GUWAHATI: After suffering consecutive losses at the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup, Bangladesh are turning their focus to finding solutions — particularly with the bat — ahead of a crucial clash against South Africa in Visakhapatnam on Monday.
Bangladesh began their campaign brightly with a victory over Pakistan but have since slipped outside the top four after defeats to England and New Zealand. The back-to-back setbacks have put pressure on their upcoming fixtures, especially with little turnaround time before facing a resurgent South African side.
Despite the team’s struggles, Rabeya Khan has been one of the few shining lights in Bangladesh’s recent outings. The 19-year-old all-rounder impressed again in their 100-run defeat to New Zealand, returning figures of 3/30 off 10 overs and contributing 25 off 39 balls with the bat. Yet, she didn’t shy away from acknowledging where things went wrong.
