Yesterday was an achievement day for Bangladesh cricket. On this day, the men's and women's cricket teams of Bangladesh have brought two good news at the same time. First of all, Bangladesh women's team won for the first time in the one-day format against the Indian national team. Mahmuda's team won by 40 runs. Secondly, Bangladesh's national men's team won the T20 series against Afghanistan for the first time. Shakib Al Hasan-led Bangladesh won the series by 2-0 with a 6-wicket win in yesterday's match.
Let's discuss the ODI match between Bangladesh and India women's teams first. Recently, India National Women's Team visited Bangladesh to play ODI and T20 series. The T20 series between the two teams has already been held. Where the Indian National Women's Team clinched the series by winning two out of three matches. Bangladesh won the last match by four wickets. However, Bangladesh women's team had a chance to win the series. But they failed to capitalize on that opportunity. In the 2nd T20 match, the team had to lose by eight runs despite creating a great opportunity to win!
The women's teams of the two countries met yesterday in the first match of the ODI series after T20. Bangladesh girls managed to score 152 runs after losing all the wickets by batting at the start of the rain-hit match. Everyone thought that the girls of India would easily chase this run and win, But they weren't able to chase this 152 runs to win. Bangladesh women's team won by 40 runs thanks to the amazing bowling of Bangladeshi bowler Marufa Akhtar. This is Bangladesh's women's team's first ODI win against India's women's team. So it's a new history!
This time we can discuss about the T20 series between the men's cricket team of Bangladesh and Afghanistan. Some days ago, the Afghanistan team came to Bangladesh to play ODI and T20 series. Afghanistan won the ODI series by a margin of 2-1.
After the ODI series, the two teams face off in a two-match T-20 series. According to the team, Afghanistan was the favorite in this series. Although the series was held on Bangladesh soil, Bangladesh's poor performance in the ODI series after that speaks for the Afghans. But in the end, Bangladesh's national men's cricket team set a record for winning the T20 series for the first time against Afghanistan with a great performance on the field.
In the first T20 match between the two teams, Bangladesh won by just two wickets. In the 2nd match, the Bangladeshi batsmen crossed the target of 119 runs given by Afghanistan with five balls in hand. As a result, Captain Shakib Al Hasan's team won the series by six wickets. All in all, this day was well spent by Bangladeshi cricketers!
