Nigar Sultana Joty played a pivotal role, earning the Player of the Match award for her impressive 54 off 104.
In the second encounter, Bangladesh batted first but could only post 169/9. The bowling prowess of Sadia Iqbal and left-arm spinner Nashra Sandhu, each claiming two wickets, troubled the Tigresses. However, Pakistan faced an equally challenging task as they bowled out Bangladesh for the same score in 49.5 overs. The game intensified into a Super Over, where Bangladesh emerged victorious, chasing down a target of eight off the last ball.
