Pakistan Women Seize 1-0 Lead After Thumping Win Over Zimbabwe

Pakistan enter Wednesday’s second ODI in Karachi as favorites to wrap up the series.

Overview

Pakistan Women, who won the opener by 168 runs on Monday, now lead the three-match ODI series 1-0.
Sadaf Shamas anchored 330 for 5 with 98, setting the platform through a 162-run opening stand with Gull Feroza.
Zimbabwe were bowled out for 162 in 36.4 overs as Pakistan shared the wickets, with Beloved Biza’s 53 the main resistance.
The second ODI is scheduled for Wednesday, May 6, at the National Stadium, with previews suggesting a bat-first call on a batting-friendly afternoon surface.
Analysts highlight Zimbabwe’s 28 wides in the first game as a costly lapse in control that could tighten the contest if fixed.
