Deepti Sharma oversteps and hands Bangladesh Women an extra chance with a no-ball. Nigar Sultana drives the freebie down to long-on for a single, but the big moment is the free-hit coming up for Sharmin Akhter.

Nandni Sharma overpitches outside off, and Nigar Sultana makes full use of the opportunity. The Bangladesh skipper steps forward, opens the bat face, and guides it beautifully past short third for four with excellent placement.

Renuka Singh goes full outside off, and Nigar Sultana gets a lucky boundary. The Bangladesh skipper opens the bat face, catches a thick edge, and the ball races fine past the wicketkeeper for four. A streaky but valuable start for Nigar as Bangladesh Women keep the scoreboard moving.
