Matthews, Fletcher break Bangladesh hearts

ESPNcricinfo
This is officially the World Cup of thrillers. In the latest instalment, Bangladesh came within touching distance of a famous second win, only for their hearts to be crushed by Afy Fletcher and Hayley Matthews, who ripped through the batting line-up to take seven wickets.

Then with five runs needed off four deliveries, Stafanie Taylor hammered the final blow as she dismissed No. 11 Fariha Trisna. At the other end, Nahida Akter, who backed herself to take the game deep and pull off a late heist, could barely hold back her emotions.

Summarized scores: West Indies Women 140 for 9 (Campbelle 53*, Salma 2-23, Akter 2-23) beat Bangladesh Women 136 all out (Nigar Sultana 25, Hoque 23, Salma 23, Matthews 4-15, Fletcher 3-29, Taylor 3-29) by four runs
