The Bangladesh U-19 women's cricket team is set to compete against India in the final of the ACC U-19 Women's Asia Cup on Sunday in Malaysia.
Bangladesh's journey to the final showcased their resilience and skill as they secured victories against Sri Lanka, Malaysia, and Nepal, overcoming a single setback against India in the Super Four stage.
Their campaign began with a strong 28-run win over Sri Lanka, with Nishita Akter Nishi shining with the ball, taking two wickets for just 16 runs.
In their second match, Bangladesh crushed hosts Malaysia with a dominant 120-run victory, highlighted by Jannatul Maoua’s stellar unbeaten 45 off 45 balls.
Although they faced their only defeat of the tournament against India, the team rebounded impressively. In their final Super Four match, they dismantled Nepal with a commanding nine-wicket victory, ensuring their spot in the championship game.
The final promises to be an exciting rematch, with Bangladesh aiming to avenge their earlier loss to India and secure the title.
