The Pakistani women’s cricket team won yet another warm-up match ahead of the ICC Women’s World Cup. Pakistan continued their winning streak by defeating Bangladesh in a nail-biting conclusion. In a truncated 42-over encounter, Pakistan’s seasoned hitters Javeria Khan and captain Bismah Maroof struck 44 and 32 runs, respectively, before Aliya Riaz upped the pace with a fast 45-run knock to push the total to 199/7.
In response, Bangladesh were swept out for 194 after failing to cope with the world-class bowling of Fatima Sana and Nashra Sandhu. The match was won by Pakistan by 5 runs. Nida Dar and Diana Baig, two of Pakistan’s most seasoned bowlers, helped the team defend the mark. This will provide the team a much-needed boost of confidence before the big event. This was Pakistan’s second straight win in World Cup warm-up games. They had earlier shocked the cricketing world by defeating New Zealand by four wickets.
In their first match of the ICC Women’s World Cup 2022, the Women in Green will face India. The match will take place on March 6th in Mount Maunganui. At 6:00 a.m. Pakistan Standard Time, the match will begin.
