Today , Jemima smashes not just 8 fours , hits 53 of 38 balls , and silences doubters like you ...

Horrible bowling by Pak after 14th over.... Gully cricket lvl last 4 overs... No line and length...
 
Ayesha Naseem sent in at number 6

Look at the death bowling

Look at the field-placings.

Look at the fielding.

Look at the attitude of some of the players - doing nothing yet walking around as if they are Viv Richards.

The Pakistan women set-up is so amateur, it's embarrassing.
 
Just like the men's team... habit of giving away game from winning position.

And about the setup its same as men's team :)
 
I believe women's cricket is a has a huge untapped market in India. Good on IPL to start a women league. For the first few years it has to be supplemented by men's IPL, but in few years it will be able to sustain on its own.
 
Pretty close match. It was 17th over that 3 boundaries by gosh released the pressure.Pakistan team fought well, but it's their feilding cost them.
 
Nida Dar:

Duck
Rubbish with the ball
Terrible in the field
Walking around as if she's scored a 100

Terrible attitude

To be fair they have India a closer game then their male counterparts usually do…..
 
Good performance this from PakW.
India are powerhouse only slightly behind world beater Aussies. If they perform like this against other teams they can do well this tournament.
They have decent talent in batting in Bismah, Ayesha, Nida . Need to do better in bowling and get plans right.

Jemimah Rodrigues’s ruthless late assault helped power India past rivals Pakistan at the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup.

Chasing a target of 150 to win, the Indian No.3 struck a brilliant 53 not out off just 38 deliveries to haul her team over the line with one over remaining.

Pakistan captain Bismah Maroof helped anchor her side to a competitive total of 149 for four after winning the toss in Cape Town.

Nashra Sandhu’s economical spell of left-arm spin had looked to put Pakistan in pole position for victory but Rodrigues, accompanied by wicketkeeper Richa Ghosh, embarked on a thrilling onslaught to fire India to a seven-wicket win in Group B.

After losing the toss, India required fewer than two overs to grab the breakthrough as off-spinner Deepti Sharma removed Javeria Khan for eight.

That brought Bismah to the crease and accompanied by Muneeba Ali, the Pakistan skipper helped construct a partnership of 32 before wicketkeeper Muneeba was stumped off the bowling of Radha Yadav.

Bismah then lost new partner Nida Dar off just her second delivery – caught behind by Ghosh off Pooja Vastrakar – before Sidra Ameen was similarly snared by the India wicketkeeper off left-arm spinner Yadav.

But Bismah continued to motor on, finding a longer-term partner in the form of Ayesha Naseem and soon bringing up her 50 off 45 deliveries.

Ayesha’s arrival injected additional urgency into proceedings as she struck Renuka Singh for a four and six in consecutive deliveries.

And she cleared the rope once again in the final over to help haul her side to a total of 149 for four, finishing with a power-packed 43 not out off just 25 balls with Bismah on an unbeaten 68 at the other end.

India started solidly in their pursuit of the target as openers Yastika Bhatia and Shafali Verma put on 33 heading into the final over of the powerplay.

But Pakistan soon struck as Sadia Iqbal removed Bhatia for 17, chipping straight to Fatima Sana who held a straightforward catch at cover.

Verma navigated her way to a measured 33 off 25 balls before Pakistan claimed their second scalp, Sidra pulling off a stunning catch on the boundary off Nashra.

Nashra’s impressive middle overs spell continued to turn the screw for Pakistan and she soon struck once again by dismissing Indian captain Harmanpreet Kaur, caught by opposite number Bismah when attempting a slog sweep on 16.

That looked to put Pakistan on the brink of victory but India responded in style, with Rodrigues leading the charge alongside Ghosh.

The dangerous duo clattered a combined 27 runs off the 17th and 18th overs to leave their side with just 14 required from the final 12 balls.
And they only required half of that number to do so as Rodrigues struck three fours off Sana’s final over to bring up a brilliant half-century and fire her side to a memorable T20 World Cup victory.

