Deandra Dottin struck 73 as West Indies thumped Ireland
Bangladesh Women 322 for 5 (Akhter 130*, Hoque 67, Chaudhary 2-64) beat USA Women 52 (Norris 16, Fahima 2-5, Salma 2-10, Rumana 2-11) by 270 runs
Akhter brought up her hundred off 117 balls and struck 11 fours during her 141-ball stay. But given the matches featuring at least one team without ODI status are accorded only List A status, Akhter’s ton wouldn’t count towards her ODI record.
USA’s meek reply saw only their captain-wicketkeeper Sindhu Sriharsha (15) and No. 7 Tara Norris (16), the Philadelphia-born allrounder who was one of the breakout performers on the English domestic circuit this season, reach the double figures.
Rain halted play after 15 overs when USA were 25 for 4 after 15 overs. But their slide continued after the resumption as the Bangladesh attack kept chipping away, making use of the yorker to good effect. Salma Khatun, Rumana Ahmed and Fahima Khatun picked up two wickets apiece for Bangladesh, and with Uzma Iftikhar absent hurt, USA folded for 52 in 30.3 overs.
Pakistan Women 145 (Riaz 49, Putthawong 5-18) beat Thailand Women 93 (Boochatham 18, Sana 2-8, Dar 2-26) by 52 runs
West Indies Women 163 for 4 (Dottin 73, Taylor 41, Richardson 2-33) beat Ireland Women 159 (Lewis 35, Mohammed 3-40, Taylor 2-15, Matthews 2-20, Connell 2-33) by six wickets
