Pakistan copped their second defeat ahead of the Women's T20 World Cup, losing to Bangladesh despite being in a dominant position at one point in the game
Bangladesh Test team reached Pakistan yesterday, five days ahead of schedule, to officially begin the final phase of their preparations for the forthcoming two-Test series against the hosts, having failed to do so at home owing to weeks of unrest.
Nigar scored 54 off 104 balls while opener Fargana Hoque made 40 off 88 balls after the Tigresses won the toss and opted to bat first
Another Sorry display with the bat saw Bangladesh get bundled out for 204 after opting to bat first against Pakistan in their ICC World Cup encounter at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata on Tuesday.
Bangladesh have made just one change, bringing in batter Towhid Hridoy in place of Mahedi Hasan in a bid to strengthen the fragile batting line-up.
As Bangladesh prepare to take on co-hosts Pakistan in their first Asia Cup Super Four game at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore today, one of the major talking points ahead of this crucial encounter has been regarding the Tigers’ line-up.
The Asia Cup final took cricket fans by storm with Bangladesh winning hearts of millions across the world including the high and mighty. Minutes after Pakistan pulled off the heist, their second title in the tournament's history, tweets and Facebook posts poured into the internet.
There was hardly a dry eye yesterday across the country. From people glued to their TV sets, to people thronged in miniscule cafes, from people gathering in public spaces to those 30-odd thousand who had managed to find their way to Mirpur the tears flowed freely and endlessly.
A chartered flight is usually reserved for heads of states or billionaires. The Tigers may not have elevated themselves to that status but on Wednesday night they forced their employer to make an arrangement for one such flight from Dhaka to Dharamsala after an extraordinary five-wicket win against Pakistan.
