Bangladesh national women's cricket team is currently competing in the ICC Cricket World Cup in New Zealand. Bangladesh have a slim chance of putting up a fight against the traditional cricketing heavyweights. They have already suffered big defeats to South Africa and New Zealand in their first two games. However, individually, talented female cricketer Rumana Ahmed can achieve two milestones in the upcoming matches. Let's see what milestones Rumana could be able to attain during the tournament.

Expected WODI Milestones for Rumana Ahmed

Rumana Ahmed's unwavering consistency has pushed her to greater heights in Bangladesh women’s cricket. She is also one of Bangladesh's best-known female cricketers on the international stage. Let's take a look at the two major milestones that Rumana is approaching.

1,000 WODI Runs

Rumana Ahmed made her international debut against the Ireland Women's team in 2011. She has appeared in 44 Women's One-Day Internationals for Bangladesh since then. Rumana has scored 915 runs in 41 innings, averaging 25.41. She just needs 85 runs to reach 1,000 WODI runs for the Tigress. With five more matches to play for Bangladesh in the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup, Rumana has a genuine chance to achieve that feat. This right-handed batter is now Bangladesh's highest run-scorer for the women's team.

50 WODI Wickets

Rumana Ahmed has been Bangladesh's most successful bowler, just like she has been in batting. She has the most wickets for Bangladesh in the Women's One-Day International format. Rumana has 46 wickets for the Tigress at an average of 24.67 in 43 innings.

Only four more wickets are needed for this outstanding leg-spinner to reach 50 WODI wickets for the Bangladesh Women's national team. Given her current form, Rumana Ahmed may easily accomplish these two milestones in the ongoing ICC event. Rumana Ahmed has 22 runs and 1 wicket to her name so far in this competition.

Aftermath

One of Bangladesh's top female cricketers, Rumana Ahmed has a chance to become the first Bangladeshi woman to score 1,000 runs and take 50 wickets in a WODI format. This will be a tremendous achievement for both her and Bangladesh women's cricket.

Shakib Al Hasan is widely regarded as Bangladesh's finest male cricketer ever, and many young players aspire to be like him. Rumana Ahmed is without a doubt the best all-rounder for Bangladesh's women's national team right now. She can serve as an inspiration to young female players who wish to play professional cricket in the future.
