Congratulations to Bangladesh women’s cricket team. Many many congratulations. We won a great match against Pakistan.
I predicted yesterday that Bangladesh has a 99 percent chance of winning this match. Pakistan and Bangladesh are equal teams, but if we compare, we will keep Bangladesh ahead. Bangladesh is ahead in terms of experience. There are more experienced players. The Pakistan team may have been playing cricket for many years. But right now there are not many experienced players in the team except one or two. On the other hand, there are senior cricketers in Bangladesh like Salma Khatun, Rumana Ahmed, Jahanara Alam and Farzana Haque Pinki who have been playing cricket for a long time.
At the end of the day, those who can hold the nerves, if they can hold the momentum that comes in these matches, the match can be won. Bangladesh has done that. First of all, let’s come to the batting context of Bangladesh. They batted well, 234 runs. Which is the highest ODI run of Bangladesh against Pakistan.
The two openers must be mentioned separately. Shamima and Sharmin have made a great start. Sharmin could not score a half century for a while.
But more important than the half-century is the 44 runs he has scored for the team. Did not read the wicket. Made a great pair. Like it.
When Farzana came, she was playing well with Sharmeen. Farzana formed a good partnership with captain Nigar Sultana after Sharmeen was out. From 11 to 20 overs, the run has come a little less. At that time it seemed that Bangladesh could not do more than two hundred.
But later Nigar and Farzana made up the shortfall. Unfortunately, Nigger did not score a half-century. Today I could see three half centuries. Farzana, Sharmeen and Nigar, whatever happened.
But the contribution they have made to the team is far greater. Especially the pair that Farzana and Nigar have formed, otherwise the batting order could have collapsed. Came out of there. They know how to play. Farzana has played for many days. Nigar is a new and young captain, but he bats well. I played a lot of domestic cricket with him.
