Women's T20 WC: Pakistan Stun Sri Lanka In Opening Day Shock
ICC Women's T20 World Cup: Pakistan produced a superb all-round display to beat Sri Lanka in the second match of the ICC Women's T20 World Cup and start their campaign on a winning note at the Sharjah Cricket Stadium here on Thursday. Fatima Sana’s side defied the form book to beat the Asian Cup Champions by 31 runs, posting 116 in the first innings and then bowling superbly to restrict Sri Lanka to 85/9.
Pakistan’s captain Sana made the crucial early breakthrough to remove Sri Lanka opener Chamari Athapathu and give hope that her side could successfully defend a relatively modest first-innings total. And her fellow bowlers kept things impressively tight, denying Sri Lanka boundaries and picking up frequent wickets as the scoring rate soared.
