The Tigers face Australia in their first World Cup match in South Benoni on Saturday. Batting earlier in the match, however, the Aussi women did not do too badly. Ajira threw a challenging target of 131 runs in front of the Tigers. Of course, Bangladesh chased that goal with a smile. In the end, the World Cup got off to a great start as they won by 7 wickets.

Dilara Akhtar scored the highest run for Bangladesh chasing the target. The opener played a solid inning of 40 runs from 42 balls before returning to the dressing room. Apart from this, Afia Humaira, Swarna Akhtar and Sumaiya Akhtar have contributed well. However, the man of the match award went to Dilara. He is also the best player in the opening match of the World Cup.

This time another U-19 World Cup in the country. Although the format is different. However, there is an opportunity for women to repeat the history of men.
