New Zealand<\/strong> continued their dominance over Bangladesh<\/strong> as Amelia Kerr<\/strong> struck in Women\u2019s World Cup 2025<\/strong><\/a>, removing the struggling captain Nigar Sultana<\/strong>. With wickets tumbling and pressure mounting, Nigar\u2019s attempt to counterattack ended in disaster, handing New Zealand yet another breakthrough. The dismissal perfectly summed up Bangladesh\u2019s miserable outing with the bat.<\/p>\n Amelia Kerr flighted one enticingly outside off, drawing Nigar Sultana into the big shot. The Bangladesh skipper danced down the track, aiming to send it sailing into the stands, but she misjudged the length completely. The ball gripped and dipped just enough to beat her reach, resulting in a mistimed connection that went high rather than long. Rosemary Mair<\/strong><\/a>, stationed at mid-off, showed superb awareness \u2014 sprinting back, keeping her eyes on the swirling ball, and diving full stretch to complete a breathtaking catch. It was a moment of sheer brilliance from Mair and smart bowling from Kerr, as Nigar\u2019s lean run continued with another disappointing single-digit score. The wicket left Bangladesh reeling at 30\/4, their chase in complete disarray.<\/p>\n pic.twitter.com\/0m4NMaev1j<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Blablabla (@Bhaukal_ba1) October 10, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Also WATCH: Rosemary Mair bowls a jaffa to clean up Sharmin Akhter in NZ vs BAN Women\u2019s World Cup 2025 clash<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Nigar Sultana Joty, the captain and anchor of the Bangladesh Women\u2019s team, is currently enduring a difficult run of form in the ICC Women\u2019s Cricket World Cup 2025, an unfortunate development that is significantly undermining her team\u2019s prospects. As the most experienced middle-order batter, much of Bangladesh\u2019s stability hinges on her ability to occupy the crease and shepherd the lower order. However, her bat has remained largely silent across the opening matches of the tournament, failing to provide the decisive contributions needed at crucial junctures.<\/p>\n This slump is starkly reflected in her numbers: she has managed just 35 runs across three innings, registering scores of 12, 5, and 18, leaving her with a tournament average of only 11.66. This poor statistical output is particularly concerning given the captaincy responsibilities she carries, as leadership by example is paramount in such a high-pressure global event. Her recent dismissals, combined with a subdued strike rate under 60, suggest a mental struggle rather than being undone by unplayable deliveries. The consistent failure of their main anchor to fire has placed immense pressure on the rest of the batting lineup, leading to several below-par team totals.<\/p>\n Also WATCH:\u00a0Smriti Mandhana expresses rage after Nadine de Klerk\u2019s six breaks India\u2019s heart against South Africa | Women\u2019s World Cup 2025<\/a><\/strong> <\/p>\n This article was first published at WomenCricket.com<\/a>, a Cricket Times<\/a> company.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nAmelia Kerr tricks Nigar Sultan as Rosemary Mair takes a stunning catch<\/strong><\/h2>\n
