Bangladesh Seal 3-0 Women's ODI Series Win Over Ireland, Boost Chances Of WC Qualification
Sylhet International Cricket Stadium: Sharmin Akhter and Fargana Hoque stitched a 143-run partnership as Bangladesh beat Ireland by seven wickets to win the series 3-0 and boost their chances of sealing a direct qualification for the 2025 ICC Women’s ODI World Cup.
Previously, Bangladesh’s spinners took all ten wickets as Ireland made 185 in their full quota of 50 overs. In defence of the total, they removed Murshida Khatun inside the first five overs. But Sharmin and Fargana’s 143-run partnership for the second wicket put Bangladesh on the path to victory.
Their stand set a new record for Bangladesh in women’s ODIs for any wicket, eclipsing the 127-run stand between Rumana Ahmed and Sharmin against South Africa in 2017. Sharmin hit 72 and continued her sublime form after making 96 and 43 previously. On the other hand, Fargana made 61, her third fifty in a row, as Bangladesh made light work of the chase.
