Pakistan Women Eye T20I Series Win Over Zimbabwe After Record-Setting Opener

The scale of the first-game rout gives Pakistan room to test combinations without losing control of the series.

Overview

  • Pakistan lead the three-match T20I series 1-0 and can clinch the trophy in Karachi, with CricketAddictor and CricTracker both predicting another home win.
  • The opener produced Pakistan’s highest women’s T20I score at 237 for 5, powered by Ayesha Zafar’s 102 not out off 47 balls with support from Aliya Riaz’s 48 and Gull Feroza’s 37.
  • Zimbabwe were bowled out for 84 in 18.2 overs as captain Fatima Sana took 3 for 7, while Natalia Pervaiz and Sadia Iqbal chipped in with two wickets each.
  • Viewers can stream the second match on the PCB’s YouTube channel in Pakistan and on FanCode in India, and there is no television broadcast in India.
  • Previews describe a batting-friendly Karachi pitch and post near-identical probable XIs, and Pakistan’s earlier 3-0 ODI sweep underscores the gulf between the sides.
