England Women name squads for Pakistan IT20 and ODI series

England Women have named their white-ball squads for the forthcoming Vitality IT20 and Metro Bank ODI series’ against Pakistan, which get underway on Saturday, 11 May.

Left-arm spinner Linsey Smith is again selected after returning to the senior squad for the IT20s in New Zealand while there’s a return for Freya Kemp to the IT20 group. All-rounder Kemp will be available as a batter during the series.

Heather Knight's side start with a three match IT20 series, beginning a week tomorrow at Edgbaston, where England played in front of nearly 20,000 fans in a Women's Ashes IT20 in July 2023. They then travel to The County Ground, Northampton before finishing at Headingley.

That series is followed immediately by three ODIs against the same opposition at Derby, Taunton and Chelmsford.

Head coach Jon Lewis said: “We are really excited to start our home summer. It’s great to be kicking off the summer of sport on home soil. Edgbaston is an incredible place to play cricket, the atmosphere is always special and it will be a huge occasion. I know the group are looking forward to playing in front of our fans in grounds across the country throughout the series.

“It’s great to see England’s men’s and women’s teams playing side by side again after the success of the Ashes last year.

“These two series’ against Pakistan give us an opportunity to build, develop and ensure we are in the best place come the World Cup in Bangladesh in September.

“We are very keen whenever possible to make sure all the players vying for places in the World Cup squad get opportunities to play cricket this summer so that they are able to put in performances that help secure a place in the squad for Bangladesh.”

brutal , Naseem aapa ko draft kar de zananiyo ki team mein - she can bowl quick but not catch :)
 
Gull Feroza showing more intent than our men's...12 runs in the first over!
 
Pak Women showing their opposite gender counterparts as to how to bat on the Power play...some start this!
 
Sadaf Shamas is playing with a strike rate of 210. Babar Azam should learn from this how to accelerate innings even after losing early wickets.
 
Shocked to see that none of the Pakistani batters acting as an anchor...losing wickets but still going for it...loving this!
 
What a disgraceful display by the captain, that was never a single in a million years, selling the settled batsmen down the river!
 
Lately I've come to a realisation that the women team is rubbish.
 
The women’s team has vastly improved over the years but are still low on the rankings of the top teams but they also start from a lower base then the mens so they’re punching above there weight
 
In the end a positive batting effort especially in the power play, (men take note) and a tail end flurry to push the score over 100

England vs Pakistan: Sarah Glenn takes four wickets to lead hosts to a 53-run victory

England managed to recover from 11-4 during their innings after Heather Knight and Amy Jones shared a 67-run partnership; watch England Women face Pakistan in the second T20I on Friday.

England leg-spinner Sarah Glenn took four wickets to lead her side to a 53-run victory over a wasteful Pakistan side and record their first T20I win in the three-match series at Edgbaston.

Pakistan raced to 57-2 as they looked to take on England's superb bowlers with Gull Feroza (17) and Sadaf Shamas (35) sharing a stand worth 27-runs, the highest of their innings, before the hosts pegged them back and bowled them out for 110-9.

Charlie Dean (1-29) trapped Sidra Ameen (nine) lbw in the third over before Lauren Bell struck to remove Feroza at the end of the powerplay but Pakistan's middle and lower order fell victim to England's terrific bowling, losing seven of their batters in single figures.

Earlier, England lost the toss and were inserted to bat and immediately looked at risk of a shock capitulation when they lost their first four wickets for only 11 runs with Maia Bouchier (four), Danni Wyatt (one), Alice Capsey (five) and Freya Kemp (0) all out in single figures.

Captain Heather Knight (49) and Amy Jones (37) weathered the storm sharing a fifth-wicket partnership worth 67-runs to help England post 163-6 and take the lead in the three-match T20I series

First time I saw the highlights of our women playing. Some observations

- Fitness of our females is very pathetic. It is no surprise they always falter in close games because a lot of batters get tired and lose strength. I see many Pakistani female fitness trainers who have better fitness and strengths than the players who are selected.

- The strength of our women is pathetic, they can't hit sixes and that hurts them against big teams like India, Australia, England. Ayesha Naseem was a big loss.

- Terrible talent. We don't really have many role models. We desperately need players like Smitri Mandhana who can inspire women to take up the sport. The PCB needs to go on a massive recruitment drive in schools, universities to encourage women to take up the sport.

- The teams support staff ie the likes of Taufeeq Umar, Mohtashim Rasheed, Saleem Jaffar have been arounds women's cricket forever. They can't keep sticking to their jobs when our female cricketers lose left right and center. There has to be some accountability at the end of the day.

Pakistani female cricketers are now very well paid by the PCB, they get maternity care and leave, business class travel, fitness trainers and the facilities they need to succeed. There should be zero excuses for these players not delivering, if the talent on display is not good enough, they need to be moved on.

Sadaf Shamas while addressing the post-match press conference, stated that the Pakistan team needs to play better cricket in middle-overs:

“We will practice more ahead of the upcoming matches, and will try to play well in the middle overs.”

“We got off to a good start and the fielding was good but we let the momentum shift in the end.”

“We tried to execute our bowling plan but England’s batters batted exceptionally well.”

England Women beat Pakistan Women by 65 runs in the second T20I at Northampton to take the unassailable 2-0 lead.

Pakistan restricted England to 144-6 as skipper Nida Dar led from front taking two wickets and also becoming the leading wicket-taker (137) in Women’s T20Is. In return, Pakistan could only manage 79 all out in 15.5 overs as English spinners Sophie Ecclestone (3-11), Alice Capsey (2-4) and Sarah Glenn (2-10) shared seven wickets among each other.

Pakistan found themselves in trouble early in pursuit of the 145-run target after Lauren Bell removed Gell Feroza (3, 7b) and Sadaf Shamas (0, 4b) cheaply. Muneeba Ali raced to 18 off 12 before falling to Ecclestone as Pakistan finished the powerplay with 41-3.

Leg spinner Glenn pinned Nida leg before in the seventh over to leave Pakistan reeling. Aliya Riaz injected some aggression into the innings as she hit three boundaries in a space of six balls racing to 16 off 10. Sidra (11, 16b, 2x4s) was run out after a mix-up with Aliya in the middle to disrupt the 19-run partnership. At the halfway mark, Pakistan stood 66-5 but only managed 13 more runs before getting bundled out for 79 in 15. 5 overs.

Earlier, after England opted to bat first, Waheeda Akhtar castled Danni Wyatt in the third over. Capsey unleashed a flurry of boundaries in the fifth over against Waheeda ransacking 20 runs. England finished the powerplay with 48-1. The duo of Maia Bouchier and Capsey stitched a 49-run second-wicket stand after Bouchier was run out courtesy of a brilliant throw from Diana Baig.

Nida struck to get Capsey (31, 33b, 5x4s) stumped in the 12th over. Nat Sciver-Brunt provided the much-needed impetus to England’s innings as she raced to 31 off 20 hitting six boundaries before falling to Sadia Iqbal. Heather Knight struggled during her eight-ball stay in the middle as she holed out to Waheeda at long-off.

Nida, bowling the last over, dismissed Amy Jones (15, 14b, 1x4) to bag the milestone wicket. Danielle Gibson (18 not out, 9b, 2x4s, 1x6) belted a six and a four off the last two balls to help England reach 144-6 in 20 overs. Apart from Nida’s two scalps, Waheeda, Sadia and Diana bagged one each.

Scores in brief:

England Women beat Pakistan Women by 65 runs

England Women 144-6, 20 overs (Nat Sciver-Brunt 31, Alice Capsey 31, Maia Bouchier 30; Nida Dar 2-33)

Pakistan Women 79 all out, 15.5 overs (Aliya Riaz 19, Muneeba Ali 18; Sophie Ecclestone 3-11, Alice Capsey 2-4, Sarah Glenn 2-10 Lauren Bell 2-20)

Player of the match – Alice Capsey (England Women)

I've said it for many years now that the women have a lack of intent and strength that the other teams possess.

Other teams are way ahead of them and even teams like Bangladesh and a few others seem to be slowly getting ahead of them.

Be that in Odi or T20 cricket their SR's are way below that of the teams way ahead of them and seem like it'll carry on the same for the foreseeable future.

Strike rate is a problem for Pakistan in whole men or women. As a nation, we don't fully grasp its importance, nor do we understand concepts like the powerplay. We tend to treat T20 matches simply as a shorter version of ODIs.
