Rosemary Mair strikes early as Sharmin Akhtar gets out cheaply in NZ vs BAN Women’s World Cup 2025 clash
Sharmin, attempting to defend a length ball, misjudged the line as the ball went back in off the seam. His bat could not connect properly and the ball slipped from him and hit the stumps. Mayer’s wicket was a textbook example of the accuracy of seam bowling. He maintained a probing line outside the off stump, encouraging the batsman to play balls just outside his comfort zone. Sharmin, unsure whether the ball would be straight or go in, hit tentatively and was beaten due to subtle movement from the pitch. This dismissal not only determined the direction of New Zealand’s bowling innings but also put immediate pressure on Bangladesh’s fragile top order.
Mair struck in the fourth over and forced the Bangladesh batsmen to rethink their approach, ruining their intentions of building a steady partnership. The early scalps highlighted Mair’s ability to capitalize on small mistakes and his ability to produce wicket-taking balls under pressure. Bangladesh now found themselves 7/1, needing to settle quickly to avoid complete collapse against a confident New Zealand team.
