It was then that Rumana Ahmed was introduced into the attack. The leg-spinner was the best of Bangladesh bowlers on the show as she picked up the big wickets of Ainna Hamizah and Arianna Natasya.At the other end, Nahida Akter and Suraiya Azmin posed a different set of challenges for the Malaysia batters. The left-arm spinner and right-arm quick accounted for a wicket each to leave Malaysia in deep trouble.With 50 to chase down, Bangladesh got off to a strong start with a 38-run opening partnership between Shamima Sultana and Murshida Khatun.