Scores in brief:
India beat Pakistan at Cape Town by seven wickets

Pakistan 149 for four in 20 overs (Bismah Maroof 68 not out, Ayesha Naseem 43 not out; Radha Yadav 2/21, Pooja Vastrakar 1/31)
India 151 for three in 19 overs (Jemimah Rodrigues 53 not out, Shafali Verma 33; Nashra Sandhu 2/15, Sadia Iqbal 1/25)

Player of the Match: Jemimah Rodrigues (India)

You may be joking, but Pakistan women's team needs more support. Both financially and most importantly public support. They already have some talented players. Ayesha and Bismah should be in Women's IPL.

They need more support. Too critical of a bunch that are fighting it out against all odds.

Well, I don’t think they are that well funded.
More to the point, what better use would you apply the small sum given to the women’s game ?
(not sure extra funding will solve the multiple issues of the men’s game).

The true cricketing powerhouses of world cricket — India, England and Aus are actively supporting the women’s game.
 
Pakistani womens maybe in 10 years they will improve 🤔

Congrats India :)

Virat Kohli’s MCG heroics helped inspire India’s thrilling win over Pakistan at the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup in Cape Town on Sunday, admitted match-winner Jemimah Rodrigues.

Rodrigues blasted a brilliant 53 not out off 38 deliveries to steer her side to a memorable seven-wicket win.

And those exploits saw her emulate Kohli’s similarly decisive innings against the same opponent in the men’s competition last year, anchoring India to a heart-thumping four-wicket triumph with a stunning 82 not out off 53 balls in Melbourne.

Rodrigues says playing against Pakistan injected an extra edge to their Group B showdown and memories of watching Kohli helped haul India over the line.

The 22-year-old said: "India vs Pakistan matches are always a little bit more special – we spoke about it in the team meeting.

"Growing up we always watched these matches. I remember watching the match at the MCG where Virat Kohli played such an extraordinary knock.

"We did speak about it but we also just wanted to go out there and put our first win on the board.

"We just wanted to go out, play the same cricket and with the same intensity as usual.

"I knew we had to build partnerships, and I knew if we took it deep we will win.

"We knew they would bowl a bad ball eventually and we would capitalise – it was a difficult wicket but being set helped.

"This was a team effort. We will let the win sink in, but the tournament has just begun.

"We want to do the simple things correctly and then the results will take care of themselves."

Rodrigues came into the tournament off the back of a barren run of form but, accompanied by wicketkeeper Richa Ghosh (31 not out), laid those demons to rest in style on Sunday.

She had notched just a solitary score of over 30 in her last 10 international T20 innings but bounced back when it mattered against her nation’s historic rivals.

She added: "This innings means a lot to me – I hadn't been getting scores for a long time. As a batter when you’re not getting scores, it’s definitely not an enjoyable time.

"I was working really hard in the nets, I knew I was ticking all the boxes, putting in the effort and going to the gym.

"It was very tough but when it mattered the most, it came, so it was very special for me.”

Pakistan captain Bismah Maroof’s 68 not out helped guide her side to a competitive 149/4 after winning the toss in Cape Town.

Ayesha Naseem also struck an eye-catching 43 off 25 balls as spinner Radha Yadav (2/21) starred with the ball for India.

Nashra Sandhu’s similarly economical four overs of left-arm spin (2/15) looked to put Pakistan in pole position for victory when Ghosh joined Rodrigues at the crease.

But the dynamic duo blasted a combined 27 runs from the 17th and 18th overs as Rodrigues helped lead them to an opening game victory.

Bismah said: "We played very good cricket throughout the match. There were errors in our bowling, but overall it was a good match.

"We were good at many times, but we did make some mistakes as a bowling unit.

"There are lots of learnings and we’re planning to be better next game.

"The roles we have given to the girls, they played well. The role Ayesha had was crucial at the time.

"It was very loud and fun to play in front of that crowd – I really enjoyed it.

"The last five or six overs we gave them a few too many runs and boundaries at the wrong time.”

Pakistan has only recently started pumping resources in its women's cricket in the last 3-4 years. It will take time to get returns. Hopefully the women's PSL will help professionalize and uplift Pakistan's women's cricket.

Pakistan Women won by 70 runs
 
Muneeba Ali’s century powered Pakistan to a 70-run victory over Ireland for their first win of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2023.

