Pakistan's women's cricket team beat the Sri Lankan women's team by 8 wickets in the first ODI at Karachi to make a strong start to the series. The foundation of the win laid by the bowlers as the SL women were bowled out for 169. Leg-spinner Ghulam Fatima was the pick of the bowlers as she finished with figures of 4/21, a career best performance for the bowler.
Leg-spinner Tuba Hassan produced a brilliant spell on her debut as Pakistan thrashed Sri Lanka by six wickets in the first T20I of the three-match series at the Southend Club in Karachi on Tuesday. The youngster registered the best figures by a debutant for Pakistan in T20Is, earning her the player of the match award. Tuba took three wickets for just eight runs, dismissing Harshitha Madavi, Anushka Sanjeewani and Kavisha Dilhari. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) shared a clip of Tuba's debut spell on their official Twitter handle.
Pakistan women's cricket team captain Bismah Maroof has decided against skipping the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham despite the organisers denying accreditation to her infant daughter and nanny to access the Games village. A source in the Pakistan Cricket Board confirmed that it had been decided that Bismah will play in the Commonwealth Games and her baby and nanny will stay at a hotel or residence outside the village.
Pakistan women's cricket team captain Bismah Maroof's infant daughter, Fatima, was denied accreditation for accessing the Commonwealth Games village in Birmingham. Maroof was previously deliberating over her participation in the CWG, which will be held from July 25 to August 8 in Birmingham. But as per ESPNCricinfo, she will travel for the games, with her daughter and mother, who will take care of Fatima, staying at a hotel outside the village.
ICC Women's World Cup 2022 hosts New Zealand finished their journey in the tournament on a high as they defeated Pakistan by 71 runs at the Hagley Oval in Christchurch on Saturday. Despite the win, the White Ferns failed to qualify for the semi-finals and ended with six points that included three wins and four defeats. Pakistan, on the other hand, also ended their World Cup, having won one game and lost six matches. New Zealand are currently ranked sixth while Pakistan occupy the bottom-most spot with just two points.
Suzie Bates compiled her 12th ODI century and became the first New Zealand batter, and fourth overall, to reach 5,000 runs in the format as the hosts beat Pakistan by 71 runs to end an otherwise disappointing Women's World Cup campaign on a positive note on Saturday. After Bates' magnificent century guided New Zealand to 265 for eight, a maiden five-wicket haul from medium pacer Hannah Rowe helped New Zealand register a comfortable victory at the Hagley Oval. Bates hit 126 from just 135 deliveries in the White Ferns' total and that proved too much for Pakistan as Rowe picked up 5/55 to effectively seal the result for New Zealand.
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.
A dominant England dished out a fine all-round performance to crush Pakistan by nine wickets and keep themselves in the reckoning for a place in the semifinals of the ICC Women's World Cup on Thursday. Bowling first, England bundled out Pakistan for a paltry 105 in 41.3 overs, and then, chased down the target with as many as 184 balls to spare. Opting to field after winning the toss, opening bowler Katherine Brunt (3/17) and left-arm spinner Sophie Ecclestone (3/18) led England's brilliant display with the ball at the Hagley Oval.
