Our players are not ready for high profile matches like the. PCB should invest on domestic matches instead of these useless international matches.
 
Another loss! Really needs for PCB to have a good hard look at this and then do what they have done for Pak men's cricket.

Unfortunately the interest in Women's cricket is passing to put it mildly.

Which kind of explains the state of Pak Women's cricket.

It appears that just sending a team in a fancy kit with fanfare is considered job done.
 
The New Zealand WHITE FERNS will bowl first in the third One-Day International at Bert Sutcliffe Oval, Lincoln after Pakistan captain Sana Mir won the toss and elected to bat.

Today’s match is the first IWC [ICC Women’s Championship] points game of the ODI Series as the WHITE FERNS look to cement qualification for next year’s ICC Women’s World Cup.
Conditions are cool and overcast, play expected to start on time at 11am.

There are three changes to the WHITE FERNS side that beat Pakistan on the same pitch on Friday, Morna Nielsen, Sam Curtis and Lea Tahuhu returning for Amelia Kerr, Katie Perkins (12th) and Holly Huddleston.

Leading off-spinner Nielsen plays her 50th ODI for New Zealand today.

No point in having an international team if you lose almost every match you play.
 
They need a good batting/bowling consultant to have a good mindset in LOIs.

Think Shahid Afridi can do wonders.

BACK-TO-BACK SATTERTHWAITE CENTURIES AS WHITE FERNS TAKE UNBEATABLE SERIES LEAD

A resurgent Pakistan reached its third-highest total in One-Day International cricket courtesy of a Pakistan record third-wicket stand of 117 between Javeria Khan and Bismah Maroof in the third ODI today — but it wasn’t enough to stop the New Zealand WHITE FERNS charging to a 3-0 Series lead after Amy Satterthwaite’s second ODI century in as many matches secured an eight-wicket win, two more crucial IWC points and an unbeatable 3-0 Series lead at Bert Sutcliffe Oval.

Grabbing the chance to bat first after captain Sana Mir won the toss, Pakistan Women’s 263/6 was also their highest total in eight ODIs against the WHITE FERNS — who suffered from an off-day with the ball and in the field in their biggest challenge yet of the Series, against an opponent who had never defeated them.

Opener Ayesha Zafar attacked from the outset in the first of the IWC points games, peeling twin boundaries from Hannah Rowe’s first over and another pair from the young pace bowler’s second. It got the visitors off to a flier as they chalked up an unbroken 50-stand inside 10 overs, and the spinners, too, would suffer on a crisp early afternoon.

Thamsyn Newton’s entry in the 12th produced a much-needed breakthrough, Amy Satterthwaite pocketing a superb running catch in the deep to stop Zafar’s assault on 30. When fellow opener Nahida Khan fell in the first of two runouts in the innings, the WHITE FERNS had pegged it back to 83 for two in the 19th. However, another 21 overs would tick by before they would celebrate again, the experienced duo of first drop Javeria Khan (73 off 91) and Bismah Maroof combining for their best third-wicket stand.

Composed Maroof built her innings sweetly, lifting her strike rate in the last 15 overs and surviving a big shout against Thamsyn Newton on 74* — as her team-mates built up their hopes that she might finally achieve an elusive One-Day International century to go with her 11 half-centuries. But, by the end of the 50th over, the Pakistani number four would be left unbeaten on 91 (off 98 balls, including seven boundaries) — and now has the bittersweet record of more scores in the nineties than any other woman in ODI cricket, including a 99 v South Africa in 2015 and 92 v Bangladesh.

While the Pakistani Women could take tremendous encouragement from their controlled performance with the bat, a required run rate of 5.28 would prove insufficient to daunt an in-form WHITE FERNS top order as the sun emerged.

Captain Suzie Bates (74 off 88) led the way early, dominating a 60-run stand for the first wicket with Rachel Priest, before going on to a 102-run partnership with Satterthwaite for the second.

First drop Satterthwaite and Katey Martin — who raced to her fourth ODI half century in five matches with a 45-ball effort — then poured on an unbroken 105 off 85 balls for the third wicket, Satterthwaite (115 not out off 101 balls) polishing off the winning runs in the 43rd over with consecutive boundaries off Asmavia Iqbal and collecting her second Player of the Match award on the trot.

The WHITE FERNS lead the five-match Series 3-0 and the IWC points games 1-0. Both teams now head to Nelson’s Saxton Oval for the fourth ODI on Thursday 17 November.

The New Zealand WHITE FERNS will bowl first in the key fourth One-Day International at Saxton Oval, Nelson after captain Suzie Bates won the toss and asked Pakistan to bat.

