Blue to take on Green in Bangladesh Games Women’s Cricket tomorrow
DHAKA, March 7, 2021 (BSS) – Emboldened by its victory in the first match,
Bangladesh Blue is determined to continue the winning streak in the 9th
Bangabandhu Bangladesh Games as they take on Bangladesh Green tomorrow
(Monday) at the Sylhet International Cricket Stadium.
Left-arm pacer Fariha Trishna claimed six wickets for just 14 runs in 10
overs in a dazzling bowling show as Blue thrashed Bangladesh Red by 10
wickets in the opening game.
Bangladesh Blue also showed an unwavering resolve in batting to win the
match, keeping all of the wickets intact.
While Blue kept them in the advantageous position to seal the final in the
three-team tournament by winning the first game, it would be Green’s opening
game in the tournament.
A win of Blue in the second game will confirm their final berth
straightway, making the Green’s match against Red an unofficial semifinal
game. The Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) formed three different teams, with
the players from the Bangladesh national women’s team and Under-19 women’s
team to take part in the tournament. The tournament was supposed to be held
in T20 format but with the South African team visiting Bangladesh later this
moment for a one-day series, the BCB made it to one-day format by discussing
with the Bangladesh Olympic Association.
The Bangabandhu Bangladesh Games will start from April 1. However with the
series against South Africa coinciding the Games, the women’s cricket
discipline, started earlier. Squad:
