Marufa Akter was over the moon. It was the first over and the inswinger was coming out of her hands beautifully. The conditions on offer at the R Premadasa Stadium were excellent for the new ball and Akter made full use of that.

First, she bowled opener Omaima Sohail for a duck with an absolute ripper. The very next ball she bowled another sharp one to get No.3 batter Sidra Amin out for nought too. Akter's spell set the early tone as Pakistan were bowled out for a paltry 129 in 38.3 overs.

It was an easy chase for Bangladesh as they finished the job in 31.1 overs to claim a resounding seven-wicket win. This was only Bangladesh's second win at the World Cup, with their previous victory also coming against Pakistan in 2022.
