India A crush hapless BD

The Bangladesh women's A team suffered an eight-wicket hammering at the hands of their Indian counterparts in the first of a three-match one-day series at the Zahur Ahmed Chowdhury Stadium in Chattogram yesterday.

Electing to bat, Bangladesh could only score 104 in 45.3 overs before being bundled out. The home side never looked comfortable as only four batters could attain double figure scores. Nigar Sultana and Fahima Khatun were the top contributors, each scoring 17.

After the exchange, an unbeaten 108-ball 51 from opener Nuzhat Parveen helped India romp to victory in just 37.5 overs with eight wickets to spare.
