... RUN CHASE ...

Right then, Scotland Women have done the job sincerely with the ball and now it is time for them to replicate the same with the bat. But, they will have to be very calculated against a spin-heavy opposition bowling contingent. Bangladesh Women on the other hand, will aim to snag some quick wickets and exert pressure right from the field restrictions. It is surely not going to be an easy chase. So, stay tuned as the second essay begins in a bit.

Sobhana Mostary is in for a chat. She says she enjoyed batting on this wicket and the ball was coming onto the bat nicely. Shares that they were targeting 140 but mentions that bowling is the team's strength and she backs her bowlers to defend the total.
