Pink's Regret Mirrors Soumya's: Centuries in Vain as Bangladesh Faces Defeat
In a tale reminiscent of Soumya Sarkar's situation, New Zealand had to succumb to a 7-wicket defeat despite setting a record target of 292 runs, propelled by Soumya's outstanding innings after a five-year century drought. Similarly, Farzana Haque Pink found herself in a position of regret yesterday.
In a scenario where a century is often considered the 'golden deer' for Bangladesh's female cricketers, Pinky achieved this milestone for the second time in her career. However, her century proved futile as Bangladesh posted 222 runs for 4 wickets, only to witness South Africa secure victory with 8 wickets and 29 balls to spare.
Despite amassing a formidable total in batting, Bangladeshi bowlers failed to present a competitive challenge. The Proteas' openers, Laura Volvert and Tazmin Britts, formed a commanding opening partnership, scoring 106 runs in Potchefstroom. Although Fahima Khatun and Ritu Moni managed to dismiss two batters in two consecutive balls, South Africa's new pair, Anneke Bosch and Sune Luz, thwarted their efforts.
An unbroken partnership of 117 runs for the third wicket sealed an 8-wicket victory for South Africa, rendering Pinky's brilliant century ineffectual. The opener played an innings of 102 runs off 167 balls, featuring 11 fours but no sixes. Unfortunately, her century did not contribute to Bangladesh's success, leading to their defeat in the match.
