Wednesday, August 29: Pakistan Women won their first match in the ongoing Tri-Nation Women's T20 Series, against Ireland by eight wickets, at Clontarf Cricket Club Ground, Dublin.
Dominating the Irish batswomen, Pakistan bowlers prevented the hosts from amassing a big total after inviting them to bat first.
Requiring a meagre tally of 82 runs to win in 20 overs, Pakistan had a shaky start, losing their first wicket with only two runs on the board, as star opener http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Qanita-Jalil-c82844 perished without scoring.
With Ireland taking their first wicket on the penultimate delivery of the opening over, this was a perfect start for the home team, giving fans plenty to look forward to.
However, Pakistan’s Nida Dar and skipper Sana Mir took charge and forged an astounding resistance in the second-wicket partnership.
The two gave an exuberant performance by countering http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ireland-c751’s every move, as they steered the side 74 runs.
Dar, who batted splendidly in this fixture, became the second wicket to fall after bolstering a knock of 46 off 41 deliveries.
Meanwhile, with http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Syeda-Nain-Fatima-Abidi-c92397 facing eight balls without scoring, the Pakistan skipper, steered the side to victory in 15.1 overs with herself staying unbeaten on a 33-run knock.
Earlier in the day, Ireland had a decent start to their innings with openers CMA Shillington and CNIM Joyce staggering a 23-run stand.
After the departure of Shillington for ten, Joyce and EAJ http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Richardson-c85395 batted superbly, putting pressure on the fielding side.
However, the partnership was broken by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Nida-Rashid-Dar-c79512, who took her only wicket of the match by dismissing Richardson on 15 runs.
With 56 for two, the hosts were still in a comfortable position, but soon lost their way, as they suffered a batting collapse, failing to handle Pakistan’s bowling onslaught.
Pakistan skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Sana-Mir-c88459, devastated the Irish with her three-wicket haul, as Ireland failed to muster a big total.
