WATCH: Nashra Sandhu gets out in bizarre fashion against Bangladesh

COLOMBO: Pakistan’s right-handed batter Nashra Sandhu got out in the most bizarre manner during their clash against Bangladesh here at the R Premadasa International Cricket Stadium on Thursday.

The 27-year-old was bowled on the second delivery of the 35th over off Shorna Akter’s flighted delivery outside off stump.

Sandhu tried to play the ball in the crease and ended up losing her wicket with the bat hitting the stumps.

Sandhu’s dismissal highlighted Pakistan’s struggles with the bat as they failed to post a respectable total against Bangladesh’s clinical bowling performance.

After opting to bat first, Pakistan’s innings folded on a mere 129 runs in 38.3 overs, courtesy of Marufa Akter and Nahida Akter’s opening spells.

Both combined to pick up four wickets each and dismantled Pakistan’s top-order, which set the tone for the other bowlers to tighten the screws and never allow to play with freedom.

In reply, Bangladesh chased down the total with ease in 31.1 overs, losing three wickets in the process.

Rubya Haider starred with the bat and scored  54* from 77 balls, laced with eight fours.

For Pakistan, like batting, there weren’t major contributions. Rameen Shamim, Diana Baig, and Fatima Sana picked up one wicket each.
