Bangladesh will look to bounce back when they face Nepal tomorrow in their second and final Super 4 fixture at the same venue.
Last year, Bangladesh not only had a decent campaign in the inaugural U-19 Women’s T20 World Cup in South Africa, but they also produced players like Marufa Akter, Shorna Akter, Dilara Akter and Rabeya.
Although three and a half years have passed since then, the Tigresses are yet to feature in the game’s elite format.
While Ireland had recently beat England and Sri Lanka, the hosts are winless this year and last played a 50-over match in March.
For the first time, BCB has been able to secure a deal for title sponsorship and ground rights for a home women’s series.
The match once again delivered a similar old story -- evident in the preceding defeats against England, West Indies -- where Bangladesh batters showcased a below-par performance.
Thursday’s crunch game between West Indies and Bangladesh had a big impact on the qualification permutations at the Women’s T20 World Cup.
In a repeat of the 2023 semi-final, England got their revenge with an all-round team display to chase down 125 with four balls remaining.
The momentum for women's cricket in Bangladesh would have had a far bigger boost had they been staging the event as planned.
