• Two three-day and three one-day matches to be played at Khan Research Laboratories Ground from 25 October till 8 November

Lahore, 21 October 2019:

As full restoration of international cricket in the country continues, Pakistan will host Bangladesh U16 for two three-day and three one-day matches from 25 October till 8 November.

The Bangladesh side will arrive in Rawalpindi on October 22 for what is the reciprocal tour after Pakistan U16 toured Bangladesh earlier this year in April and May.

The five matches will be played at Rawalpindi’s Khan Research Laboratories Ground (KRLG).

During this time, Bangladesh women’s team will be in Lahore for three T2oIs and two ODIs against Pakistan women’s team.

After the success of Sri Lanka’s tour of Karachi and Lahore, this series is expected to further underscore Pakistan’s ability to host international teams and establish the country as a safe tourist destination ahead of Sri Lanka’s return to Pakistan in December for Tests and Bangladesh’s men’s team tour early next year.

PCB Director – International Cricket Operation, Zakir Khan said: “I want to thank the Bangladesh Cricket Board for sending their U16 side to Pakistan. Competitive age-group cricket serves great opportunity to emerging players to enhance their skills and at the same time it helps the selectors to identify the upcoming talent.

“I am sure this series will not only help both boards identify the future stars of their respective countries but will also establish confidence in Pakistan’s ability to host more top-flight cricket in the country.”

National Women’s Cricket Team Captain Bisma Maroof says that the arrival of Bangladesh Women team to Pakistan is an honorable thing.

Speaking at a press conference at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, Bisma Maroof said that Bangladesh’s team is Asian champion and that would make the competition tough.

“Holding an international series in Pakistan is very important. We want to play as many matches as possible so that our rankings get better,” said Bisma.

She added that both the batting and bowling sectors will be given priority while former captain Sana Mir will not be part of the team in the first match.

Bisma Maroof said that there was a shortage of backup players, we have to bring improvement to our team.

Talking about Nida Dar, said that it is a good thing that Nida has gone to the Big Bash League but domestic cricket should be given first priority.

On the other hand, Salma Khatoon, captain of the Bangladesh Women’s Cricket Team, said at the conference that we are thankful to the Pakistan Cricket Board as they invited us, we are much excited to play in Pakistan.

She further said that the series against Pakistan will prove to be good for the World Cup. We will try to improve our ranking by winning the series.

She also added that Pakistan is considered one of the best countries in Asia, and hopefully the bilateral relations will also get improve through the Women series.

LAHORE - Pakistan women cricket team captain Bismah Maroof has said that the Bangladesh women team tour is a step forward in the full resumption of international cricket in the country.

Speaking at the trophy unveiling ceremony of Pak-Bangladesh series along with touring captain Salma Khatun, here at Gaddafi Stadium on Thursday, Bismah said: “We are thankful to Bangladesh team for their tour to Pakistan to play three T20s and two ODIs and definitely this tour will supplement the ongoing efforts of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) for bringing international cricket in the country.”

The home captain promised exciting series and described Bangladesh as ‘tough opponents’. “We look forward to thrilling and entertaining cricket during the matches and we are confident that Pakistan team will excel in all departments of the game to aim for success,” she added.

Replying to a query, she said that Pakistan women cricket team’s main strength has always been its bowlers - both pace and spin attack - and called upon the fellow colleagues to demonstrate all-round performance to outsmart the visiting side. “It is not fair to depend or have reliance on one department. Out batters should also perform to share the burden as in today’s competitive cricket, every player in the team needs to perform to a higher level to enhance team’s performance.”

Pakistan will be missing the experience and valuable services of ace all-rounder Sana Mir and Nida Dar. Sana is currently on a visit of America to receive the Asia Game Changer award, which is a big honour not only for her but also for the country. Nida is currently taking part in the ongoing Women’s Big Bash League (WBBL) in Australia.

“Definitely, they are the experienced players and their absence will make a big difference but we will be working hard to fill the void,” she added. Sana is expected to join the team on October 26. Regarding Nida’s participation in the Big Bash League in Australia, she said representing the country should be the top priority for any player but it was PCB’s decision to allow her to play in the league.

Bismah said she is excited to play at home ground in front of home crowd as international cricket returns to Pakistan after a long gap. “Every player is eager to demonstrate best of her ability and all the players are passionate to put up good performance in their own arena,” she said.

Pakistan captain said the former foreign coach of the team, Mark Coles, helped a lot in improving team’s performance and was a great source of learning for the players.

Bangladesh captain Salma Khatun said they look to a tough and thrilling series. She expressed her gratitude to the PCB for inviting them to tour Pakistan. “I have good experience and memories of playing in Pakistan as earlier we played at Karachi, which was a pleasant experience.”

