Even if Pakistan had any chance in this game, Smriti Mandhana killed all their hopes with a blazing 63 not out that came off just 42 balls. Her innings was laced with 8 fours and 3 sixes.
This is positive cricket from Ayesha Naseem. She has just come to the crease but didn't waste time in punishing the short ball for a four towards cow corner.
Rana strikes again! This time, she gets the set batter Muneeba Ali. The southpaw played the ball back into the hands of Rana and departs for a 30-ball 32.
A boundary comes for Pakistan after a long time. It was a short ball from Meghna Singh and Muneeba Ali gave it her everything. The ball took the outside edge of her bat and ran for a boundary towards fine leg.
