Nahida Akter has become the first Bangladesh woman to take 100 wickets in Twenty20 Internationals, as her side secured a 16-run victory over Scotland in their ICC Women's T20 World Cup opener in Sharjah today.
The left-arm spinner, who took the final wicket of the match, reached the milestone in her 88th appearance.

Last November, Nahida became Bangladesh's first player to bag the ICC Women's Player of the Month award.