She expressed the hope that this tour will add to the experience and confidence of her side. “Pakistan is a superior side in view of their international ranking and definitely, the home side will be going all-out against us and they will be a tough opponent to beat in their own backyard. We will be playing good cricket regardless of results.” The Bangladesh captain said her side has good batters and bowlers, who are full of fighting spirit to beat Pakistan.

The opening clash of the three-match T20I series will be played on Saturday, with the subsequent to games set to be staged on October 28 and 30 respectively.

Lahore, 25 October 2019:

For the first time in history, Pakistan women will be in action at the home of Pakistan cricket when they will host Bangladesh women in a three-match T20I series on Saturday.

The two teams meet in the shortest format for the second time in 13 months after Bangladesh hosted Pakistan in a four-match T20I series in October last year, which Pakistan won 3-0.

The upcoming series also serves a perfect opportunity to the hosts to test their bench strength with their mainstay Nida Dar in Australia for the Women Big Bash League, while their most experienced campaigner Sana Mir unavailable for the series opener.

The T20I series is part of Bangladesh women’s 10-day tour in which they will also play two one-day internationals against Pakistan at the same venue.

With Pakistan slated to host world champions England in the ICC Women’s Championship in Malaysia in December, these matches serve an opportunity to get their permutations and combinations right.

In line with its policy to develop and promote women’s cricket, the Pakistan Cricket Board will live stream the tour on its YouTube channel.

Speaking ahead of the series, Pakistan captain Bismah Maroof said: “We are coming from a 10-day camp in which we put great emphasis on our fielding. Our bowlers worked on bettering different variations and the batters are looking in good form. We are well-aware of the challenge that the Bangladesh present and this will surely be an exciting series.

“This series is the season-opener for us and we want to start off on a winning note as it will help us in building the momentum ahead of the England and West Indies series.

“With our key player Nida Dar unavailable for this series and Sana Mir joining the side from the second T20I, we have inducted some youngsters in the squad. So there’s an opportunity for them to grab the opportunity and leave a mark ahead of what promises to be an exciting season.

“This is the first time we will be playing in Lahore and the girls are pretty charged up. We look forward to playing in Lahore and expect the fans to fill up the stadia to support women’s cricket.”

Bangladesh T20I captain Salma Khatun said: “We are very much looking forward to the series against a strong Pakistan side, who will be particularly tough in home conditions.

“It is nice to be back. Pakistan are a familiar opponent for us and we have had some pretty exciting matches over the years.

“Our side thrives on team spirit. A nice balance has developed in our game and I am confident that we will be very competitive in the series.”

Pakistan U16 fast bowler Ahmad Khan took a four-wicket haul as the visiting Bangladesh U16 side were bowled out for 204 on the first day of the three-day match at KRL stadium in Rawalpindi on Friday.

In reply, Pakistan U16 were 40 for four in 19.2 overs when play ended 6.4 overs remaining due to bad light.

Pakistan U16 (1st innings) 40-4, 19.2 overs (Mohammad Shehzad 19; Ahmood Sharif 2-6, Mohammad Musfik Hasan 2-9)
 
I think our local coaches are rubbish and they don't have any ability to coach any international team whether its male or female team.
Under Misbah we were whitewashed by SL D and will be later by Australia...
Same goes to our female team. Our team beat SA in SA, WI in UAE under foreign coach now will be whitewashed by BD. Same aggressive players are play tuktuk.

Our cricket future is very bleak in both male and female field.
 
Pakistan women made history on Saturday by beating Bangladesh women by 14 runs in the first of the three-match T20I series at the Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore.

Playing their first-ever international match at the home of Pakistan cricket, Pakistan elected to bat after winning the toss.

Captain Bismah Maroof and Omaima Sohail crafted a gutsy 60-run partnership for the third-wicket after Pakistan had lost both openers inside three overs with just 15 runs on board.

Bismah cracked 34 runs from 29 balls, hitting six fours, to be the top-scorer from her side, while Omaima scored a 36-ball 33 with four fours.

Batting at six, Iram Javed struck two sixes and a four for her 21 runs from 17 balls.

That Pakistan women were able to set a 127-run target for the tourists was due to Sidra Nawaz’s four fours from her five-ball stay at the crease. The wicketkeeper-batter scored an unbeaten 16.

For Bangladesh, right-arm pacer Jahanara Alam picked up four wickets for 17 runs in her four overs.

Bangladesh struggled from the onset of their run-chase.

Their openers Shamima Sultana and Ayesha Rahman were back in the pavilion in 2.2 overs as the scoreboard read six for two.

A 30-ball 50 – studded with six fours and two sixes – by Rumana Ahmed kept Bangladesh alive in the run-chase as the 28-year-old all-rounder batted till the last over.

