Bangladesh stunned Pakistan in the 12th match of the ICC Women's World Cup 2022 here at Seddon Park, Hamilton. They successfully defended 234, claiming their maiden Women's World Cup win.
Pakistan was cruising on 155/1 at one stage. However, they suffered an untimely batting collapse. Fahima Khatun starred in Bangladesh's phenomenal win with three wickets. Meanwhile, Sidra Ameen's century went in vain.
