In a disappointing start to their ICC Women's World Cup campaign, Pakistan's cricket team was bowled out for a mere 129 runs in 38.3 overs against Bangladesh. The match, held on Thursday, saw Pakistan falter after a promising start, ultimately suffering a batting collapse.

Rameen Shamim emerged as the top scorer for Pakistan with 23 runs off 39 deliveries, while Fatima Sana contributed 22 runs from 33 balls. Despite these efforts, the team's batting lineup failed to withstand Bangladesh's bowling prowess.