The wicketkeeper-batter became the first Pakistani woman to hit a hundred in a T20 international to propel her side to 165 for five.

In reply, Ireland stuttered as Nashra Sundhu picked up four wickets for 18 from her four overs as Orla Prendergast and Eimear Richardson’s contributions were not enough to stop their second defeat.

Opener Muneeba led the charge for Pakistan, scoring 33 of the 44 runs she and Javeria Khan put on for the first wicket before Javeria was run out by Mary Waldron.

Captain Bismah Maroof added only four runs to the 68 not out she made against India as Arlene Kelly’s fingertips just clung on to a low catch to reduce Pakistan to 55 for two.

The wicket brought out Nida Dar, who unusually played the patient role next to Muneeba, who brought up her half-century from 40 balls by surviving the first of two drops by Louise Little.

Muneeba began to put on show for the crowd, as she brought up Pakistan’s one hundred by pulling Laura Delany on one knee for the second of back-to-back boundaries.

Nida was not to be out done, dancing down the wicket to smash Cara Murray for six, but she could only watch as Muneeba raced past her best score of 75 to become Pakistan’s highest scorer in T20Is.

With eight balls of the innings remaining, Muneeba brought up her maiden T20I hundred, the sixth scored in ICC Women’s T20 World Cups.

In an eventful over, the hundred partnership followed a ball later, before Muneeba departed for 102 from 67 off Leah Paul’s final delivery, and was welcomed back to the dug out with a standing ovation and a hug from a beaming Bismah.

Nida and Ayesha Naseem also fell in the final over but it did not remove the skipper’s smile as Pakistan set Ireland 166 to win.

Ireland’s lost steady wickets due lapses of concentrations, starting with Amy Hunter, who departed in the second over as Nashra took a fine catch over her shoulder.

Nida bowled four dot balls in a row and then had Gaby Lewis caught behind by Muneeba, who was never far from the action at Newlands.

Prendergast gave Ireland a platform with a fluent 31, including back-to-back boundaries, but her luck ran out when she was caught by Sadia Iqbal for Nashra’s second wicket.

Tuba Hassan then took her first World Cup wicket by dismissing Delany for eight.

Richardson was searching for a partner, but could only watch on as Little was stumped by Muneeba for three. However, unperturbed, the right hander started to find the boundary consistently, taking 16 runs off Aliya Riaz’s first over.

However, she was next to depart when attempting a scoop, before Javeria caught Waldron to give Nashra her best figures of four for 18 and reduce Ireland to 89 for seven.

Unlike Ireland, Pakistan were sharp in the field, as Kelly departed for just one thanks to a low catch from Aiman Anwer.

Murray and Paul were the final two victims as Pakistan wrapped up the victory with 21 balls remaining.

Scores in brief

Pakistan 165/5 in 20 overs (Muneeba Ali 102, Nida Dar 33; Arlene Kelly 2/27, Laura Delany 1/20)

Player of the Match: Muneeba Ali (Pakistan)
 
It is do or die for the West Indies in Sunday’s must-win clash with Pakistan, but Shemaine Campbelle insists her side will not let the pressure get to them in Paarl.

Victory over Ireland on Friday gave West Indies a slim chance of progression from Group 2, after defeats against England and India, thanks to an unbeaten 66 from Hayley Matthews.

But in order to give themselves any chance of a place in the knockout stages, they must defeat Pakistan, buoyed by their own victory over Ireland after Muneeba Ali’s incredible 102.

Pressure will be on both sides to go out and back that win up to apply pressure to the top two, but Campbelle is adamant that the West Indies will stick to their guns and enjoy themselves.

She said: “Obviously we're not going to think about that much to add any pressure on ourselves.

“It's just to go out and play the brand of cricket that we can play and just doing the basic things right.

“Then we can just play the cricket that we know we can play and at the end of the day the results will come.

“They come in with a win, we also have a win so I think both teams have that confidence but it's just for us to go out and apply ourselves and just play the brand of cricket that we know we can play.”

Campbelle herself scored just eight runs in that win over Ireland, but after scores of 34 and 30 against England and India, she is finding her form, but is all too aware there is more work to do.

She added: “Over the year I've been fighting myself to get runs for the team but I just got this form that I find in myself works well - but it's just for me to take it longer and try to bat deep down for the team.

