Sports Reporter
Javeria Khan's six-wicket burst scripted Bangladesh women's cricket team's 38-run defeat against Pakistan in their second leg Asia Cup match at the Dambulla International Stadium yesterday.
Off-spinner Javeria, the last bowler used by Pakistan captain Urooj Mumtaz, finished with incredible bowling figures of six wickets in 8.1 overs that yielded only 8 runs as the country's women were bowled out for only 72 runs in 33.1 overs, in reply to Pakistan's paltry 110 made in 44.4 overs.
But Pakistan’s target turned out to be too big for Bangladesh as eight batswomen. including inspirational captain Salma Khatun, failed to reach double figures. Salma who starred with the bat and ball in the last match against India, was trapped leg-before by Javeria for only 2. Opener Shathira Jakir top-scored with 19 off 49 balls including two boundaries. Ayesha
Akhtar (12) and Tithy Sarkar (11) were the other notable scorers. Javeria and leg-spinner Mumtaz shared nine wickets between them for Pakistan.
Earlier, the Bangladesh bowlers gave their side a very good chance of beating Pakistan for the second time in the tournament as they restricted (hem (o only 110. Off-spinner Tithy Sarkar, who is Bangladesh's leading wicket-taker in the tournament with eight wickets, picked up 3 wickets for 29 while new-ball bowler Panna Ghosh also finished with three victims. Skipper Salma continued her good show with ihe ball, taking two for 8 while Shathira took one wicket.
Sana Javed was promoted up the order to open along with Bismah Maroof but the two only added four runs before Javed was caught behind off Panna Ghosh in the first over. She came back to remove Maroof and captain Urooj Mumtaz in her third and fourth overs and reduced Pakistan to 20 for 3.Things didn't improve for Pakistan and they kept losing wickets at regular intervals. Asmavia Iqbal was their top scorer with 28 and no other batsman scored for more than 20.
