All-Rounders

Rabeya Khan has become Bangladesh’s match-winner with her leg-spin and reliable lower-order batting. She has taken 38 wickets in just 15 innings, repeatedly breaking vital partnerships, and while her contributions with the bat are less important, her wicket-taking spin bowling will become more vital on pitches conducive to turn, like Colombo, with the potential to be a match-winner.

Ritu Moni brings depth and balance to the side. She has 560 runs and 29 wickets in her career, and she lends batter and bowler strength. She can make use of any early movement through her medium-pace bowling, and has batting depth in the lower order for plenty of security.

Bowlers

Nahida Akter is Bangladesh’s best weapon with the ball in hand. She has taken 69 wickets from 52 innings with a best of 5/21. She generates accuracy and smart variation.

Fahima Khatun provides support to Nahida’s spin threat. She has claimed 35 wickets from 44 innings with a 5/21 best as well. Her flight and slightly changing pace are difficult for batters to score off. Together, Nahida and Fahima will own the middle overs and drain the opposition’s run rate on seam-friendly conditions.

Bangladesh Women enter the third match with a balanced team that occupies every dimension of the game. Sharmin Akhter and Nigar Sultana will be the engine of the innings, Rabeya Khan and Ritu Moni provide batting and bowling options, and Nahida Akter and Fahima Khatun are a very strong spin combination.
