Guwahati, Oct 7
Sobhana Mostary stood tall amid Bangladesh’s batting collapse, crafting a fighting half-century, but her effort wasn’t enough as the side was bundled out for 178 in 49.4 overs after being asked to bat first against England Women in their Women’s World Cup clash at Baraspara Stadium in Guwahati.
England’s spinners once again proved decisive. Sophie Ecclestone led the attack with 3 for 24 from her 10 overs, while Smith, Dean, and Alice Capsey (2-31) took two wickets each. Their combined effort ensured Bangladesh were restricted to a below-par total, setting up England for a comfortable chase to secure their second win of the tournament.
Brief scores:
Bangladesh 178 all out in 49.4 overs (Sobhana Mostary 60, Rabeya Khan 43 not out; Sophie Ecclestone 3-24, Charlie Dean 2-28) against England
