The Bangladesh Women's cricket team suffered a dramatic seven-run defeat against Sri Lanka in Navi Mumbai on Monday, leading to their elimination from the ICC Women's World Cup.
Chasing a target of 203 runs, the Tigresses were anchored by a crucial 82-run partnership between Joty, who scored 77 off 98 balls, and Sharmin, who made 64 off 103 balls.
Despite the strong effort, both set batters fell before finishing the job. With only nine runs needed to win in the final over, Sri Lanka's skipper Chamari Athapaththu delivered a "nightmare" spell, claiming four wickets to clinch the victory for her side and implode the Bangladesh innings.
