As http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Green-c60723 are making the nation proud. At the 2010 Asian Games' T20 cricket competition currently being held at Guangzhou in China, Pakistan women cricket team defeated the
hosts China comfortably by nine wickets. They exhibited a perfect combination of batting, bowling and fielding on their way to book a place in the semi-finals.
The women of China played cautiously as their innings ended at 60 for the loss of five wickets. Green shirts achieved the target runs with only one wicket lost and 46 balls still remaining. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/China-c40996 blamed their bad fielding for the loss, having dropped some
important catches and not stopping crucial boundaries.
Pakistan opener Nida http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Rashid-c84058, however, praised the women in red and handed over the credit to them arguing that the Chinese team hasn't experienced much exposure as compared to Pakistan team. She advised them to improve their reflexes and batting.
After this loss, China would be vying to win their last group match in order to keep their bronze medal hopes alive. On the other hand, Pakistan may go on to claim their first ever gold medal in the cricket event of Asian Games.
