In a commanding display of bowling prowess, Bangladesh's women's cricket team, led by the spirited young pacer Marufa Akter and seasoned spinner Nahida Akter, stifled Pakistan to a modest 129 all out during their ICC Women's World Cup opener.

Marufa, a 20-year-old fast bowler, gained a crucial breakthrough in the opening over, dismissing both Omaima Sohail and Sidra Amin without a run, sending ripples through Pakistan's batting lineup.

Despite attempted recoveries, Nahida Akter's calculated spin further dismantled Pakistan's batting, leading to regular wickets falling and preventing any impactful partnerships. Ultimately, disciplined bowling rotations kept Pakistan on the back foot throughout their innings.
