Pakistan and Bangladesh played out a low-scoring but gripping contest in Match 15 of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026.
After slipping to 13/3, Nigar Sultana Joty (36) and Sobhana Mostary (22) steadied the innings for Bangladesh.
Shorna Akter then provided the late charge, smashing 39* off 22 balls to lift Bangladesh to 123/6.
Pakistan's bowlers shared the workload well, with every bowler picking up a wicket and Fatima Sana returning 2/18.
In reply, Muneeba Ali (25) and Gull Feroza (23) gave Pakistan a strong start with a 49-run opening stand.
Nahida Akter removed both openers and later Fatima Sana, while Sanjida Akter Meghla struck three crucial blows.
Pakistan collapsed from 70/3 to 100/8 (20) as Bangladesh sealed an unlikely 23-run victory.