The WHITE FERNS have donned black armbands today to pay their respects to the victims of 7.8 Earthquake in New Zealand and to the grandmother of Katey Martin, who has also sadly passed away. The WHITE FERNS wish to extend their condolences and support to all those affected by the ongoing events following the earthquake. Pakistan Women will also don arm bands in support.

Today’s match is the second of three IWC [ICC Women’s Championship] points games within the ODI Series as the WHITE FERNS look to cement qualification for next year’s ICC Women’s World Cup.

Conditions are presently sunny and warm in Nelson, play expected to start on time at 11am.

I see what you did there.

There are two things certain about Afridi : never retiring and his opinion on gender equality.

It’s mission accomplished for the New Zealand WHITE FERNS, dominating Pakistan with both bat and ball today in Nelson to ease their path to the 2017 ICC Women’s World Cup.

The WHITE FERNS collected two IWC points from the seven-wicket win at Saxton Oval to lift themselves into third on the World Cup qualification table — a top four placing securing direct entry, rather than a trip to the Qualifying Tournament.

Captain Suzie Bates had inserted Pakistan on a warm, sunny Nelson morning, taking advantage of a new pitch freshened by the rain of the preceding days. It proved a difficult adjustment for Pakistan, who eventually fell away after a promising start to their innings.

Twenty-two-year-old Ayesha Zafar shared a steady 46-run stand for the first wicket and would carry on to anchor the innings with her maiden ODI fifty (including seven boundaries) after Holly Huddleston broke through with the first of four wickets for the day, Nahida Khan offering up a catch to Sophie Devine at midwicket.

A clean-striking Zafar weathered aggression from the attack early on as an economical Lea Tahuhu put the heat on at the top, backed up superbly by second change Huddleston who would go on to bag 4-20 off just 7.1 overs.

By the midway mark Zafar and Javeria Khan had put the Pakistan hundred on the board, along with a 50 stand for the second wicket — and there was a sniff of building on the platform to once again ensure their side posted a competitive total.

But once spinner Amy Satterthwaite (2-34) plucked a return catch from Zafar to stop her in the 28th over, the scenario changed dramatically. Satterthwaite put herself on a hat-trick next ball by dismissing the dangerous Bismah Maroof for a golden duck, and while Javeria Khan managed to avoid becoming a hat-trick victim, the double strike invited Tahuhu (2-29) and Huddleston to turn the heat back on, wickets quickly clattering.

Tahuhu struck twice in the space of four balls in the 31st over, bowling Javeria on 30 before Iram Javed offered the first of a flurry of edges through to keeper Rachel Priest. From 107/1 Pakistan had lurched to 118/5 with two new batsmen at the crease, and despite captain Sana Mir’s rallying 31 off 58 she couldn’t prevent the WHITE FERNS wrapping up the innings with 11 balls in hand.

A target of 159 quickly diminished as Bates went on an early boundary spree, blasting five in a row from Sadia Yousuf’s first over. Bates would fly to her half century off just 40 balls, just a further 27 runs required for victory by the time she became pace bowler Iram Javed’s third wicket in One-Day International cricket, caught on 66.

Sophie Devine (54 off 53 balls) had meanwhile jumped up the order to first drop, reaching the boundary six times and punching the first six of the match to be on the cusp of her own quick fifty — which she duly reached off just 49 balls.

The match had been preceded by a minute’s silence in memory of both the 7.8 Earthquake victims as well as WHITE FERN Katey Martin’s grandmother who has passed away, both teams paying their respects with black armbands in this match.

Said Suzie Bates, “We wanted to pay our respects after a challenging and tragic week for New Zealand. It’s been a tough week for some of the players who are based in Christchurch too, along with everyone else, and we wanted to go out and play some cricket to take our minds off that and honour those people who are really struggling at the moment."

The WHITE FERNS now lead the five-match Series 4-0, and the IWC points games 2-0. The win also means Suzie Bates has now equalled Emily Drumm’s overall New Zealand record for the most wins in WHITE FERNS history with 28.

There is an opportunity to claim that record outright in the final ODI, at Saxton Oval this Saturday, followed by a Twenty20 International on Monday afternoon at the same venue.
 
WHITE FERNS complete ODI series sweep

A 5-0 series sweep and yet another Amy Satterthwaite century has put the icing on the cake for the New Zealand WHITE FERNS after they comfortably chased down Pakistan’s 220 in the fifth ODI at Saxton Oval, Nelson today.

With the Series and World Cup qualification already in the bag, the match was an opportunity to continue detailed planning for the 2017 ICC Women’s World Cup, Satterthwaite maintaining her perfect record as an ODI captain after being asked to lead the team for just the second time in a One-Day International, having previously helmed the side to a victory against Ireland in Hove back in 2010.

