Hamilton [New Zealand], March 14 (ANI): Bangladesh skipper Nigar Sultana expressed happiness after her side thrashed Pakistan in the 12th match of the ongoing ICC Women's ODI World Cup, here at Seddon Park, Hamilton on Monday.
Pakistan batter Sidra Ameen's knock of 104 runs went in vain as Fahima Khatun scalped three wickets and provided her side a victory by 9 runs.
"I think I can't describe the feeling. This is a historic moment. I thought the spinners will dominate here. We know Pakistan really well. We beat them in the qualifier as well. The girls have put in the hardwork. A win gives you a lot of confidence. We are improving and we know we are a capable team," said Nigar Sultana after the game.
Chasing 235, Pakistan had a good start as both the opening batters provided momentum to the team. It was in the 24th over when they lost their first wicket after Nahida Khan was dismissed by Rumana Ahmed, with the team's total at 91/1.
Skipper Bisamh Maroof then came to the crease and took her side to the 150-run mark. Her stint was short-lived as she was sent back by Jahanara Alam after scoring 31 runs.
Later, Omaima Sohail joined Sidra Ameen and tried to anchor the innings but was dismissed by Fahima Khatun.
Omaima's dismissal was followed by four more wickets as Nida Dar, Aliya Riaz, Fatima Sana, and Sidra Nawaz also departed, with Pakistan's score at 187/7. Sidra Ameen stood as the last hope for Pakistan and tried her best to take her side to victory.
She, along with Diana Baig, took Pakistan across the 200-run mark but the latter departed after scoring 12 runs. Then, Sidra Ameen was run out for 104 runs and this ended Pakistan's hope of winning the match. (ANI)
