Mirpur, July 23 (Ians) Bangladesh batter Fargana Hoque has admitted that she gained inspiration from her male counterparts as she created history by becoming the first women from her country to score an Odi century in the thrilling third and final match, here.
Fargana battled cramps and a sore forearm when scoring a superb 107 during an exciting tied contest on Saturday, with the right-hander claiming the Player of the Series award for her efforts in helping Bangladesh register a 1-1 tie with India.
The experienced batter had come in at No.3 during the first two matches of the series, but a promotion to the top of the order in the final clash saw the 30-year-old struck the first century by a Bangladesh player in women’s Odi cricket.

Dhaka, July 19 (Ians) Before being handed the ball in defence of 228 in the second women’s Odi against Bangladesh in the 30th over, Jemimah Rodrigues had taken only one wicket in the format.
But with the spin-aiding pitch having extra bounce to work with, Jemimah took four wickets, giving only three runs in 3.1 overs to bowl out Bangladesh for 120, giving India a massive 108-run win and helped them level the three-game series 1-1.
Jemimah also became the first India women’s cricketer to take four wickets and score a fifty in the same Odi match.
“I just wanted to pitch the ball in the right area and allow the surface to do the rest. Glad that the captain believed in me,” said Jemimah after winning the Player of the match award for her all-round performance, which included a career-best effort of 86 with the bat.

Dhaka, July 16 (Ians) After suffering their first-ever defeat in ODIs to Bangladesh, India skipper Harmanpreet Kaur rued the extra runs leaked by her bowlers and the lack of responsibility shown by her batting line-up.
Electing to bowl first, debutant Amanjot Kaur took four wickets as India restricted Bangladesh to 152 in 43 overs, with the game being reduced to 44 overs a side due to a two-hour rain interruption, though they did concede a whopping 19 extras.
In a chase of 154 according to the Dls method, pacer Marufa Akter struck twice in the start and middle overs respectively to pick 4-29 while leg-spinner Rabeya Khan took 3-30 to bowl out India for just 113 in 35.3 overs, giving Bangladesh a 1-0 lead in three-game series.

Dhaka, July 13 (Ians) Bangladesh on Thursday recalled opening batter Sharmin Akhter into the Odi squad for the three-match women’s series against India, starting from July 16 at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium.
Sharmin last played international cricket during Bangladesh’s tour of New Zealand in December 2022 and was out of the team since then. In 33 ODIs, she has scored 560 runs, including three half-centuries.
Apart from Sharmin, youngsters Shorna Akter, Marufa Akter and veteran Salma Khatun have been included in the 17-member Odi squad too. But there is still no place for fast bowler Jahanara Alam, who was also overlooked for the recent T20I series against India, which Bangladesh lost 2-1.
The three ODIs between India and Bangladesh are part of the 2022-25 Icc Women’s Odi Championship cycle, with a start of 9:30am local time. The cycle is contested between ten teams to determine qualification for the 2025 Women’s Cricket World Cup,...

Dhaka, July 13 (Ians) After losing third and final T20I to Bangladesh by four wickets, India captain Harmanpreet Kaur admitted that the batting collapse in the middle prevented them from reaching the total they were expecting at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium on Thursday.
Despite Harmanpreet top-scoring with 40 and looking as the only Indian batter to apply herself to the slow conditions, the visitors suffered a horror slump from 91/3 to 102/9, losing their last six wickets for just 11 runs, as Bangladesh chased it down with 10 balls to spare.
“On this wicket, we need to depend on singles. Our batting collapsed; we could not get even six runs an over. The five overs were the game-changer. We did not get the total we were expecting,” said Harmanpreet in the post-match presentation ceremony.
The Indian skipper also appreciated Bangladesh for their alertness in chasing and not allowing India to break free.

Dhaka, July 13 (Ians) Spinners shined bright to restrict India to a below-par 102/9, before Shamima Sultana top-scored with 42 to give Bangladesh a consolation four-wicket victory in the third and final T20I at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium, here on Thursday.
Though the series ended 2-1 in India’s favour, Bangladesh finally managed to get a win over the visitors for just the third time in women’s T20Is.
Chasing 103, opener Shamima was steering Bangladesh’s chase on yet another slow pitch with a 46-ball 42. Though a collapse took place in the middle overs, Sultana Khatun’s 12, along with Nahida Akter’s 10 not out and Ritu Moni’s unbeaten seven runs meant Bangladesh got over the line with ten balls to spare, thus avoiding a series clean sweep at home.

