Sri Lanka clinch berth at Commonwealth Games 2022, defeat Bangladesh in Qualifier’s final
Sri Lanka women beat Bangladesh Women in winners’ take all round-robin clash at the Commonwealth Games 2022 Global Qualifier event hosted at the Kinrara Oval in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. This was the last round-robin clash of the tournament which began on January 18 and was played by five teams to find one team which will be part of history as women’s cricket would be included for the first time in the Commonwealth Games during Birmingham 2022. Apart from Sri Lanka and Bangladesh, Scotland, Kenya and hosts Malaysia also participated in the qualifying tournament. Before the final games, both Sri Lanka and Bangladesh had won three matches each and thus the last game became a virtual final. In this match, the Lankan skipper Chamari Athapaththu won the toss and decided to bat first. It was thanks to her innings of 48 off just 28 balls, coupled with those of Nilakshi Silva’s 28 and wicket-keeper batter Anushka Sanjeewani’s 20 that the Sri Lanka women reached a competitive total of 136 in its 20 overs. In reply, the Bangladeshi women started in a slow fashion as Murshida Khatun and Fragana Haque built a 50 run stand for the second wicket but fell way below the required run rate. The pressure started mounting and as a result, the team lost wickets in quick intervals at the wrong time as it went from 93-2 to 11-5 very quickly. In the end, Bangladesh could only make 114 at the loss of five wickets in their quota of 20 overs, eventually losing the match by 22 runs. Sri Lanka would now join hosts England, New Zealand and South Africa in Group A of the quadrennial event. In Group B Australia, India and Pakistan made it through on the virtue of the ICC rankings in the T20 format while Barbados was given the seat at the event to represent the West Indies as the West Indies cricket team represents a group of islands in the Caribbean seas instead of one nation. For Sri Lanka this victory also acts as a balm as it missed out on the World Cup 2022 berth on the virtue of rankings as the qualifier event for that was cancelled due to Omicron spread in Zimbabwe. This will only be the second time that cricket will feature in the Commonwealth Games after a men's 50-over competition that was played in Kuala Lumpur Games in 1998. However, the difference between that and this is the fact that this event will be contested in the shortest format i.e. T20 and only women's teams will take part in it.
Bangladesh Women seal series with comfortable win over Zimbabwe
Bangladesh Women’s preparation for the ICC Women’s World Cup 2022 Qulaifuers to be held in Zimbabwe from November 21 is on target as they beat hosts Zimbabwe by nine wickets in the second ODI to take an unassailable lead in the three-match ODI series taking place between the two teams at Queens Sports Club in Bulawayo. The Bangladesh Women had beaten the hosts in the first ODI by eight wickets. Chasing a modest target of 122, Bangladesh opener Murshida Khatun rose to the occasion and hit her maiden ODI fifty to anchor the chase. Thanks to her unbeaten 51 off 66 balls and experienced Fargana Hoque’s 53 off 68 balls, the total was chased in the 25th over itself. For Zimbabwe, Esther Mbofana picked the lone wicket. Earlier in the day, after winning the toss, Zimbabwe captain Mary-Anne Musonda decided to bat first. Her decision did not pay dividends as opener Sharne Mayers was out for a golden duck. Her partner Modester Mupachikwa tried to wage the lone battle as wickets kept falling at the other end. However, as soon as she was joined in at the wicket by Nyasha Gwanzura at the wicket, who would go on to top score for the women in red, the former got out leaving the Zimbabwe batting in a precarious position. Gwanzura tried her level best and with the help of her unbeaten 35 and 14 from Mbofana, got her team to 121 in the 47th over. For Bangladesh, Nahida Akter picked three wickets while Jahanara Alam and Salma Khatun picked two each.
