KARACHI: Pakistan Women’s cricket team produced a dominating performance in the second One Day International (ODI) against Zimbabwe Women, securing a historic 206-run victory at the National Bank Stadium in Karachi. The win gave Pakistan a series-clinching 2-0 lead.
The batting side was Pakistan ladies who piled up 343 for 4 in 50 overs after opting to bat. Their top-order batsmen, including opener Gul Feroza and Sadaf Shams, contributed with an unbeaten 189-run opening stand for the first wicket. Feroza and Shams scored 100 runs and 101 not out, respectively. Sadra Amin played a vital role by contributing 59 not out towards the huge total.
Zimbabwe’s batting lineup could only manage 137 in reply, which became easier for them to achieve with the disciplined bowling display by Pakistan ladies.
