But it was their bowlers who did the job for their side as they restricted Bangladesh to 97/7 and won the game. After this win, they are in second position of the group points table with a positive Net Run Rate of 0.773.

On the other hand, South Africa women have also begun their campaign on a high as they are coming off a convincing 10-wicket victory over West Indies Women. After asking the Windies to bat first, the Hayley Matthews-led side were restricted to 118/6. In reply, the opening pair of Laura Wolvaardt and Tazmin Brits put on a match-winning opening stand to help their side get two crucial points and hold the pole position in the points table.
