Nigar Sultana Eyes Historic Win As Bangladesh Open Women's T20 World Cup 2024
T20 World Cup: As the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2024 approaches, Bangladesh captain Nigar 'Joty' Sultana has her sights set on rewriting history for her team. The tournament will kick off with Bangladesh facing Scotland on October 3 in Sharjah, and Joty is determined to lead her side to their first win in the competition since 2014.
It has been a decade since Bangladesh last tasted victory at the Women's T20 World Cup, defeating Ireland in a ninth-place playoff in Sylhet. Since then, the team has participated in four World Cup editions, playing 16 games without a win. For Joty, who has been part of every World Cup since 2014, this is a trend she is eager to change.
"I have played four [T20] World Cups, but we have never won a game," Joty shared during a pre-tournament press conference at the Sher-E-Bangla Stadium in Dhaka. "The last time we won was in 2014. We have played well in previous editions, but playing well only means something when you can win."
