Women's World Cup: Fifties By Sharmin, Shorma Help Bangladesh Reach 232/6 V South Africa
ODI World Cup: Contrasting half-centuries by Sharmin Akhter and Shorma Akter and a fiery cameo by Ritu Moni helped Bangladesh post a competitive 232/6 in their 50 overs against South Africa in the Women's ODI World Cup at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium in Visakhapatnam on Monday.
Sharmin Akhter scored 50 off 77 balls (6x4) to lay the foundation, while Shorma Akter hammered an unbeaten 51 off 35 (3x4, 3x6) to give late impetus. Ritu Moni blasted 19 off eight balls at the end as Bangladesh started slow but finished in a canter to post a respectable total.
It was excruciatingly slow going for Bangladesh on electing to bat first as they crawled to 100/2 in 30 overs with Sharmin Akhter and skipper Nigar Sultana Joty holding fort in the middle-overs.