“That is especially in that middle part because that's where most of my game comes into play.

“I think it's for me now to capitalise and just take it deep, so that's something I will look to do.”

It is set to be compelling viewing at Boland Park with both sides needing victory and coming into the game off the back of wins, something Pakistan bowler Aiman Anwer believes will give her side the edge.

She said: “It is a very important match, it is crucial to stay alive in this tournament and we have had very good preparation for it.

“We are confident after the Ireland victory that if we play with our full potential in this match, we can win the match.

“I think the West Indies team are very good and every player in their team is a striker so we can never take them easy.”

Pakistan were narrowly defeated the last time they played at Boland Park, losing to South Africa in a World Cup warm-up match, and Aiman feels it is a fair pitch for both batting and bowling.

“Yes, I think the wicket was supportive for both the batters and the bowlers. It's about the execution and who absorbs the pressure best,” she added.

“We had a match against South Africa there, we did well in the batting but we were unable to stop them in the power play.

“But then we made a strong comeback so we have high beliefs that if we play up to our potential, we can always perform well on any wicket.”
 
Pakistan v West Indies

West Indies have won the toss and are batting first
 
WIW 73/2 (12.3) CRR: 5.84
West Indies Women opt to bat

Pakistan women seem to have the rr under control at the moment.
 
Pakistan Women need 18 runs in 7 balls

Incredible this - how did they get to this stage?
 
Bismah Maroof needs to be dropped. I've hardly seen her play at more than 100 SR even in T20s let alone ODIs.

She isn't good enough to be in the team.

To be only 4 down and not able to chase 116 is pretty pathetic.
 
WIW 116/6 (20)
PAKW 113/5 (20) CRR: 5.65
West Indies Women won by 3 runs

How did they lose this game?
 
Bismah and Nida played too slowly, and the whole team missed out many twos when running between wicket. Dropping Ayesha was also brainless unless she was not fit.
 
Ayesha pulled her hamstring in tjr previous matches but wth were the openers doing??
 
There is no accountability in Pakistan Women's Cricket and new talent is never encouraged. The same players have been playing for Pakistan for ages and have been losing important games after important games.

These women have now been given a lot of funding, support, facilities by the PCB and they are still not producing results. Hopefully the women's PSL in September will help their cause.
 
You've got to question the fitness levels of some of the Pakistan Women international players at the moment.

They look so unfit and not up to the level of fitness to play at the highest level.
 
Jallaludin who has coached the women's team and players for a long time in the past commented that there is a lot of player power in women's cricket. The players are softies and if you aggressively tell them off then they go off rushing to the PCB and have accused male coaches oh inappropriate behaviour as a result. This definitely needs looking into. The PCB should appoint female assistant coaches as well
 
Lacking the mental fortitude in all formats and genres

a prerequisite to be a Pakistani cricketer
 
West Indies kept their slender semi-final hopes alive with a nail-biting three-run win over Pakistan that went down to the last ball.

Bidding to build on their win over Ireland, Windies opted to bat and posted a below-par 116-6 at Boland Park in Paarl.

Skipper Hayley Matthews took key Pakistan wickets early and late in the innings to inspire her side to a dramatic victory.

Matthews and Rashada Williams flayed 15 from the bowling of Aiman Anwer in the fourth over but navigated the powerplay in cagey fashion.

Matthews perished late in the powerplay when she tried to lift Fatima Sana over the midwicket boundary but only found the hands of Sidra Ameen.

It was a massive wicket that sparked wild celebrations but not a flurry of scalps as Shemaine Campbelle joined Williams and the pair put on 40 at a run-a-ball.

The second-wicket stand came to a tame end when Williams offered a simple return catch to the outstanding Sadia Iqbal to depart for 30.

Chinelle Henry muscled two boundaries but was trapped in front by Nida Dar for 11 and Campbelle went in the next over, smartly stumped by Muneeba Ali.

Nida Dar bowled Aaliyah Alleyne in the penultimate over, her 125th T20I wicket, making her the joint-leading wicket-taker in the history of the format.

