Bangladesh Women's secure ODI status with wins
Bangladesh Women secured one-day international status for the first time with a nine-wicket victory over USA Women in a low-scoring game in Savar. USA won the toss and chose to bat but were bowled out for 78 thanks to 4 for 20 from Khadiza Tul Kubra. Bangladesh then took just 18.5 overs to reach their target with Suktara Rahaman top scoring with an unbeaten 29.
Bangladesh captain, Salma Khatun, was delighted with her side’s achievement. “It feels fantastic to have gained ODI status and it means a lot for Bangladesh women’s cricket, things can only get better from here.”
Congratulations to Bangladesh Women Cricket team!
