Twitter Reacts as Bangladesh defeat India Women in the Asia Cup Final
It is to be noted that Bangladesh was trashed by Afghanistan in the three-match T20 series at Dehradun. This win will really boost the morale of the Bangladesh cricket who was going through a lean patch for some time. They were heartbroken earlier this year in the Nidahas trophy finals as they were blown away by Dinesh Karthik”s blitz.
Bangladesh men will be touring Westindies next month where they will play 2 tests, 3 ODI”s and T20I”s. Considering their positions in the ICC rankings both the teams will be looking to make the best use of the opportunity to come out with flying colours.
All eyes will be on their star bowlers Mustafizur Rahman who was ruled out due to an injury. However, the squads aren”t announced yet and it is expected to be out soon.
