Pakistan women’s cricket team created history by winning a match by ten wickets in the ongoing Women’s T20 Asia Cup on Tuesday. Earlier, different teams won their respective matches by 9 wickets eight times.
The Girls in Green defeated the United Arab Emirates (UAE) by 10 wickets in a must-win match in the ongoing Women’s T20 Asia Cup at the Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium today.
It was the second win for the Pakistan team in the tournament due to an all-round performance. Pakistan lost their first match of the tournament to India. The green shirts have a step into the semi-finals with four points from two wins.
In today’s match, Pakistan’s opening duo of Gull Feroza and Muneeba Ali, chasing a target of 104 runs, displayed terrific form with the bat as they cruised home in just 14.1 overs without losing a single wicket, with 35 balls to spare remain.
Feroza hit 62 off 55 deliveries with eight fours while Muneeba contributed 37 runs in 30 balls with four boundaries. By winning the match successfully chasing the target without losing a single wicket, Pakistan became the first team to win a game by ten wickets in the history of the tournament.
Nepal will play India in their final Group A match today and the green jerseys will require the Blues to beat their opponents to secure a safe entry into the semi-finals.
Earlier, Pakistan won the toss and asked UAE women to bat first. However, they could not get off to a good start as they kept losing wickets at regular intervals.
Skipper Esha Oza (16 off 26) and Theertha Satish (40 off 36) were the top two scorers for UAE as only Khushi Sharma (12 off 13) managed to contribute in double-figure runs.
For Pakistan, Sadia Iqbal, Nashra Sandhu and Tuba Hassan took two wickets each, while skipper Nida Dar managed to take one.
