Bangladesh Beat USA In ICC Women's T20 World Cup

ABU DHABI: Bangladesh beat USA by 55 runs to make it a clean sweep in Group A while Ireland edged Scotland to make it to the playoffs of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup Qualifier at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium, here on Wednesday. In match No 9 of the tournament, Bangladesh posted their second-highest total (158/1 in 20 overs) in women's T20Is to thrash USA by 55 runs and win their third successive game in the ICC Women's T20 World Cup Qualifier. The six-wicket win over Scotland two days back had already taken Bangladesh to the top of Group A in the Qualifier.

After opting to bat first, Bangladesh lost Shamima Sultana cheaply, but the pair of Murshida Khatun and Nigar Sultana put on an unbeaten 138-run partnership, each bringing up their individual half-centuries.

The duo helped Bangladesh to 158/1 in 20 overs, their second-highest total in women's T20Is after the record-breaking 255/2 they made against Maldives in 2019. IANS
