Bangladesh A Vs Pakistan A LIVE Score, Women’s Asia Cup Rising Stars: Fahima Khatun’s 40 Lifts Total To 110

Busy final over to close the innings. A couple of wides add handy extras before the batters rotate strike with singles. Fahima Khatun continues to fight, picking up a brace and pushing hard between the wickets to keep the total ticking. No big finish, but useful late runs added. Bangladesh A finish on 110/8 after 20 overs, with Fahima unbeaten on a gritty 40 off 32, giving the bowlers something to defend.

Eventful over for Pakistan A as Bangladesh A suffer a double blow. A mix-up in the middle results in Farjana Easmin being run out after sharp work from Yusra Amir, and soon after, Shorifa Khatun departs for a duck, caught by Shawaal Zulfiqar off Momina Riasat. Though a boundary came earlier in the over, the two wickets shift momentum firmly towards Pakistan A. Bangladesh A slump to 82/6 after 15 overs, with Fahima Khatun holding one end on 26.

Anosha Nasir strikes in her first over to put Pakistan A further on top. She keeps it straight and full, and Ishma Tanjim is caught on the crease trying to work it across the line. The appeal goes up loud and the finger follows, plumb in front. Ishma departs for 12 off 23 after struggling for fluency.

Just four runs and a crucial wicket in the over, Bangladesh A 39/2 after 8 overs, pressure mounting.

First breakthrough for Pakistan A and it’s Waheeda Akhtar who strikes. She hits a tight length and Shamima Sultana looks to play on the up, but doesn’t get the timing right. The ball travels straight to Huraina Sajjad, who takes a safe catch. Shamima departs for 13 off 13, and Bangladesh A lose their first at 19/1.

Steady start for Bangladesh A. A couple of quiet deliveries to begin the over before the batters rotate strike with singles. Shamima Sultana then finds the first real release, driving crisply for four to keep the scoreboard moving. The bowler pulls it back with a dot to finish. Six from the over, Bangladesh A 8/0 after 2 overs.
