GUWAHATI: The White Ferns secured their first win in three matches, bowling out Bangladesh for 127 to seal a commanding 100-run victory.
The White Ferns had made early inroads in the powerplay, claiming three wickets to seize control of the contest. Openers Rubya Haider, Sharmin Akter and Shobhana Mostary fell for single-digit scores as the White Ferns applied pressure right from the start.
Sharmin was the first to depart bowled by a peach from Mair that snuck through the gap between bat and pad to rattle the stumps. Haider fell soon after, caught by Sophie Devine at mid off off before Kerr struck again with the final ball of the powerplay to remove Mostary. Bangladesh couldn’t stop the collapse as wickets kept tumbling, leaving them reeling at 33/6.
