Bangladesh A Women Preview
Bangladesh A Women have been one of the standout teams in the tournament, finishing the round-robin stage unbeaten. Their success has largely been built on disciplined bowling and steady batting performances. Captain Fahima Khatun has led from the front, ensuring her side maintains composure under pressure.
In the batting department, Lata Mondal has been a key figure. Her 48 off 44 balls in the previous match highlighted her ability to anchor innings while rotating strike effectively. She has been well supported by Shamima Sultana and Sarmin Sultana, who can accelerate when required. Fahima Khatun’s contributions with both bat and ball add balance to the lineup.
Bowling remains Bangladesh A’s strongest suit. Fatema Jahan Sonia’s 3/10 demonstrated her ability to exploit Bangkok’s slow conditions. Shorifa Khatun, with five wickets in three matches, provides consistent breakthroughs. Farjana Easmin and Sadia Akter maintain tight lines, keeping scoring in check.
Bangladesh’s strategy revolves around posting defendable totals and strangling opponents through disciplined bowling. If their top order fires and bowlers maintain control, they have every chance to reach the final.

Bowling-wise, Anosha Nasir has impressed with six wickets in three matches, proving effective in middle overs. Waheeda Akhtar and Momina Riasat provide additional options, while Omaima Sohail contributes as a part-time bowler.