Pakistan began cautiously in reply to 116-6 and it was Windies game-changer Matthews who got the breakthrough, dismissing the dangerous Muneeba Ali for five in the fourth over.

Matthews was at the heart of the action again two balls later when she took a sharp catch at midwicket to account for Sidra Ameen, with Pakistan 15 for two.

The experienced pairing of Bismah and Nida then embarked on a measured partnership that rarely got out of first gear until the latter whipped Henry to the midwicket fence in the 13th.

Nida looked to go aerial again in the next over but was deceived in the flight by Afy Fletcher and caught at extra cover by Karishma Ramharack, with 57 runs still required.

Pakistan have been by some distance the best finishers at this tournament and Aliya Riaz began to free her arms.

But she lost the stabilising influence of Bismah who was given out LBW on review after mistiming a reverse sweep off the bowling of Matthews.

Aliya and Fatima needed 18 from the final over and they took 13 from Shamilia Connell’s first four balls with some brilliant hitting, before Aliya chopped on to her own stumps to dramatically end Pakistan’s hopes.

West Indies 116 for 6 in 20 overs (Rashada Williams 30, Shemaine Campbelle 22; Nida Dar 2/13, Fatima Sana 1/10)

Player of the Match: Hayley Matthews (West Indies)
 
Saw the pak batting half,it's pretty obvious these girls suffer the same syndrome that their men counterparts have been suffering for decades in white ball formats. These outdated 90's mentality of blocking in pp & taking the chase deep is so rubbish & useless in this era. You may lack power or talent, but atleast you gotta have positive intent which is sorely missing in this unit. Also why did they drop Ayesha? She seems to be the only one capable of playing according to modern standard. Their fielding & overall fitness is also horrendous. So much similarity with the boys. Unfortunately they don't possess the only good thing the boys have(good bowling attack) so they are really in no shape to perform against the top teams. Couldn't defend a good total against Ind,couldn't chase a minimal total today.
 
Pakistani women’s team has consistently lost close games. Poor mentality. Which shows up in their batting approach as well.

If they are out of the World Cup early, they will only have themselves to blame.
 
Bismah has only once batted at a SR of just over a 100 in at least a decade of international cricket. On all other occasions she scores her runs at well below a 100. I remember at least a few occasions where she scored around 16 runs in 34 balls which hurts the team more.

The number of times Pakistan have lost to teams who they have defeated before due to mistakes such as 5 run outs in an innings, poor running between the wickets, dropped catches and extras etc is inexplicable.

South Africa, West Indies, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh in particular have won many games against Pakistan women by margins of 1-4 runs due to avoidable mistakes.

It sounds from some of the previous posts that such results will continue without accountability.
 
Pakistan women’s team captain Bismah Maroof will not be available to the side for today’s Group B match against England in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup. She sustained a niggle in groin during her 33-ball 26 against the West Indies on Sunday.

Vice-captain Nida Dar will lead the side in today’s game at the Newlands, which will begin at 1800 PKT.

The PCB medical panel has advised four to six weeks of rest to Ayesha Naseem, who pulled her hamstring in the match against Ireland on 15 February.

Dare I say...

What a start for Pakistan Women

ENGW 34/2 (4.3) CRR: 7.56

But as we have seen in the past, the ability to keep the foot on the pedal is the issue here
 
I almost expected it but England are expected to win the tournament so no real surprise.

ENGW 213/5 (20) CRR: 10.65
 
A shameful performance by the ladies. Still minnow level with little sign of improvement.
 
Needs a drastic overhaul this side.

You cannot be having these sorts of scorelines

ENGW 213/5 (20)
PAKW 49/6 (11.2) CRR: 4.32 REQ: 19.04
Pakistan Women need 165 runs in 52 balls
 
A crushing defeat against England for Pakistani Eves.

England and Australia are still the best sides in Women's cricket. They should be playing the finals too.
 
ENGW 213/5 (20)
PAKW 99/9 (20) CRR: 4.95
England Women won by 114 runs


This type of scoreline is so normal with Pakistan - not sure what it does to the players mentally!
 
Nat Sciver-Brunt’s 81 not out led England to a record score to defeat Pakistan by 114 runs and go unbeaten in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2023 group stages.

