Visiting South African Women's Emerging team leveled the three-match T20 series against Bangladesh Emerging side with a 36-run victory in a low-scoring second match at Cox's Bazar Cricket Academy Ground on Friday.
Bangladesh Women's Emerging team won the first match by five wickets.
Electing to bat first, South African Emerging team were restricted to a meager 115-8 with Luyanda Nzuza making highest 30. Verunissa Reddy was not out on 25 and played a key role in helping the side past 100-run mark which looked unlikely with Shorna Akter tearing apart South African batting line up.
Shorna ended with 3-20 and was ably supported by Sabikun Nahar Jesmin who took 2-18.
Bangladesh, however, put a disastrous batting show to be all out for just 79 in 16.2 overs with no batter reaching 20-run mark. Afia Ashima was the highest scorer with 17. Shorna Akter who hit a half-century to lead the side to the victory in the first game made 16 this time.
The series deciding third match is on Sunday. Earlier, Bangladesh Women's Emerging team won the three-match one-day series by 2-1.
