The second semi-final of the ACC Women’s Emerging Asia Cup had to be reduced to 9-9 overs due to rain. Bangladesh A team won the toss and decided to bat first.

Pakistan could not score 60 runs
Chasing a seemingly simple target of 60 runs, Pakistan’s team could only manage 53 runs for 4 wickets. Such tight bowling was done by Bangladesh, in front of which it became difficult for the batsman to score runs. Pakistan A team started very well and scored 39 runs in 6.5 overs losing 3 wickets. In the last two overs, 20 runs were needed to win, but the Bangladeshi bowlers tightened the screws in such a way that Pakistan could not get one. Rabia Khan took two wickets for 13 runs in two overs for Bangladesh.
