How did the team reach till here?

Before this match, Bangladeshi wowen had shown consistent batting and bowling performances. They are leading the charts with two wins from equal number of matches. The team has beaten the USA by 22 runs and Papua New Guinea by 30 runs. Those victories put them firmly on top of the Group A table going into today’s fixture. 

Namibia started their tournament in a bad note by losing their first match against the USA by four wickets.