She failed to receive the desired support from the other end with the wickets tumbling at regular intervals.

The next best score in the run-chase was from Nigar Sultana, who scored 17 from 30.

Marking her return to the national side, Anam Amin picked up two wickets for 13 runs in four overs, while all other bowlers picked up a wicket each.

Bismah, for her 34 with the bat and one for 26 with the ball, bagged the man-of-the-match award.

The second T20I will be held on Monday at the same venue and is scheduled to begin at 1000.

Looks like BD has far better players than us in U-19, U-16 or even domestic players in both male and female departments.
Our cricket future is very bleak in both male and female field.

NCA is a waste of money, it should be closed down and all the employees sacked.

We are getting humiliated by Bangladesh and Afghanistan

Javeria, Bismah, Sadia hand Pakistan T20I series win over Bangladesh

Lahore, 28 October 2019:

Half-centuries by Javeria Khan and captain Bismah Maroof helped Pakistan women to a 15-run win over Bangladesh women in the second T20I at Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium and seal the three-match series 2-0.

Pakistan put 167 for three in 20 overs, their third-highest total in the format, after being asked to bat by Bangladesh captain Salma Khatun

That Pakistan put the imposing score was due to a 95-run partnership for the second-wicket between Javeria and Bismah.

Batting at one-drop, the Pakistan captain recorded her highest score in the format as she cracked an unbeaten 70 off 50 balls, studded with nine fours and a six. This was her 10th half-century in the T20Is.

Opening batter Javeria scored a 44-ball 52, hitting five fours and two sixes, before she lost her wicket in the 17th over of the innings to Bangladesh fast-bowler Jahanara Alam, who with two for 27 in four overs was the stand-out bowler for her side.

Bangladesh failed to get a solid platform that the run-chase demanded as both openers Ayesha Rahman (five off six balls)and Shamima Sultana (11 off 14) were back in the pavilion by the end of the fifth over as the scorecard read 25 for two.

With three balls still left in the Powerplay, Rumana Ahmed, who top-scored with a 30-ball 50 for Bangladesh in the first T2oI, followed Ayesha and Shamima back to the pavilion without scoring any runs as Bangladesh reeled at 25 for three.

With a 32-ball 45, Sanjida Islam put up a fight to keep Bangladesh’s hopes alive in the match. But, her stay at the crease was curtailed by Sadia Iqbal.

With the figures of three for 19 in four overs, the 24-year-old Sadia, playing her only second T20I, starred with the ball as Pakistan successfully defended their total.

Pakistan captain Bismah bagged her second player-of-the-match award on trot for her exploits with the bat.

Scores in brief:

Pakistan Women 167-3, 20 overs (Bismah Maroof 70 not out, Javeria Khan 52; Jahanara Alam 2-27)

Bangladesh Women 152-7, 20 overs (Sanjida Islam 45, Fargana Hoque 30, Nigar Sultana 21; Sadia Iqbal 3-19)

Bangladesh’s pacer Jahanara Alam was once again the pick of the bowlers as she took three wickets for 12 runs in four overs, while Rumana Ahmed took two wickets for 19 runs.

Anam Amin’s left-arm spin put a dent in Bangladesh’s run-chase from the onset as she bowled Sharmin Akhter and Sanjida Islam in space of three deliveries in the second over of the visitors’ innings.

Bangladesh failed to recover from the early blows as Pakistan tightened their grip over the match. Anam and debutant Saba Nazir finished with two wickets each for 10 and 22 runs, respectively.

The best score in Bangladesh’s run-chase was 30 from 44 balls, which came from Nigar Sultana. With a 26-ball 27, Fargana Hoque was the other notable run-getter.

Pakistan-Bangladesh face-off in two-match ODI series on Saturday

• “Our aim is to win both the one-dayers and make the most of the momentum we have got from the T20I series win,” says Pakistan captain Bismah Maroof

• “The ODI series presents us with a chance to pounce back and we have a firm believe that we will do better in the upcoming two matches,” says Bangladesh captain Rumana Ahmed

• ODIs to be played at Gaddafi Stadium on 2 and 4 November

Lahore, 1 November 2019:

After securing a three-nil T20I series win, Pakistan women will aim for another clean-sweep when they will host Bangladesh women in the opening ODI of the two-match series at the Gaddafi Stadium on Saturday.

Ahead of their next month’s final round ICC Women’s Championship fixture against world champions England in Malaysia, this series provides a crucial opportunity to the Bismah Maroof-led side to get their permutations and combinations right.

Pakistan are currently ranked fifth in the eight-team series and a win against England will see them secure automatic qualification for the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2021 in New Zealand by breaking into the top four.

Bangladesh will take inspiration from the most recent ODI outing between the two sides in October 2018. The only ODI during Pakistan’s tour of Bangladesh ended in the host’s comfortable six-wicket win.

The two teams have overall played eight ODIs with Pakistan having an upper hand with five wins. The remaining three were won by Bangladesh.

Saturday will also mark the first instance when Pakistan will play an ODI at the country’s home of cricket, the Gaddafi Stadium.

Pakistan captain Bismah Maroof: “We have two one-dayers against Bangladesh and our aim is to win both of them. The T20I series was our season-opener and we needed that win to get the momentum. Now, we have gotten it, we will look to make the most of it in the ODI series.

“Our one-day team has been doing well of late and the girls are ready to confront all the challenges that come their way. It was evident in the T20I series when everyone stood up and delivered in pressure moments.”

Bangladesh captain Rumana Ahmed: “There’s a little worry in the camp after the T20I series defeat but we are looking at the positives. The ODI series present us chances to pounce back and we have a firm believe that we will do better in the upcoming two matches.

“We have good performers in both departments but my observation is that our main strength will be out bowling attack.”

Ibrar Afzal (47) and Aliyan Mehmood (32 not out) helped the team to post a formidable score.
Ibrar’s innings included five fours and a six.

For Bangladesh, right-arm leg-spinner Shamsul Islam took five wickets for 88 in 34 overs. Ahosun Habib with his slow left-arm spin grabbed four wickets for 63 in 21.4 overs.

Pakistan women’s team skipper Bismah Maroof wants the revival of India-Pakistan cricketing relations by putting all political differences aside.

While talking to the media in Lahore ahead of their two-match ODI series against Bangladesh, Bismah said that India always brings politics into the game which is not right.

“The people of India and Pakistan love cricket. We all know how passionate people of both the countries are about this game,

“Being a cricketer, I also want to represent my country against India. In fact, players of both the countries want the same,” she said.

On the other hand, Bismah highly rated his team’s chances to win two-match ODI series against Bangladesh. She thinks that a couple of changes in the team according to the situation will help them fill in the gaps.

“We have made changes accordingly and I hope the girls will carry on the momentum,” she maintained.

It is pertinent to mention here that Pakistan and Bangladesh will play first ODI on November 2 while second on 4.

Pakistan women beat Bangladesh women by 29 runs in the first ODI at Gaddafi Stadium and attained an unassailable lead in the two-match series.

Pakistan, after opting to bat, managed 215 all-out in 48.5 overs, thanks to Nahida Khan’s half-century.

The opener scored 68 runs off 97 balls, hitting seven fours, and stitched a crucial 61-run partnership for the third-wicket with captain Bismah Maroof (39 off 43) over the course of her stay at the crease.

Pakistan got off to a slow start and had only 59 runs on the board when they lost their first wicket – Sidra Amin, who scored 21 runs from 67 balls – in 20.3 overs.

That they were able to post a defensible total was due to a late surge by Omaima Sohail and Aliya Riaz.

Aliya’s 33-ball stay at the crease was studded with three fours and a six.

Panna Ghosh and Nahida Akter picked up two wickets each for 12 and 15 runs, bowling two and three maidens respectively.

Bangladesh stuttered right from the beginning in their run-chase and had their three batters back in the pavilion inside the first 10 overs.

Sana Mir made inroads in her first over, the second of the innings, with the wicket of Murshida Khatun (four off nine) and trapped Sanjida Islam LBW for duck in the second.

When debutant Sadia Iqbal accounted for Sharmin Akhter’s wicket in the penultimate ball of the 10th over, Bangladesh had lost their third wicket with only 41 runs on the board.

Nigar Sultana’s half-century instilled hope in Bangladesh’s chase.

But when she lost her wicket in the 47th over off Sana’s bowling, Pakistan had firmly gripped the match as Bangladesh required 40 off 21 balls.

Nigar hit four fours and a six and was Bangladesh’s top-scorer with 58 runs off 77 balls.

Sana’s three for 49 was the best in the innings, while Diana Baig and Sadia Iqbal picked up two wickets each for 43 and 38 runs.

For her exploits with the bat, Nahida bagged the player of the match award.

Key Points
Most of our girls are not fit enough to play cricket.
Like men's team there is no power hitter except Asif clone Omaima
Running between the wicket is also very poor.
Too many dot balls queen in our team.
Local coach doesn't have any idea like Misbah how to coach the team
We were extremely lucky that BD choke most of the matches otherwise they would easily win both T20 and ODI series.
Like men's team our girls need foreign coach other wise no point to have a female cricket team
Sana Mir should retire because apart from ok bowling here and there she has nothing to offer
