A target of 214 runs. Ajibadh's history would have been written only if it could be chased. But the statistics tell a different story. Bangladesh has never won by chasing more than 210 runs in ODI. So if this run can be topped, it could also be a new record. But none of that happened. On the contrary, Bangladesh lost the first ODI by 118 runs after being bowled out for 95 runs.
Bangladesh did not care about Australia
A target of 214 runs. Ajibadh's history would have been written only if it could be chased. But the statistics tell a different story. Bangladesh has never won by chasing more than 210 runs in ODI. So if this run can be topped, it could also be a new record. But none of that happened. On the contrary, Bangladesh lost the first ODI by 118 runs after being bowled out for 95 runs.
The shock came at the beginning of the Bangladesh innings. Experienced batsman Farzana Haque Pinky returned with the second ball before opening the run book. Pinky was bowled by an inswinging delivery by Megan Schutt. Healy was caught behind the wicket. Bangladesh stumbled for the second time in the eighth over. Ashley Gardner came to the bowling and returned Murshida Khatun with the second ball. Murshida, who scored 10 runs off 24 balls, was caught by Beth Mooney at slip.
From there, Jyoti and Sobhana made a partnership of 49 runs. After 70 to 75, five runs are not added and three wickets for Bangladesh. Started with the wicket of Sobahana Mostari. Sobhana failed to sweep the yorker delivery that fell outside the leg stump of Alana King. The ball turns and hits the stumps. Sobhana, who scored 17 runs off 38 balls, returned with a bowl.
After that, Fahima Khatun and Ritu Moni were both cut by Ajid's great fielding. Both were run out. Fahima returned on 71, Ritu on 75 with a direct throw from Beth Mooney. On one side, the silent audience is captain Jyoti.
Jyoti, trying to build resistance, played 64 balls with 4 boundaries at the crease for 27 runs, while his fate was the same as the previous two. Alyssa Healy's brilliant wicketkeeping has played a bigger role than Jyotir Alsemy. Healy broke the wicket with Annabelle Sutherland's throw in the last minute as Nirvar Jyoti stepped into the crease to take a sure run. In the replay, the result came against Jyoti. Jyoti's 27 runs are the highest innings for Bangladesh.
The rest of the batters could not handle the strong current of Jyoti Sajghar who left the team in a sea of danger after 83 runs. Under the pressure of asking rate, Kim Garth's ball went hard and gave Swarna a catch in the point region. It was captured by Phoebe Litchfield. Swarna returned with 6 runs off 22 balls. Rabeya Khan's 19-ball 5-run delivery broke the stumps after one over.
Bowling in place of King, Ashley Gardner made Sultana Khatun his second and Marufa Akhter his third victim in two balls. Bangladesh had to be all out for 95 runs in 36 overs.
