England Dominates with Ball, Dismisses Bangladesh for 178 in Women's World Cup

Guwahati, Oct 7 (PTI) England's disciplined bowling unit successfully dismissed Bangladesh for 178 runs in their Women's World Cup clash on Tuesday. Opting to bat first, Bangladesh found themselves struggling at 59 for three until Sobhana Mostary anchored the innings with a composed 60 off 108 deliveries. However, regular fall of wickets hindered their progress, with Rabeya Khan providing a late innings boost. Her 43 off 27 balls, which included one six and six boundaries, offered some respectability to the total. Sharmin Akhter managed a contribution of 30 off 52 balls at the top of the order, but skipper Nigar Sultana was dismissed without scoring. England's efficient bowling was led by Sophie Ecclestone with figures of 3 for 24. Additionally, Charlie Dean with 2 for 28, Linsey Smith taking 1 for 22, Lauren Bell with 1 for 28, and Alice Capsey bagging 2 for 31 supported the bowling effort effectively. Brief Scores: Bangladesh Women: 178 all out in 49.4 overs (Sobhana Mostary 60, Rabeya Khan 43; Sophie Ecclestone 3/24, Charlie Dean 2/28).
