Bangladeshi women cricketers make history
July 18th, 2007
Bangladesh overpowered Nepal by eight wickets to win the inaugural ACC Women’s Tournament in Johor Bahru. Tajkia Akhtar, Bangladesh’s captain, said: “It’s a victory for the whole nation and the cricket system.”
‘It’s a victory for the whole nation and the cricket system,’ captain Tajkia told reporters after the match.
‘This is a tremendous success for our women cricketers. They did not play in any international tournament previously and also had a very short preparation. Still they managed to win the trophy, which was beyond our expectations. I congratulate the team,’ said Rafiqul Islam, the acting general-secretary of the Bangladesh Cricket Board.
Bangladesh had defeated UAE (10 wickets), Singapore (10 wickets), China (86 runs), Hong Kong (59 runs) on way to reaching the final. In the process, they bowled UAE out for only nine runs, which is a world record in any standard of international cricket.
