Navigating a tough spell on Australian soil, the Tigresses suffered an early top-order collapse, losing openers Fargana Hoque and Sharmin Sultana to Megan Schutt in the opening overs. A brief recovery attempt by Sharmin Akhter (24 off 26) and captain Nigar Sultana Joty (29 off 86) provided stability, but slow run-rates kept pressure on the middle order. Ritu Moni anchored the lower order with a resilient team-high 45 off 63 balls, featuring five boundaries, pushing the score past the 150-mark alongside support from Shorna Akter (21). For the hosts, all-rounder Annabel Sutherland led the bowling attack with figures of 4/30, while Megan Schutt delivered a tight spell of 2/19 across 10 overs, including four maiden overs.
