In a thrilling Women’s World Cricket match on Monday, Bangladesh suffered a heartbreaking seven-run defeat against Sri Lanka. Despite commendable efforts with the bat by captain Nigar Sultana and Sharmin Akhter, Bangladesh’s campaign came to an end.
Sri Lanka set a target of 203, with Hasini Perera scoring 85, skipper Chamari Athapaththu adding 46, and Nilakshika Silva contributing 37. Bangladesh was in the hunt, courtesy of half-centuries from Sharmin and Nigar, before a late batting collapse left them stranded at 195/9.
Sri Lankan skipper Chamari Athapaththu shone with the ball as well, sealing the victory with a remarkable performance of 4/42, taking three crucial wickets in the final over, and keeping Sri Lanka’s hopes of a knockout berth alive.
