Another batting failure led to a disappointing end for Bangladesh's campaign in the ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2024, as they succumbed to a seven-wicket defeat against South Africa at Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Saturday.

Winning the toss, Bangladesh opted to bat first but lost Dilara Akhter on the second ball of the match. They managed only 10 runs in the first five overs without hitting a single boundary and reached 43 for two at the halfway mark. 

Bangladesh ultimately scored just 106 runs for the loss of three wickets in their full 20 overs. The entire innings featured only eight boundaries (7 fours and 1 six).

Strike rate of Bangladesh batters is alarming. Shathi Rani departed after scoring 19 runs off 30 balls, while Sobhana Mostary top-scored with 38 runs off 43 deliveries. Skipper Nigar Sultana Joty remained unbeaten on 32 from 38 balls. 

For South Africa, Marizanne Kapp, Annerie Dercksen and Nonkululeko Mlaba each took a wicket.

Chasing a target of 107, South Africa reached the mark losing three wickets with 16 balls to spare. South African skipper Laura Wolvaardt scored seven runs, while Tazmin Brits made 42 and Anneke Bosch contributed a run-a-ball 25. 

Kapp and Chloe Tryon finished the game remaining unbeaten on 13 and 14 runs respectively.

Fahima Khatun took two wickets for Bangladesh, while Ritu Moni claimed the other.

Bangladesh's batting woes persisted throughout the tournament. Despite scoring 119 runs against Scotland in the first match, it was their bowlers' efforts that led to their first World Cup win in 10 years. In the next match, the bowlers restricted England to 118 runs giving Bangladesh a chance to win, but they could only manage 97 in their 20 overs. Against West Indies, Bangladesh posted a mere 103 runs and suffered an eight-wicket loss.
