England Women v Pakistan Women – ICC Women's World Twenty20 2012 (3rd Match - Group A) – Match Update
A half-century from Laura Marsh, followed by Holly Colvin’s 4-wicket haul, propelled the England Women to a comprehensive 43-run win over the Pakistan Women, in their first Group A match of the ongoing http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 Women’s World Twenty20, 2012, played at the Galle
International Stadium in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sri-Lanka-c758 today on September 27.
The Pakistan Women won the toss and elected to field first, but the team’s bowling attack lacked intensity. Sana Mir (4-0-20-2) remained the only notable bowler, and the team was unable to restrict their opponents entirely, with the England Women going on
to post a sizeable total of 133.
Skipper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Laura-Alexandra-Marsh-c72238 (54) opened the innings for their side, and set up a mammoth 102-run stand, which put the England Women on steady ground. Both batters, however, were dismissed via run out by the 16th
over, and the batting order failed to maintain the momentum after that.
Wicketkeeper http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Arran-Brindle-c45514 (12), the only batter who managed
to register a double-digit score after the dismissal of the openers, found herself bowled by Sana Mir on the final ball of the last over, with the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 Women posting a final total of 133.
Following their solid batting display, the England Women launched an intense bowling attack, featuring Colvin (3.4-0-9-4) and Daniele Hazell (4-0-19-2) as key bowlers, while http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Katherine-Helen-Brunt-c70447 (3-0-17-1) chipped in with supporting performances.
The Pakistan Women put forth a lacklustre batting performance, with only http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sana-Mir-c88459 put in a disappointing contribution of 6 runs,
while http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sadia-Yousuf-c87834 all chipped in with just one run each.
Unable to stand up to the force of the England Women’s bowling attack, the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 Women crumbled, all out at 90, granting their opponents victory by a margin of 43 runs.
