Spin Twins' Magic: A Historic Feat

That's right, FIVE wickets each! This is a rare achievement, only the second time in ODI cricket history that two bowlers have achieved this in the same innings. The first time was way back in 1977.

Key Stats:

  • Jannatul Ferdus: 5 wickets for 7 runs in 5 overs - unbelievable figures!
  • Fahima Khatun: 5 wickets for 21 runs in 8.5 overs - another top-class performance!

Nigar Sultana, the captain, was over the moon, saying it was “inspiring for the team.” And honestly, how can you not be inspired by a performance like that?

Sultana's Century and a Massive Score

While the spin twins were stealing the show, let's not forget the brilliant batting display. Captain Nigar Sultana smashed a fantastic century – a well-deserved 101 off 80 balls! Bangladesh posted a massive score of 271, their highest ODI score ever! Sharmin Akhter was not out on 94 and Fargana Hoque contributed with 53 runs. This was a complete team performance.

Dominant Victory: Biggest Win Ever

Bangladesh didn’t just win; they crushed Thailand. They bowled them out for a mere 93 runs, securing a massive victory by 178 runs – their biggest win ever in terms of runs in this format! That is pure dominance, folks.

Player Reactions and the Game Plan

Fahima Khatun shared that she was feeling confident she could pick up wickets from the start. Jannatul Ferdus mentioned that she hadn’t expected to take five wickets, but was focused on keeping it simple. Sultana's goal was to get the team past 250, and they exceeded her expectations. This proves that a well-executed plan and positive mindset really makes a difference on the field, right?
