Tigresses thru to final following narrow victory

Bangladesh women's team made it to the final of the Women's T20 Quadrangular Series in Patna, beating Thailand women by two wickets courtesy of a breezy knock from Fahima Khatun.

Chasing only 121 for victory, Bangladesh lost a number of wickets at the end to make their task difficult. Shamima Sultana's 37-ball 38 had carried them to 91 in 16.1 overs before she fell leg before in the 17th over. Soon Bangladesh went from 91 for 2 to 112 for eight with three wickets falling in the 19th over.

Fahima hit four boundaries in the last over to remain unbeaten on a 13-ball 28 and secure passage to the final. Bangladesh will play India B Women in the final in Patna on Wednesday.
