Bangladesh Women vs Scotland Women, 1st Match, Group B - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

It might not have been the bestest of games entertainment wise but we are only getting started. There's another game coming up and it is Sri Lanka v Pakistan, hopefully that takes it a notch higher. That's all from here. Until next time, goodbye and stay safe..

Nigar Sultana | Bangladesh captain: We have been waiting for this for a long time. This means a lot for us and everyone in the team. It was a kind of wicket where you need time to settle, Shathi and Mostary managed to do that. The conditions were pretty hot and we ran a lot of twos. Hopefully the wicket remains like this and our spinners will come into play. We are trying to do something different (with our batting order), Taj came up and tried to hit some boundaries, but unfortunately she got out. We have the momentum, seeing the girls happy and smiling is the biggest inspiration for me.

Kathryn Bryce | Scotland captain: It is always going to be tough.. playing our first game in the T20 World Cup. Hopefully it gets better in the next couple of weeks. It was great to get out there and get some game time. We were sloppy in the field and in a tight game like this those are things that can cost you. Saskia was ready for that and was calm under pressure (bowling at the end).

Ritu Moni | Player of the Match: It was a slow wicket and I tried to vary my pace. We have worked hard in the last one year and we have been waiting for this game, it is a very happy moment for me and my team mates. We assessed the conditions and just stuck to our bowling strengths. (translated from Bengali to English by Fahima Khatun)

17:04 Local Time, 13:04 GMT, 18:34 IST: Scotland's chase never really got going. They were there and thereabouts but never threatened. Sarah Bryce held one end up but there was no impetus coming from the other. The batters struggled against the slow-paced nature of Bangladesh's attack and fell at regular intervals. During the mid-innings break we thought Bangladesh were 20 runs short but credit to their bowlers for keeping it tight, building scoreboard pressure and picking wickets. The fielding though was ordinary from both sides with plenty of catches being dropped but Bangladesh were slightly better and that was one of the key reasons for them winning this opening encounter. Hang around for the presentations..

Marufa Akter to Sarah Bryce, 2 runs, Bangladesh win by 16 runs. Nigar Sultana is down on the ground with her head buried between her hands. This is Bangladesh's first win in a decade while playing in the T20 World Cup. That's why the emotions coming out. Short of length delivery outside off, Bryce slaps it down to long-off and scampers back for the second. She remains stranded on 49..

Marufa Akter to Sarah Bryce, 2 runs, dropped! Another simple chance that is put down. Full pitcher outside off, Bryce does not have the strength to play the big shot and miscues it towards extra cover, the fielder runs back and spills it

Marufa Akter to Sarah Bryce, 2 runs, on a length and outside off, Bryce slices it wide of extra cover and Nigar Sultana is not happy with the second being conceded

Marufa Akter to Sarah Bryce, no run, good length ball outside off, Bryce swings hard but fails to connect

Marufa Akter to Sarah Bryce, 2 runs, angled in from a fullish length, Bryce whips it wide of deep mid-wicket

Marufa Akter to Abtaha Maqsood, 1 run, fullish delivery around off, Maqsood squeezes the drive to long-on

Marufa Akter [2.0-0-8-1] is back into the attack

Nahida Akter to Abtaha Maqsood, 1 run, in the air and safe. Drifting in with the angle, Maqsood gets a big top-edge as she attempts the slog sweep and the ball skies towards mid-on, Nahida runs back and might have got fingertips to it. Another great effort but the ball does not stick

Abtaha Maqsood, right handed bat, comes to the crease

Nahida Akter to Katherine Fraser, out Caught by Rabeya Khan!! 100th T20I wicket for Nahida Akter. A much simpler catch and Rabeya makes no mistake. Flighted around off, Fraser had to go for it and she miscues the loft towards long-off, Rabeya runs to her right and comes forward to take the catch. Katherine Fraser c Rabeya Khan b Nahida Akter 2(4)

Nahida Akter to Katherine Fraser, THATS OUT!! Caught!!

Nahida Akter to Katherine Fraser, no run, loopy delivery outside off, Fraser looks to sweep but is beaten by the away turn

Nahida Akter to Sarah Bryce, 1 run, floated up around off, Bryce slog sweeps towards wide long-on and Fahima keeps it to a single

Nahida Akter to Sarah Bryce, 2 runs, dropped! That would have been an early contender for the catch of the tournament. Tossed up around off, Bryce lofts it straight down the ground. Rabeya comes across from long-off and dives, she gets both hands but the ball does not stick. That would have been a stunner..

Nahida Akter to Katherine Fraser, 1 run, tossed up outside off, Fraser shimmies out and drives uppishly to long-off
