The Bangladesh Under-19 Women’s Cricket Team kicked off their tri-series campaign on a triumphant note, securing a convincing 30-run victory over hosts Pakistan in Lahore on Friday (October 2, 2026).
Opting to bat first, Bangladesh recovered from an early top-order collapse to post a total of 117/8 in their allotted 20 overs. Top-order batters Maimuna Nahar (0), Achena Jannat (6), and captain Sadia Islam (12) departed cheaply, but a crucial unbeaten late-order charge by Sadia Akter (34*) and Nishita Akter Nishi (23) guided the team to a competitive total. Pakistan bowler Mahnoor Zaib took 3/21. In response, despite a steady start from opening batters Ravail Farhan (17) and Qomal Khan (29), Pakistan’s chase stalled against Bangladesh's disciplined bowling attack, restricting the hosts to 87/6 in 20 overs. Off-spinner Nishita Akter Nishi delivered a match-winning spell of 2/16 in 4 overs, supported by a wicket each from Farzana Yasmin, Afrin Khan, and Adrita Nowshin, sealing a decisive win on Pakistani soil.
