On the other hand, despite Bangladesh’s first win, there is doubt over its progress. After losing the toss, Nigar Sultana’s team bowled lethally and restricted Thailand’s team to just 96 runs. Bangladesh, chasing the target, scored 100 runs in 17.3 overs at the loss of 3 wickets on the basis of Murshida Khatun’s fifty and achieved its first victory.
