Needing 12 runs off 12 balls to win the match, with 6 wickets in hand. Bangladesh’s victory was just a matter of waiting! Yet Nigar Sultana Jyotira showed how to lose from this situation. Bangladesh women’s team lost by losing 5 wickets in the last 9 balls.

Bangladesh lost to Sri Lanka by 7 runs in the World Cup match in Mumbai. Batting first, Sri Lanka could only score 202 runs with Hasini Perera’s bat. Bangladesh was on the way to victory with that run to spare. Sharmin Akhtar Supta and Nigar Sultana Jyoti took the team on that path. But no one could do the last.

When 12 runs were needed in the last two overs, Ritu Moni was out in the fourth ball after Sugandhika Kumari got 2 runs off the first 3 balls.

Chamari Atapattur bowled the last over and the wickets fell in the first 4 balls. Of these, Chamari took 3 wickets and Nahida Akhtar was run out. Bangladesh’s last hope, captain Jyoti, took a catch and the team was plunged into darkness.
