What was seen throughout the season, the familiar scene was repeated in the last match as well. Another failure by the batsmen, along with poor fielding. Bangladesh’s finish in the World Cup is even more faded. Bangladesh’s campaign in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup ended with a big loss. South Africa entered the semi-finals with a 10-wicket win. Bangladesh lost 6 wickets for 113 runs in 20 overs in Cape Town on Tuesday. In reply, the hosts reached the target with 13 balls to spare in unbeaten fifties by openers Laura Woolvert and Tazmin Britts. In the 20-over World Cup, Bangladesh’s losing streak has reached 16 matches! After winning the toss and batting, Bangladesh lost Murshida Khatun in the third over. This opener could not open the account of runs after playing 6 balls. Shamima Sultana could not take advantage of the opportunity after taking the catch for 3 runs. He caught 11 runs. Bangladesh can score only 23 runs for 2 wickets in power play. Even after that, the speed of the run did not increase. The score was 41 for 2 after 10 overs. Sobhana Mostari was bowled by scoring 27 runs off 30 balls. Swarna Akhtar (11) bowled by Ayabanga Khakar’s yorker. Bangladesh’s innings did not gain momentum even towards the end. Skipper Nigar Sultana scored 30 runs in the innings and was bowled in the seventeenth over. Bangladesh bowlers struggle a bit with little capital. South Africa could score only 43 runs in the first 10 overs. In between, Sobhana caught the Brits once, Shamima lost the opportunity to stump twice. Both the openers later increased the pace of runs. Woolvert scored a fifty off 48 balls. Brits need 51 balls to reach fifty. Ulvert ended the match by hitting Jahanara Alam with two consecutive fours. He scored 66 runs off 56 balls with 7 fours and a six. Brits scored 50 runs off 51 balls. South Africa will face England in the second semi-final on Friday. Earlier in the day, Australia and India will fight in the first semi-final. Bangladesh started the season with a 7-wicket loss against Sri Lanka. Then they lost by 8 wickets to Australia and 71 runs against New Zealand. The margin of defeat in the last match was even bigger.
