Bangladesh to face India in women’s Asia Cup semi-finals. Negara Sultana is like an ordeal for Jyoti. However, the representatives of red and green want to enter the final by ‘winning the pressure’ against strong opponents.
The two teams will meet in Dambulla on Friday (July 25) at 2:30 PM Bangladesh time in the battle for the final. Earlier, Bangladesh lost all the last 5 matches against India.
All-rounder Nahida Akhter faces the media before the semi-final. According to him, semi-finals are always stressful, they want to overcome that and play well in all three categories. He said, ‘Semifinals are always pressure matches. If you do not win this match, you will be eliminated. We will try to do well in all three categories’.
Nahida is on the verge of a great milestone. If he takes one more wicket, he will see a century of wickets. But Nahida herself does not think about these milestones.
Nahida said, never thought that. I have always thought that whenever the team wants me, I want to play and give my best. I didn’t look for wickets.
‘Luck has to be on the side of the wicket. Alhamdulillah got 99 wickets. I will try to play more matches for the country so that I can do better’- added Nahida.
Bangladesh beat India to win the Asia Cup trophy on a golden afternoon in 2018. The cricketers also reminded that before leaving Dhaka. This time India is ahead before the final. Can Jyoti bring back those memories of Kuala Lumpur 6 years ago in Dambulla?
