The emphatic win propels Bangladesh into the tournament final, where they will face India “A” in a highly anticipated title clash on Sunday. For Pakistan, bowlers kept things tight early, but Bangladesh managed to eke out enough runs to set a defendable target. Despite periodic breakthroughs, no other Bangladeshi batter supported Fahima with significant scores, leaving the final total below par on paper but competitive in the context of the slow pitch. Other bowlers including Fariha Trisna, Farjana Easmin, and Fatema Jahan supported in restricting Pakistan’s batting depth. Bangladesh’s comprehensive victory reflects their growing strength in women’s cricket and sets up a compelling final against tournament favourites India.
