Tigresses outclass Holland

The Bangladesh women's cricket team romped to their second win in as many days by thumping hosts the Netherlands by seven wickets in their World Twenty20 qualifier match in Utrecht yesterday.

Leg-spinner Rumana Ahmed took three wickets for just two runs and fellow leg-spinner Fahima Khatun took three wickets for three runs to bring Netherlands down from 23 for one to 42 all out in 18 overs. Only opener Sterre Kalis (15) and Denise Hannema (14) reached double figures.

In chase, Bangladesh  were never in any trouble as an unbeaten 11 from Fargana Haque took them home with 12.1 overs to spare.
