Nigar Sultana Joty(Bangladesh Women Captain)- "I always believed that if I stay till the end, we can win the game. If I am to talk about today's game, we could've done well in the fielding. I think we gave 5-10 runs extra there. Although, it's a very good win. We can take a lot of positives from the bowlers. Nahida was brilliant in the game and youngsters like Shorna did really well."
Nahida Akter(Player of the match)- "I always try to stay positive and I tried to play my role here. It feels really good to beat a heavyweight side like Pakistan. I always try to do my best in every game. We don't think about the series now, we are focussing on the next game."
Player of the Match: Nahida Akter
Nida Dar (Pakistan Women Captain): "I guess we don't blame on the toss. It is our responsibility to play the good cricket, whatever the condition is. But still, I need to say to my batters that we have to take responsibility. Yes, I guess the bowlers actually played a really good role and I think if they play to their potential, we can win the match."
7:19 PM IST, 19:49 Local Time: Time for the post-match presentation.

19:12 IST and 19:42 Local Time | History for the Bangladesh Women team as they defeated the Pakistan Women team for the third time in the T20 format and it's the skipper, Nigar Sultana who played a very very impactful knock to ensure her team go over the line. Shoutout to Nahida Akter who played her role with the ball beautifully.
Coming to chase 83 run target, Shamima Sultana and Murshida Khatun started off very watchfully and although Sultana got out for only 5, Khatun carried the innings. She was a bit slow in the run chase but recovered her strike rate well. She went on to score 23 facing 40 balls with a couple of boundaries. Sobhana Mostary played a good knock of 16 runs before getting out.
But then, skipper Nigar Sultana Joty joined the crease and she took singles at times and also scored a few boundaries. Shorna Akter, Sultana Khatun failed to support her but she took her team through. She remained unbeaten on 26 facing 28 balls with three boundaries.
For Pakistan Women, Diana Big, Nashra Sandhu and Umme Hani took one wicket each. But their efforts were not enough to stop the Bangladesh batters before reaching the target today.