Satterthwaite would also open the chase, alongside Sam Curtis, as regular opening combo Suzie Bates and Rachel Priest ran the drinks on a warm Nelson afternoon — Katey Martin taking a turn with the wicketkeeping gloves and Satterthwaite, the unparalleled batting star of the Series, delivering yet another century to become the first from any country in women’s ODI history to score three centuries in one Series.

Pakistan captain Sana Mir had earlier won the toss and asked the WHITE FERNS to bowl in the humid conditions, a decision that ultimately benefited the two youngest members of the New Zealand attack.

Pakistan again started encouragingly with the bat, 66 without loss at the 15-over mark as positive young Ayesha Zafar and Nahida Khan denied their hosts an early breakthrough. They would pile on 84 for the first wicket — equalling the Pakistan ODI record against all countries.

In just her sixth outing, stylish Zafar was the more aggressive, and it paid off as she reached an assured second half-century in as many matches — unrattled even by a short-pitched statement of displeasure from Sophie Devine.

Sixteen-year-old Kiwi leg-spinner Amelia Kerr continued to show composure and variations beyond her years, however, and would deliver the sought-after wicket, trapping the right-handed opener on 50 to have Pakistan 101 for two in the 24th over, after Satterthwaite had broken through five overs earlier to remove Nahida Khan, caught on 31.

Thamsyn Newton had gone into the match with an ODI career-best of 1-10, and emerged with her maiden ODI five-wicket bag — dislodging Javeria Khan in the 39th over immediately after the Pakistani first drop had posted her own half century, then claiming Bismah Maroof on 22.

They were important strikes, the experienced Pakistani pair having looked good to continue their side’s early momentum before their dismissals led to the familiar story of the later order quickly falling away.

Both blades had sent catches to Kerr, who would go on to collect three grabs in all — in addition to her own new career best bowling performance of 4-42, wrapping up the Pakistan innings on 220 with three balls to spare.

The confident performance from the two newest members of the New Zealand side can only have given Suzie Bates and coach Haidee Tiffen cheer as they sat back and watched the action from the sidelines.

Satterthwaite, Player of the Series, would reach her half-century in just the eighth over, posting it with her 11th boundary. The dismissal of Curtis soon after ushered Devine to the crease at first drop to punch the first six of the innings off Pakistan captain Sana Mir, but Devine’s knock would prove a short one on this occasion, then Liz Perry was trapped in the 20th over by Nida Dar just as the run chase had dropped to fewer than 100.

But by then, the ever-composed Satterthwaite was already on 78*, well on her way to rewriting the record books.

She would reach her century off just 83 balls, including 15 boundaries before eventually being caught fending on 123. Following earlier scores of 18, 137* and 115* in the Series, Satterthwaite has scored 393 runs from her four innings and topped the averages with 196.50 — it was also her third century in as many innings, having not been required to bat in the fourth ODI on Thursday.

The WHITE FERNS chased down the runs with 11.3 overs to spare, Thamsyn Newton smashing a boundary to cement the victory and the series sweep.

The tour has one more match remaining, the teams to meet in a sole Twenty20 International at Saxton Oval at 3pm on Monday afternoon.
 
Amy sheterweight: First ever women batter to make 3 consecutive ODI centuries.

She made 123 runs from 99 ball on the way of third straight century against Pak women. The other two centuries was also against the same team in this series. This is the record of women's ODI. Congrats to this 30 years NZ all rounder.
 
After the NZ Tour, the Pakistan women's cricket team will be traveling to Bangkok, Thailand to compete in the Women's Asia Cup against India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Nepal and Thailand.

Hopefully the slow and low pitches in Bangkok suit the Pakistani side more than the pitches they played on in NZ. If the Pakistani women do well, they could face India in the final of the tournament on 4th December.

I will be at hand to watch each match during the tournament and will keep updating as the tourney progresses.

White Ferns beat Pakistan in Twenty20

http://www.radiosport.co.nz/sport-news/cricket/white-ferns-beat-pakistan-in-twenty20/

New Zealand have beaten Pakistan by 14-runs in their women's Twenty20 international to complete a dominant home summer against the tourists.

Pakistan were dismissed off the final ball for 104 in pursuit of the White Ferns' 118-9 after the home side chose to bat first at Saxton Oval in Nelson.

Following a 5-0 loss in the one-day international series, Pakistan were hoping for better in the shortest form but they struggled against some tight bowling.

Aliya Riaz, batting at No.10, gave the tourists a late glimmer of hope with an unbeaten 28 off 22 balls.

Seamers Lea Tahuhu (3-17) and Thamsyn Newton (2-25) helped reduce Pakistan to 34-5 before Amelia Kerr claimed 3-16 with her legspin.

