Bangladesh’s women’s cricket team created history on Tuesday by defeating Pakistan in the second T20 International, securing their first-ever T20I series victory over the visitors.
The thrilling match at Sher-e-Bangla Stadium ended with Bangladesh chasing down Pakistan’s modest target in the final over to clinch the three-match series 2-0, with one match remaining.
Match Highlights
- Pakistan Women: 102/7 in 20 overs
- Bangladesh Women: 103/6 in 19.3 overs
- Fargana Hoque was instrumental in the chase with a composed knock of 35 runs, supported by Rumana Ahmed and Nahida Akter.
- Nashra Sandhu took 2 wickets for Pakistan but couldn’t prevent the loss.
This marks a significant milestone for Bangladesh Women, who had never won a T20I series against Pakistan before this tour.
Series Context
Pakistan’s women, led by Nida Dar, were favorites coming into the series but struggled with batting collapses and inconsistent fielding across the matches.
This win is expected to boost morale and international standing for Bangladesh, especially ahead of upcoming qualifiers and ICC tournaments.
What’s Next
The third and final T20I is scheduled for July 18, offering Pakistan a chance to avoid a clean sweep and regroup before the ODI leg of the tour.
