africa’s two openers, Laura Woolvert, and Tazmin Britts batted comfortably to take the team to the port of victory with 13 balls to spare. Ulvert scored 66 runs in 56 balls with 7 fours and 1 six. Tazmin scored 50 runs off 51 balls with 4 fours. However, Bangladesh got a chance. However, Niger Sultana’s team ended the World Cup with a shameful loss of 10 wickets due to lousy fielding.

But Maddison Landsman and Karabo Meso showed batting tenacity to win. Maddison scored a maximum of 37 runs with 3 fours and 1 six and got out at the head of the team’s 103 runs. And Karabo played an unbeaten inning of 32 runs off 30 balls with 4 fours and left the field winning the group. Before them, Simone Lawrence played an inning of 26 runs from 22 balls and 4 fours. Rabeya Khan of Bangladesh bowled 4 overs and took 3 wickets with 18 runs including 1 maiden.

Before that, the opening pair of Afia Pradhya and Mishti Saha, who won the toss and went to bat, scored 26 runs in 4.2 overs. Then Mishti returns with 12 runs off 2 fours in 14 balls. From there Afia and Dilara made a partnership of 25 runs.

In the last ball of the 10th over, Dilarao returned with a team score of 51 runs. 17 runs from 20 balls with 3 fours came from his bat. Afia returned for 56 runs with 21 runs off 33 balls.

After that, Bangladesh lost two wickets for 87 runs. Swarna, who was playing first, got out with 20 runs off 18 balls. Then Marufa Akhtar got out for zero runs.

As soon as Bangladesh reached the final of the qualifiers, the upcoming T20 World Cup was confirmed.

Nigar Sultana Jyotira became the champion by defeating Ireland in the final. Jyoti’s team did not lose a single match in the tournament.

The Asia Cup is ahead. The BCB has already announced the squad for this tournament. The tigresses have also been prepared for the Asia Cup as they are busy in the qualifying matches. “I would say it was the best preparation for us because there can be no better preparation than match practice. Since we have played in this format, it will help us much more in the Asia Cup. â€?/div>
