Pakistan Women Under-19 devoured hosts Bangladesh in the fifth youth T20 to clinch the five-match series 3-2. Teenage spinner Rozina Akram and fast bowler Barira Saif picked up three wickets each in the decider, before Fizza Fiaz notched up the winning runs for the visitors alongside Areesha Ansari.

Here, we take a look at the entire highlights of the five-match T20 series between Bangladesh Women Under-19 and Pakistan Women Under-19, as it panned out at the Sheikh Kamal Stadium in Cox’s Bazar on Friday, December 12.

Rozina Akram, Barira Saif skittle Bangladesh for just 84

Bangladesh Under-19 Women batted first and bundled out for just 84 in 19.1 overs. Sadia Akter at number six herself accounted for nearly a third of her team’s total through her run-a-ball 27. With no other Bangladeshi batter managing to breach the double-digits, the next biggest benefactor of the innings were 13 extras.

For Pakistan Under-19 Women, off-spinner Rozina Akram and fast bowler Barira Saif both claimed figures of 3-16 in their respective spells, while Memoona Khalid and Shahar Bano chipped in with a wicket each.

Chasing 85, Pakistan Under-19 women’s captain and opener Eman Naseer fell for a two-ball duck in the first over to Otoshi Mojumder. Komal Khan made 25 runs from 46 balls with three boundaries, and Aqsa Habib at number four also listed 21 off 23 with two fours and a six to extinguish Bangladesh Under-19’s final hopes.

Fizza Fiaz (18* off 14) and Areesha Ansari (7* off 10) both crafted an unbroken 16-run partnership after middle-overs strikes from Farjana Easmin and Habiba Islam to take Pakistan home with six wickets and three overs remaining to seal the five-match series 3-2.
