Some of the leading players from Pakistan will feature in a new women’s tournament in Dubai next month after they were granted permission by the Pakistan Cricket Board.
England batter Danni Wyatt admits she began to doubt herself before snapping a lean run of form with a match-clinching 76 not out against Pakistan at the World Cup.
After facing a nine-wicket defeat against England in the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2022 at Hagley Oval on Thursday, Pakistan skipper Bismah Maroof said that the two run-outs in the match damaged their top order's batting. Sidra Ameen and Sidra Nawaz were the only two batters for Pakistan who put up scores of 20+ as the rest of the batting order had no answer to the English bowlers. "I think two run-outs in the top order damaged us. If we could have stayed in, we could have batted more and played 50 overs, which would have given bowlers more to defend. Our bowling is our strength, so we believe we can take wickets of any team. That's why we like to bowl first and chase," said Bismah Maroof in a post-match presentation.
Katherine Brunt was in fantastic form as England cruised past Pakistan in their league stage fixture of the ongoing ICC Women's Cricket World Cup, at Hagley Oval in Christchurch on Thursday. The pacer took three wickets in eight overs, conceding only 17 runs and also registering two maiden overs. Her dismissals accounted for openers Nahida Khan, Sidra Ameen and Nida Dar. In a talismanic performance, Brunt's wicket of Ameen summed up her form as the batter inside edged it to smash the middle stump out of the ground. The incident occured in the 25th over when Brunt sent a spectacular length delivery which forced Ameen on the front foot and then it seamed back in for the inside edge, hitting the middle stump. The wicket proved to be a crucial one as Ameen was also her side's top-scorer with a knock of 32 runs off 77 deliveries. Such was the brilliance of the delivery that the commentator stated, "That is an absolute jaffa".
Pakistan skipper Bismah Maroof expressed disappointment after her side got thrashed by Bangladesh in the 12th match of the ongoing ICC Women's ODI World Cup, at Seddon Park, Hamilton on Monday. Pakistan batter Sidra Ameen's knock of 104 runs went in vain as Fahima Khatun scalped three wickets and provided her side a victory by 9 runs.
South Africa on Friday defeated Pakistan by six runs in a thriller to register their second win of the ongoing ICC Women's World Cup at the Bay Oval in Mount Maunganui. Pacer Shabnim Ismail showcased some world-class death bowling skills as Pakistan lost two wickets in the final over. Needing 10 runs in the last over, Pakistan lost the wickets of Diana Baig and Ghulam Fatima. The wicket of Diana Baig, however, caught the attention of fans as Ismail completed a brilliant catch off her own bowling to dismiss the Pakistan player.
