Bangladesh is winless in Women's T20 World Cup since 2014. They have lost 15 matches in a row so far in this tournament. This time, before going to South Africa, the captain Nigar Sultana spoke about the goal of multiple victories.

But after losing the first three matches, Bangladesh's exit is confirmed. Niger is still hoping for a consolation win in the last match against South Africa today.

The match at Newlands in Cape Town is a virtual knockout for hosts South Africa - a win will see the hosts join Australia in the semi-finals from Group 1, while a loss will send New Zealand into the semi-finals.

Niger wants to take this opportunity to be under the pressure of South Africa, 'we could not do well as a team. Individual performances were not enough, it was difficult to win matches like this. But South Africa is under pressure. If I can learn from mistakes, play stress-free cricket, then I can play well.

Bangladesh managed to create the biggest chances of victory against Sri Lanka in the tournament, but could not really fight back against Australia or New Zealand. Nigar blamed the team's lack of performance, but admitted that the batting suffered more, "if you can't score more than 130 or 140 on these wickets, it's difficult to win a match." New Zealand have won two matches, so has Sri Lanka. If we had won one, (before this match) we would have had a chance too.''

Even if he doesn't have that chance, the Bangladesh captain wants to finish with a win, but everyone wants to win at least with something good.

Bangladesh will have to do something great if they want to win. Bangladesh defeated South Africa in the first meeting between the two teams in this edition in 2012, but then lost 9 matches in a row. The two teams last met in 2018.

Young pacer Marufa Akhtar has spread light for Bangladesh in the tournament. Under-19 World Cup player Swarna Akhtar also showed glimpses in the last match against New Zealand.

Where senior cricketers have failed to shine in the team, young cricketers like Swarna are needed more in this edition, Nigar said, 'Swarna was taken to do well in the U-19 World Cup. We didn't put any pressure on him, it took him a little time to get used to the first two matches. He is young but playing mature. The entire team and management have given him the opportunity to play pressure-free cricket. That's why it performed. Seniors may not have clicked that way this time. It is not right to verify someone on the basis of a tournament.
