But the batsman had a different idea. After all she is the captain of Bangladesh, number one, a brilliant captain.
And Nigar Sultana started celebrating by hitting the bowler over mid-on. Bangladesh snatched a cliffhanger in the Super Over during the second ODI of the three-match series to level the series.
Bangladeshi batsman Shobhana Mostari started the Super Over, where they needed eight runs to win, with a four, but to Sandhu’s credit she gave just two more singles in the next three balls before Nigar won the final delivery. I dismissed Mosteri.
Unlike Sandhu, Bangladeshi spinner Nahida Akhtar, who took charge of the bowling in the Super Over, started with a wicket by bowling Iram Javed. But Aliya Riaz hit four and two on the third and fourth balls, taking the run to seven. However, his partner Bismah Maroof was run out on the next ball and his Super Over innings ended.
