Bangladesh 130 for 4 (Shamima 43, Rahman 31, Duraisingam 2-19) beat Malaysia 60 for 9 (Duraisinga 17, Ahmed 3-8) by 70 runs.

Bangladesh women cricket team on Saturday has crashed Malaysia to go to the final of Asia cup.

In last match of league round, the team led by Salma Khatun has beaten Malaysia for 70 runs in Kuala Lumpur.

Bangladesh will face mighty India in the final which is scheduled to be held on Sunday.

On the penultimate day of what has been a momentous week for the side, in which they consigned both Pakistan and India to big-margin defeats, Bangladesh strangled hosts Malaysia to 60 for 9 in 20 in their 130-run defence.
Vice-captain Rumana Ahmed starred with the ball, picking her second three-for of the tournament, after a 59-run opening stand between Player of the Match Shamima Sultana and Ayasha Rahman hoisted Bangladesh to 130 for 4.
While chasing has been the preferred mode of operation for Bangladesh for the major part of the tournament, captain Salma Khatun's decision to bat found validation in Sultana's 54-ball 43 that complemented Rahman's 31 off 27.
After Winifred Duraisingam, the medium-pacer, separated the duo in the 10th over, Sultana stitched together a 27-run second-wicket partnership with Fargana Hoque. Duraisingam's second strike, in the 16th over, however, ensured Hoque's contribution was limited to seven.
A huge swell of impetus to the Bangladesh innings came via the 36 runs Sanjida Islam and Fahima Khatun added at over 10 runs per over. Sanjida smashed 15 off 12 while Khatun peppered three fours en route to her 12-ball 26.
In reply, only three batsmen in the Malaysia line-up managed double-digit scores. Duraisingam top-scored with a 35-ball 17 as two run-outs, coupled with Ahmed's 4-1-8-3 which proved too strong for the opposition to muster a fight against.
Malaysia's slow-paced surrender ended in a ninth-wicket for the Bangladesh attack, in which five of the six bowlers employed returned at least one wicket each.
