DHAKA, Oct 3, 2024 (BSS)-Bangladesh Women's team compiled 119-7 against
Scotland in their first match of the Women's T20 World Cup at Sharjah Cricket
Stadium in United Arab Emirates (UAE) today.

Sobhana Mostary made team-best 36 while opener Sathi Rani scored 29. On his
100th T20 International game as the first Bangladeshi female batter, captain
Nigar Sultana Joty made 18.

The Tigresses so far won just one match in T20 World Cup and that too came in
2014 when they hosted the marquee tournament.

Since that event, Bangladesh played four more editions in this tournament but
found them in losing end every time. In those four editions, they played 16
matches in total but the victory remained elusive.

However they won all four matches they played against Scotland. This is the
first time the two teams met in T20 World Cup.