Kerr, 16, became New Zealand's youngest T20 international player on debut.

Earlier, New Zealand also made a poor start, limping to 45-5 before a lively 26 from Liz Perry set up a competitive total. Nobody else reached 20.

New Zealand have won all three T20s against Pakistan, including two at World Cup level.

The White Ferns' next series is a trio of T20s against Australia across the Tasman in February.

Meanwhile, the match on Monday made history by featuring three women officials, the first international match to do so.

Diana Venter and Kathy Cross were the on-field umpires while Kim Cotton carried out third umpire duties.
 
White Ferns end series unbeaten, Satterthwaite named player of the series

the new zealand white ferns’ unbeaten history against pakistan in both one-day internationals and twenty20 internationals is intact after they dug themselves out of trouble to claim the 2016 tour finale t20 by 14 runs.

It took a determined fightback from the middle and lower order with the bat, sharp bowling, and the best fielding performance of the entire contest to do it, but the result was a clean record — and bonus snippets of heart-warming history in the nelson sunshine.

Conditions were warm and windy as suzie bates won the toss and batted in the first ever bilateral twenty20 between the two countries, but a horror start soon saw her side needing to fight hard together to post a competitive total.

Pakistan’s attack struggled at times with the unfamiliar stiff breeze, iram javed opening proceedings with three wides before bates was caught for a diamond duck off the first legitimate ball of the match.

When fellow opener rachel priest played on early in the next over, the white ferns had lost two of their power hitters with just eight runs on the board.

Sophie devine, at three, and player of the series amy satterthwaite looked to have a recovery underway as they started trading boundaries, but a devastating entrance by captain sana mir in the fifth over would silence their 28-run-partnership. Mir claimed first one, then the other with her fourth and fifth ball to put herself on a hat-trick, the white ferns under pressure at 36/4 after just five overs.

Katey martin (19 off 21) lost thamsyn newton to a runout two overs later, but would form a pivotal stand of 26 runs with liz perry — the positive pair showing their experience as they kept calm and looked to keep the scoreboard moving.

Perry, the first to push past 20, would go on to top-score with just 26 off 21 balls, while katie perkins (17 off 25) and lea tahuhu (a run-a-ball 16) added a 27-run stand for the 10th wicket — enough late support to give their attack something to defend, at least, finishing the 20 overs on 119/9.

Pakistan had their best chance yet to claim a win off their hosts, meanwhile, requiring a tad a under a run a ball in the chase. Their hopes were rocked back early when pace bowler lea tahuhu came out steaming, javeria khan surprised, and safely caught by perry, off player of the match tahuhu’s very first delivery.

Figures of 0-1 grew to 3-12 for the attack weapon as she went on to strike in each of her first three overs, the removal of ayesha zafar generating the most excitement after the pakistani dangerwoman had galloped ahead at run-a-ball pace as wickets fell around her — the low target still beckoning.

Bismah maroof had meanwhile fallen to a ‘three-lay’ runout in just the third over, and the fielding went up a notch when it mattered most. Later, captain bates had just exhorted her team to that effect when she herself dove to snaffle an outstanding low grab that removed iram javed on 16, just as pakistan were starting to regain some momentum and run at nines.

Thamsyn newton was the benefactor on that occasion and would finish with 2-25 — taking a wicket with the final ball of the match on an all-action afternoon.

The heart-warming bit came in between. After having made her odi debut earlier in the tour, now 16-year-old leg-spinner amelia kerr was on twenty20 international debut — as new zealand’s youngest player in this form of the game. It took her just four balls to claim a maiden t20 wicket, pushing pakistan to 55/7 in the process. By the time kerr had finished with them, they were against the wall at 90 for nine.

Her first victim was a slog-sweeping sidra nawaz, courtesy of another slick catch from satterthwaite. She then added asmavia iqbal lbw in her next over and finished off her debut t20 spell with a tidy 3-16 — by bowling the captain with her last ball.

“i’ve just loved the tour,” said kerr afterwards. “it’s been a really cool experience. I didn’t get nervous at all this whole tour. Just excited to get out on the field and get another win. Their top five batters were quite handy, but we kept up the pressure with the dots.”

number 10 aliya riaz’s gallant unbeaten 28 off 22 balls would be all in vain, but it epitomised the attitude and spirit of a pakistani team that had shown themselves determined to stand up and be counted.

The match was also umpire diana venter’s t20 international debut, and notable as the first occasion on which all three umpires — kathy cross and third umpire kim cotton — had been women.

The white ferns will regroup in february to play a t20 away series v australia followed by three one-day internationals in new zealand.
