During the third T20I match against India Women in Sylhet on Thursday (May 2) Nigar Sultana, the captain of the Bangladesh Women‘s cricket team, visibly expressed her frustration at the on-field umpire’s decision following her LBW dismissal .

Bangladesh’s struggles despite promising start

Bangladesh entered the game already trailing in the five-match series, having been decisively defeated by India in the first two matches. Despite a promising start with Murshida Khan and Dilara Akter forming a formidable partnership during the powerplay, putting on 46 runs in the initial 6.3 overs, the team struggled to maintain momentum. Unfortunately, their innings?? took a downturn as wickets fell at regular intervals thereafter, resulting in ??a notable deceleration of their run rate.

Nigar Sultana’s frustration over LBW dismissal

Sultana showcased her determination by holding firm at the crease, contributing 28 runs off 36 balls to anchor Bangladesh’s innings. With 10 balls remaining and the team at 108/4, she faced Radha Yadav‘s delivery. Taking an aggressive stance, Sultana advanced down the pitch to meet the good length ball. However, her attempt to strike the ball down the ground proved unsuccessful as she misjudged its trajectory, resulting in it hitting her front pad. Despite the apparent impact appearing high, with Sultana positioned almost two meters down the pitch and the ball contacting her thigh pad, the umpire raised the finger.

In a display of evident frustration, as Sultana made her way off the pitch, she couldn’t contain her emotions. Shouting towards the dugout, she vented her dissatisfaction with the decision. Then, with visible exasperation, she flung her bat and helmet away as she crossed over the boundary, a stark reflection of her disappointment in the moment.

Valuable contributions from Dilara Akter and Sobhana Mostary

In addition to Sultana’s notable contribution, Akter emerged as a standout performer with the bat, showcasing her prowess by scoring 39 runs off just 27 deliveries, which included five boundaries. Sobhana Mostary also made a valuable contribution, adding 15 runs off 20 balls to Bangladesh’s total. Opting to bat first, Bangladesh posted a score of 117/8 in their allotted 20 overs. India’s bowling attack was led by Radha, who emerged as the top wicket-taker with figures of 2/22, while Renuka Singh, Pooja Vastrakar and Shreyanka Patil each claimed one wicket apiece.

India Women’s clinical chase

In a formidable response, Team India successfully chased down the target with nine balls to spare and seven wickets in hand. Shafali Varma led the charge with a brilliant innings, notching up 51 runs off just 38 deliveries, which included eight boundaries. Smriti Mandhana also made a significant contribution, scoring 47 runs off 42 balls, featuring one six and five boundaries. The dynamic duo forged a commanding 91 runs partnership for the opening wicket, setting the stage for India’s victory.

Day 1 of the opening Test against Bangladesh in Sylhet saw Sri Lanka posting a score of 280 runs after being in a dire situation at 57/5. However, a resilient partnership of 202 runs between Dhananjaya de Silva and Kamindu Mendis, both scoring 102 runs each, led to a remarkable recovery, all??owing the tourists to reach a respectable score.

Early struggles: Sri Lanka’s top order tested by Bangladesh pacers

In Sri Lanka’s innings, they faced early challenges as Khaled Ahmed struck early to dismiss opener Nishan Madushka (2), who offered a catch to Mehidy Hasan at third slip in just the second over of the match. Despite this setback, Dimuth Karunaratne and Kusal Mendis managed to build a partnership of 37 runs for the second wicket before Khaled struck again, with Mendis departing after knocking the pacer’s delivery to Zakir Hasan at gully, scoring 16 runs.

Khaled continued his dominance by bowling Karunaratne with an in-swinger in the same over for 17. To compound Sri Lanka’s early woes, Najmul Hossain Shanto ran out Angelo Mathews for just five with a direct-hit. Shoriful Islam further added to Sri Lanka’s troubles by removing Dinesh Chandimal for nine, with Mehidy Hasan grabbing his second catch of the morning down low at leg sl??ip.

Dhananjaya de Silva and Kamindu Mendis lead remarkable fightback

After lunch, Dhananjaya and Kamindu displayed their batting prowess, steering Sri Lanka towards a respectable total. Kamindu reached his maiden Test century off 126 balls with a sublime four through the covers off Nahid Rana but unfortunately fell on the next delivery, edging a catch to Liton Das. Following suit, Dhananjaya attempted to hook Rana off a short ball but was caught after a bold innings that included 12 fours and ?a six.

Both Dhananjaya and Kamindu notched brilliant centuries but were dismissed in Nahid Rana’s successive overs. Despite the lower-order failing to contribute significantly, the remarkable 202-run partnership between Dhananjaya and Kamindu had already steered the visitors to a position of safety. Pacers Khaled and Rana starred for the hosts, claiming three wickets each on the green surface they chose to bowl first on.

Sri Lankan bowlers strikes back

In response, Sri Lankan bowler Vishwa Fernando made early breakthroughs, dismissing Zakir Hasan and Shanto. Kasun Rajitha then claimed the wicket of Mominul Haque in the slip cordon, further boosting Sri Lanka’s position. As the day concluded, Bangladesh found themselves at 32/3 at stumps, with Taijul Islam as the nightwatchman and Mahmudul Hasan Joy at the crease, providing Sri Lanka with a positive end to the day’s play.

Here’s how Twitter reacted:

It was pleasing to watch the fightback of the 6th wicket pair of skipper Dananjaya De Silva and Kamindu Mendis steering Sri Lanka out of a virtual embarrassment. The Lankans now have something respectable on the board and hopefully if the tail could wag then it will be more than�?/p>

In a historic achievement, the Bangladesh cricket team achieved their first-ever Test match victory against New Zealand at home at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium on Friday, December 2. The ho??sts triumphed by 150 runs, claiming a 1-0 lead in the two-game series.

New Zealand, chasing a target of 332, were bowled out for 181, with Taijul Islam delivering a stellar performance, bagging a crucial six-wicket haul (6/75) that played a pivotal role in Bangladesh’s historic win.

Taijul Islam’s six-wicket haul paves the way for Bangladesh’s historic win

During the fourth day, New Zealand found themselves struggling at 113/7 by stumps, still requiring an improbable 219 runs for victory. Daryl Mitchell was the lone survivor from the top six, and the situation seemed dire for the v?isitors.

On the fifth day of the Test match, Mitchell showcased resilience as he reached his ninth Test fifty. However, his steadfast innings was brought to an end when he failed to connect a sweep off Nayeem Hasan, resulting in a well-taken tumbling catch by Taijul Islam at deep square leg. This dismissal provided Bangladesh with a crucial breakthrough, further shaping the course of the fixture. The last Kiwi wicket fall, in the form of Ish Sodhi, marked Taijul’s sixth victim.

Summary of the game between Bangladesh and New Zealand

In the earlier stages of the match, Bangladesh posted 310 runs in their first innings, while New Zealand, led by their evergreen batter Kane Williamson, secured a seven-run lead in reply, finishing on 317. Bangladesh’s second innings featured a score of 338, with their first time Test captain, Najmul Hossain Shanto, celebrati?ng the occasion by scoring a century. This s?et the visitors a challenging target of 341 for victory.
