England Women v Pakistan Women - Pakistan Women tour of England and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ireland-c751 - 1st T20I – Live Score and Update
Pakistan Women 87/7 (20/20 ov) v England Women 91/3 (15.5/20 ov) - England Women won by 7 wickets (with 25 balls remaining)
On Tuesday, September 04, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 Women won their first T20I match against Pakistan by seven wickets after chasing a target of 88 runs needed to win the game at Haslegrave Ground, Loughborough.
Pakistan Women on winning the toss chose to bat first, aiming to post a total good enough to be defended later in the day.
However, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Qanita-Jalil-c82844 could bolster only four runs before the Greens suffered the demise of their first wicket on the departure of Jalil, who perished without scoring a run.
Skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sana-Mir-c88459, was up next but before Pakistan could craft a big partnership, Dar was removed by A Shrubsole on a knock of six runs. At the time of this wicket, Pakistan were standing on a tally of ten.
Mir and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Syeda-Nain-Fatima-Abidi-c92397 then tried to salvage the innings, but the stand was short-lived as with 23 on the board, the Pakistan skipper became the third wicket of the day, finding her way off the field after scoring only seven runs.
A Shrubsole with three wickets was just too good for the Pakistani girls as the English bowler destroyed the top order without any hassle.
Abidi and http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bismah-Maroof-c48136 needed to begin a rebuild phase, but England were in no mood to let Pakistan make a comeback, as with 28 on the board they grabbed the wicket of Maroof, who fell with only a run to her name.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Javeria-Khan-c66603 was next to fall, as she perished after scoring only eight runs, leaving her side standing on a tally of 38.
With wickets falling all around, Pakistan played out their 20 overs by posting a meagre total of 87 runs for the loss of seven wickets with Abidi as the highest scorer for hammering 21 runs.
England’s Shrubsole was devastating with a four-wicket haul as she left her opponents in complete disarray. She was later named as the Player of the Match.
England then raced to the required target in 15.5 overs for the loss of three wickets with SJ http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Taylor-c92915 and A Brindle as the best batswomen for hammering 31 runs each.