The England vice-captain shared a 100-run partnership with Amy Jones as England posted 213 for five, becoming the first team to pass 200 runs in Women’s T20 World Cups.

A late flurry from Tuba Hassan and Fatima Sana could not stop Pakistan from succumbing to the heaviest defeat in Women’s T20 World Cup history as their tournament ended with a loss.

Danni Wyatt had made just 27 runs in the tournament so far, but her drought came to an end in emphatic style as she led the bullish start to England’s innings.

The right-hander opened her account with a four and six off back-to-back balls in the first over and was unperturbed when Sophia Dunkley and Alice Capsey were dismissed for single figure scores.

Alongside Sciver-Brunt, Wyatt brought up England’s fifty with a four, and five overs later, she crashed another boundary to reach her half-century off just 29 balls.

The end to her innings came as she searched for her third six of the game as she marched down the track but did not connect cleanly and Sidra Ameen was able to pocket the catch on the boundary as Wyatt departed for 59 from 33.

Heather Knight lasted only six balls before she was dismissed by stand-in captain Nida Dar, who reached 126 T20 international wickets, the most by a woman, overtaking West Indies’s Anisa Mohammed.

Two quick wickets did not equal any let-up from England as Jones joined Sciver-Brunt in the middle, the latter bringing up her half-century off 29 balls for her second consecutive fifty in the tournament.

Jones enjoyed the history-making moment, her six over square leg bringing up England’s 200, with the pair’s one hundred partnership coming seven balls later off just 46 deliveries.

The wicket-keeper batter departed off the final ball of the innings for 47 from 31 balls and was straight back into the action as Pakistan began their chase of 214.

Jones took a catch behind the stumps as Katherine Sciver-Brunt dismissed Sadaf Sharmas for a two-ball duck.

An early introduction of spin brought wickets as Muneeba Ali could not back up her century against Ireland with a significant score, departing for three from 10 off the bowling of Charlie Dean.

Nat Sciver-Brunt had the same success with her bowling as she had done her batting, Omaima Sohail sending a catch to Freya Davies to leave Pakistan on 15 for three.

While England punished spin, Pakistan were punished by it, Sarah Glenn undoing Nida who departed for 11 before Dean dismissed Sidra an over later.

Katherine Sciver-Brunt bounced back from figures of zero for 39 against India to dismiss Aliya Riaz for five as she ended with two wickets for 14 runs from her four overs.

Having rebuilt from 54 for seven, Tuba took 11 runs off the penultimate over, before she was run out for 28 from 20 balls as she failed to track the ball.

Jones had the final say again as she stumped Nashra Sandhu off the final delivery to send England into Friday’s semi-final on a high.


England beat Pakistan at Newlands, Cape Town by 114 runs

England 213/5 in 20 overs (Nat Sciver-Brunt 81 not out; Danni Wyatt 59; Fatima Sana 2/44, Tuba Hassan 1/37)

Pakistan 99/9 in 20 overs (Tuba Hassan 28, Fatima Sana 16 not out; Katherine Sciver-Brunt 2/14, Charlie Dean 2/28)

Player of the Match: Nat Sciver-Brunt (England)
 
I don't want to be too harsh on them but their egos seems to be huge and their performance is terrible. Some of the players strut around the field as if they are world-beaters yet do nothing match after match.

Another embarrassing loss.
 
This is embarassing

Tuba Hassan strolling back to the crease and gets run out, thinking the ball had crossed the boundary. Zero awareness.

Another record for Pakistan women to be part of.

PCB needs to take Women's Cricket seriously. Find a way to increase the pool of players to 100-120 so that there is competition for spots. The women's PSL is desperately needed.
 
A bizarre scene unfolded in the Women's T20 World Cup 2023 clash between Pakistan and England when five penalty runs were awarded to the English team because of an error by Pakistani wicket-keeper Sidra Nawaz. Nawaz took off her gloves to collect the ball during the 15th over of England's batting but had no clue about what was to happen next. After Nawaz collected the ball from a fielder, she dropped it on the discarded glove that was lying right in front of her on the ground, prompting the umpires to slap a 5-run penalty to Pakistan.

The on-field umpires had a discussion for a small interval before deciding to award 5 runs to England. Here's the video:
