For once, can our ladies show a good fight...

its like war games, not sports - typical ******* Pakistan

 

[MenInG]

Drizzle happening and covers are on...

 

[Shafi]

Better rain wash out the match. Pakistan sports are waste of money. Even NZ beat us today by 4-1 in commonwealth hockey. We were lucky not to consume 8-10 goals.

Kaur: Two changes for us. Wanted to bowl first. Always better to chase in these conditions. Want to go with the same approach (as against Australia).

Bismah: We'll bat first. It's an important match, will like to put on a target. Very important match to stay alive.

My fav pak player is Diana Baig, good rhythmic action, good bowler.

[Saj]

Clueless would be a generous term for the way Pak women batted.

Rabbits caught in the headlights.

 

[Cricfan4eva]

Some really poor decision from Pakistan here. I know there is a gulf in quality between these 2 teams.

But if it's raining, you always chase. And the pitch was damp first up, why bat first after winning the toss?

PAKW 99 (18)

A solid bowling performance followed by a brilliant opening stand between Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma helped India to an eight-wicket win over Pakistan in the Commonwealth Games.

Match 4: India v Pakistan
Toss: Pakistan elected to bat

Result: India won by eight wickets

India beat Pakistan by eight wickets to register their first win in the 2022 Commonwealth Games in a rain-affected 18 overs-per-side match.

Pakistan made a steady start with the bat despite losing an early wicket, but things took a downward curve after Sneh Rana took two wickets in the ninth over to send back set batters Bismah Maroof(17) and Muneeba Ali(32).

Wickets continued to fall regularly, with India piling on the pressure with some excellent fielding. S Meghana pulled off a direct hit at the non-striker's end to dismiss Aliya Riaz shortly after Omaima Sohail was also run out.

Shafali Verma would take a low, diving return catch in the penultimate over, one of the highlights of India's outstanding fielding display in the match.

Bowled out for 99 in the rain-shortened 18-over game, Pakistan had their task cut out with Smriti Mandhana coming out all guns blazing. The left-handed opener thumped Anam Amin for a six and a four in the second over and added three more boundaries in the next over off Diana Baig.

Shafali Verma added to Pakistan's woes with a six and a four next over. In the last over of the Powerplay, Pakistan managed to send back Verma, but India were already 61/1 and well on track to ace the run chase.

Mandhana soon brought up her fifty with a six and stood unbeaten as India completed the run chase with more than eight overs to spare.

Ramiz has been a disaster

Ramiz has been a disaster

Lol who cares about women cricket who quality is nothing better then a second 11 cricket.

 

[Savak]

The PCB has invested a lot in women's cricket in the past 3-4 years. Sadly the performances of our female players only reinforces the feeling they are not worth the investment.

Sponsorship is only attracted by success. You can beg all you want but these performances will not attract any private interest in women's cricket.

 

[Shafi]

Ramiz has been a disaster

Yeah!!! Blame Ramiz for dull players.

[sweep_shot]

This is true.

Indian ladies get to play more cricket. The more you play, the more you get better.

 

[JaDed]

This is true.

Indian ladies get to play more cricket. The more you play, the more you get better.

But those leagues are not doing charity.. they don’t pick all Indian players they pick a few because of their skill and talent.

Bismah is expecting charity here in terms of getting selected automatically? Or is she asking PCB to set up a PSL women she isn’t being clear here.

 

[muqarrab]

Yeah!!! Blame Ramiz for dull players.

Ramee'z responsibility to hold team and management accountable for performance and results.

 

[Shafi]

Ramee'z responsibility to hold team and management accountable for performance and results.

If I was Ramiz, I will dissolve Women's cricket and save money.

 

[Shafi]

Yeah right!!! You can play 50 leagues and 1000 years and still will perform like this. Just admit that you don't have it and give up with pride.
