Fargana Hoque Pinky scores her 2nd ODI 💯 & 🇧🇩 posted 222-4 vs South Africa in 2nd ODI.
Pinky should've played more aggressively after 40 ovs, i feel were 25-30 runs short cz of her, good inns anyway.
Chasing 220+ vs this♏ attack will be a tough job for SA.— Mazharul Islam Sayem (@MazharulISayem)
Terrible selfish innings from Fargana Hoque.
