Despite dominating the T20 series against hosts Sri Lanka, the Bangladesh Women's 'A' team suffered a disappointing defeat in the final match on Tuesday. The loss, however, did not diminish their overall performance throughout the series, which served as a valuable preparation for the upcoming Women's T20 World Cup.
In the decisive match, Sri Lanka posted a competitive total of 124 runs. Bangladesh's batting faltered in response, with several key wickets falling at crucial moments. Despite efforts from Shamima Sultana and Swarna Akhtar, the Tigresses were ultimately unable to chase down the target, falling short by 24 runs.
While the defeat was a setback, Bangladesh's overall performance in the series was impressive, highlighting their potential and determination. The team's strong showing bodes well for their chances in the upcoming Women's T20 World Cup.
