APP

Islamabad: The Pakistani women’s cricket team’s victor, notably in the Super Over, appears to have been a highly charged and historic occasion for them, marking their inaugural victory against the White Ferns in New Zealand and only their second win in 17 matches.

Bismah Maroof’s impressive performance, scoring a half-century and being declared the Player of the Match, was a significant contribution to Pakistan’s success. Additionally, the notable partnerships between Maroof, Aliya Riaz, and captain Fatima Sana, as well as the crucial contributions from Natalia Parvaiz and Najiha Alvi, were instrumental in achieving the competitive total of 251.

The Super Over’s tension seems palpable, with Pakistan managing to score 11 runs and eventually securing victory by three runs, courtesy of Sadia Iqbal’s crucial wickets despite Sophie Devine’s six for New Zealand.

In the match summary, the White Ferns’ batting effort, led by Amelia Kerr’s notable 77 runs, and partnerships between Suzie Bates, Isabella Gaze, Sophie Devine, and Kerr, led to a competitive score of 251 for eight in their 50 overs. Notably, Ghulam Fatima’s and Nashra Sundhu’s bowling performances stood out for Pakistan, contributing significantly to restricting New Zealand’s total.

The individual achievements, like Ghulam Fatima’s match figures and Kerr’s outstanding performance throughout the series, were highlighted, adding depth to the context of the game.

It’s a significant win for Pakistan’s women’s team, marking a momentous occasion in their cricketing journey.
