Bangladesh began their tri-nation women’s T20 series campaign with a disappointing loss to Scotland in Edinburgh on May 30, 2026. After winning the toss and opting to bat first, Bangladesh struggled to build momentum and managed only 133 runs for five wickets in 20 overs. Captain Nigar Sultana Joty top-scored with a fighting 46, while Sobhana Mostary and Swarna Akter added 22 runs each. The team’s batting collapse early in the innings prevented a competitive total.

In reply, Scotland chased down the 134-run target confidently, reaching it in just 15.4 overs with eight wickets in hand. Captain Kathryn Bryce led from the front with an unbeaten 54, supported by Katherine Fraser’s 28 and contributions of 23 runs each from Darcy Carter and Sarah Bryce. Bangladesh’s bowlers failed to apply pressure, allowing Scotland to dominate throughout the innings.

The heavy defeat has increased the pressure on Bangladesh to recover quickly in the remaining matches of the tri-nation series.
