Bangladesh made a solid start with the bat, as Shathi Rani and Murshida Khatun forged a 35-run partnership.
However, their dismissals led to struggles in the middle order, with Taj Nehar, Shorna Akter, and Ritu Moni adding only a few runs.
Sobhana Mistry’s 36 helped the team finish at 119/7 in 20 overs.In reply, Scotland began similarly, reaching 12/0 in two overs.
A thrilling moment came when Scotland opener Saskia Horley was dismissed by Fahima Khatun, igniting a lively celebration. On the third ball of the third over, Khatun bowled a well-placed delivery outside off stump.
Horley attempted to drive it to leg but was deceived by the flipper, resulting in an inside edge. Bangladesh wicketkeeper Nigar Sultana Joty quickly collected the ball and dislodged the bails.
