Bangladesh Achieves Second Women's World Cup Win Beating Pakistan

News summary

In the ICC Women's World Cup 2025 match at Colombo, Bangladesh secured a commanding seven-wicket victory over Pakistan, largely propelled by standout performances from young pacer Marufa Akter and batter Rubya Haider. Marufa Akter made a significant impact with the new ball, dismissing Pakistan's two key batters, Omaima Sohail and Sidra Amin, both for ducks in the opening over, helping bowl Pakistan out for a low total of 129 runs. The disciplined bowling attack was further strengthened by Nahida Akter and Shorna Akter, who took crucial wickets to maintain pressure on Pakistan throughout their innings. Bangladesh's chase was steadied by Rubya Haider, who scored an unbeaten 54, forming a vital 62-run partnership with captain Nigar Sultana that shifted momentum decisively in Bangladesh's favor. Despite a cautious start, Rubya's controlled aggression and timely boundaries, especially in the 19th over, accelerated the run chase, allowing Bangladesh to reach the target comfortably with more than 18 overs to spare. This victory marked Bangladesh's second win in a Women's World Cup, highlighting their growing prowess and raising hopes for further success in the tournament.
