The promise of giving their best in the Asia Cup was in the voice of Nigar Sultana Jyoti, the captain of the Bangladesh women’s cricket team. But they could not show it in the field game. It made the path to the semi-finals a bit difficult. Even if we win against Malaysia today, we have to look at the equation.
Today, Wednesday (July 24) at 2:30 PM, Bangladesh will take the field against Malaysia in their last match in the group stage. Bangladesh must win this match to go to the semi-finals. At the same time, we have to look at the other match of our group.
Bangladesh made the equation difficult by losing to Sri Lanka in their first match. In the second match, Thailand was defeated by 7 wickets, but the road was not without thorns! After winning against Malaysia in the third match of the group stage today, Bangladesh will have to keep an eye on the Sri Lanka-Thailand match.
Looking at the equation, it can be seen that Bangladesh is number 3 in the points list of ‘B’ group with 1 win and 1 loss in 2 matches. Thailand leads the net run rate with equal 2 points. If Bangladesh beat Malaysia today and Thailand lose against Sri Lanka, then Bangladesh will go directly to the semi-finals.
However, the chances of Thailand winning against Sri Lanka are slim. Jyotira can see the light of hope here. But if somehow Thailand wins, then the run rate calculation will come forward. In that case, as Thailand is ahead, Bangladesh can be dismissed from the tournament.
