WT20 WC | Ritu and Shobhana shine as Bangladesh to topple Scotland to end 16-match losing streak
Bangladesh Women ended a 16-match losing streak in the T20 World Cup event by beating Scotland at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium, Sharjah. A 42-run second-wicket partnership set up a score of 119 runs that was well defended with 15 runs to spare despite a fighting 49 from Sarah Bryce.
In reply, Saskia Horley and Sarah Bryce kicked off the innings on a rough way with Fahima Khatun striking in the third over. The early introduction of spin did work well for the Tigresses as Katherine Bryce and Alisa Lister failed to convert their starts. With Priyanaz Chatterji and Darcey Carter departing in the 13th and 15th over, the scoreboard reflected 72/5 in 15 overs. Scotland could gather just 17 runs in the next three overs with 31 demanding off the last two overs. Despite Sarah going strong from one end, she failed out of support from the other end, eventually ending up 16 runs short of the target.

Good start from Shathi. Hasn't always come off but her intent is clear from ball One.
