Opener Rubya Haider Jhilik hit a debut fifty as Bangladesh cruised to a seven-wicket win over Pakistan on the back of a fine bowling effort to record just their second victory in a Women's World Cup. Seamer Marufa Akter set the tone with two wickets - both bowled - in the first over after Pakistan chose to bat. Bangladesh made a nervy start to their chase and crawled to 35-2 from 12 overs before skipper Nigar Sultana Joty came in. She showed some intent and Jhilik followed, taking over as the chief aggressor in a 62-run partnership that took the game away from Pakistan. Jhilik went on to reach her half-century from 64 balls just after Joty had been dismissed and finished unbeaten on 54 from 77 deliveries.
