Bangladesh Women tears apart Ireland Women's batting lineup

Bangladesh Women made a strong statement in their inaugural ODI series against Ireland Women, securing a convincing 154-run victory in the opening match.

The hosts laid the foundation for the win with a formidable batting performance. Fargana Hoque anchored the innings with a patient 61-run knock, while Sharmin Akhter (96) and Nigar Sultana (28) provided the fireworks. 

Bangladesh finished their innings on a strong note, posting a challenging total of 252/4. In reply, Ireland struggled to get going. Marufa Akter made holes in the batting lineup with the new ball. 

Sarah Forbes and Orla Prendergast tried to resist, but the consistent pressure from the Bangladesh bowlers, particularly Nahida Akter (3/23) and Sultana Khatun (3/23), proved too much for the Irish batters. Ultimately, Ireland were bowled out for 98 runs within 28.5 overs, handing Bangladesh an easy victory.