Dhaka, July 11 (Ians) Sensational by their spinners helped India beat Bangladesh by eight runs in a thrilling second T20I and take an unbeatable 2-0 lead in the three-match series at Shere Bangla National Stadium, here on Tuesday.
After winning the toss and opting to bat first, India had a few batters getting starts but neither could convert, eventually posting only 95 for 8 in 20 overs — their lowest total in T20Is against Bangladesh.
Having a low total on the board, Deepti Sharma (3-12) and Minnu Mani (2-9) spun a web around Bangladesh and shared five wickets between them to keep Bangladesh in check before Shafali Verma cleaned up three tailenders in the final over to finish with 3-15 and bowling out the hosts for 87 runs.
In the run chase, Pooja Vastrakar gave 10 runs in the first over of the innings, which turned out to be the only over of fast bowling in India’s defence.

Cape Town, Feb 22 (Ians) Hosts South Africa reached the semi-finals of the Icc Womens T20 World Cup 2023 with a thumping 10-wicket win over Bangladesh in their last group game, here on Tuesday night.
The Proteas made heavy weather of chasing down a modest target of 114 set by Bangladesh, powered by their outstanding captain Nigar Sultana Joty’s 30. The hosts chased the target with 13 balls to spare as Laura Wolvaardt and Tazmin Brits chiselled out their team’s first half-centuries of the tournament when it mattered most.
It means Sune Luus’s side are the first South African team — male or female, junior or senior — to reach the final four of a major Icc event staged on their soil. They face an unbeaten and dangerous England team in Friday’s semi-final in Cape Town.

Cape Town, Feb 17 (Ians) New Zealand kept their faint hopes of reaching the semifinals alive with an emphatic 71-run win over Bangladesh in the Icc Women’s T20 World Cup at the Newlands here on Friday.
Suzie Bates’s superb 81 runs set the White Ferns on their way to a first victory of the Icc Women’s T20 World Cup 2023, validating their decision to bat first with a tournament-high 189 for three in their 20 overs.
That proved far too much for the Tigresses, whose chances of a miraculous victory fell away after losing two wickets early in their reply, as they stuttered to 118 for eight.
Needing a big win to stand a chance of progressing to the last four, New Zealand opted for a hit-and-run approach from the off. Bernadine Bezuidenhout started the innings with purpose, guiding a wide and fullish first ball from Marufa Akter down to the third-man boundary.

The eternal combination of music with films and stars, many a times their fate intertwined, with each giving a boost to the other, is considered a hallmark of Indian movies. This has been the tradition of almost all films produced in India – since the humble beginning made with “Raja Harishchandra” (1913) by the venerable Father of Indian Cinema, Dhundiraj Govind ‘Dadasaheb’ Phalke.
Among the sackful of musical blockbusters churned out by Bollywood, one of the front-rankers is K Asif’s National Award winner “Mughal-e-Azam” (1960) with a dozen unforgettable scores by the Master of the Baton, Naushad Ali. Surprisingly, this all-time megabuster did not see Dilip Kumar, the winsome Prince Salim, singing a single song on the silver screen.
All the 12 songs in “Mughal-e-Azam” were left to other characters such as the besotted Madhubala (Anarkali) and the jealous Bahar Begum (Nigar Sultana), a wandering soothsayer, or royal court musician Tansen, in the...

Sylhet (Bangladesh) Oct 8 (Ians) Shafali Verma hit her first T20I fifty since March 2021 and picked two wickets with her off-spin while stand-in captain Smriti Mandhana came out all guns blazing to set up India’s 59-run thrashing of hosts and defending champions Bangladesh in Women’s Asia Cup at Sylhet International Cricket Stadium on Saturday.
Electing to bat first, Shafali (55) and Smriti (47) shared a 96-run stand for the first wicket in 12 overs. Though Bangladesh made a fightback by taking out the duo and took some scalps in the end, Jemimah Rodrigues ensured India didn’t throw away the momentum brought in by the openers with an unbeaten 35 off 24 balls.
The trio’s efforts meant India posted 159/5 in 20 overs, just 24 hours after they were bowled out for 124 and suffered a shock 13-run loss to Pakistan. In reply, Bangladesh were never in the hunt to chase 160 from the word go, as they made 51/1 in the powerplay.

Sylhet (Bangladesh), Oct 1 (Ians) Leg-spinner Rumana Ahmed ripped through Thailand’s middle order with three wickets while Shamima Sultana hit a 30-ball 49 to help Bangladesh register a nine-wicket win in their first match of Women’s Asia Cup at the Sylhet Outer Cricket Stadium on Saturday.
The defending champions made great use of the pitch offering low turn and keeping low bounce to bowl out Thailand for just 82 in 19.4 overs. Then, on the back of Shamima’s efforts, they were able to chase down the total inside 12 overs, with 50 balls remaining.
In Thailand’s paltry total, Phannita Maya was the pick of the batters with a 22-ball 26 laced with three boundaries. She looked to take a positive approach from the word go and tried to take on the bowlers as well.
But she got little support from the other end as Nattakan Chantam could only make 20 while Sornnarin Tippoch and...
