Ghosh was irresistible, hitting 58 from 33 balls after the fall of the seventh wicket, and showing herself to be a 360 player with boundaries all around the ground.

After the seventh wicket fell - Georgia Wareham the latest in a line of Australians to chip a catch pushing hard against spin - Pakistan had a 92% chance of winning, according to analysts CricViz.

Bangladesh also started their World Cup campaign with a comfortable win, beating Pakistan by seven wickets.

They bowled 38 balls which would have gone on to hit the stumps, took six wickets with them and conceded just four runs.

But Sutherland bowled the veteran all-rounder to start a rapid end to the match, with New Zealand losing their last four wickets for two runs to be dismissed with 40 balls remaining.
