Saved by rain!
Match called off due to rain, both teams share two points each
Bready, 23 July 2022: The Women’s tri-series involving Pakistan, Australia and hosts Ireland had another washout when the fifth match of the tournament between Australia Women and Pakistan Women was abandoned due to rain at the Bready Cricket Club on Saturday. This result keeps Pakistan unbeaten in the tournament.
This was the second time in the tri-series – both times the same teams were in action when the rain had interrupted the game. Earlier, the opening match of the tournament on 16 July was abandoned due to rain with both sides sharing two points each.
Chasing 95 to win, Australia got off to a brisk start and were 28 for no loss in 4.2 overs when play was stopped due to rain. Had the play went on for four more balls and five overs of play taken place, the result would have been determined on DLS.
Australia are top of the table with 12 points from four matches in the tournament. Pakistan are on the second spot with eight points, winning one match from three outings. Ireland occupy the last position with no points from three matches.
Earlier, after winning the toss for the third time in as many games, Bismah Maroof opted to bat first. The opening batters Iram Javed and Muneeba Ali provided a 21-run partnership for the first wicket as Iram (nine off 14) became the first batter to make her way back to the pavilion.
Iram’s partner Muneeba fell for 19 off 23 balls, striking two fours as the scorecard read 38 for three in the ninth over. In between Omaima Sohail was the second wicket to fall with 30 runs on the board at the end of the sixth over.
The only notable partnership for Pakistan was between captain Bismah and Aliya Riaz. The pair stitched 30 runs for the fifth wicket. The right-handed Aliya was unfortunately run-out for 14. She faced 17 balls and struck one four. Bismah top-scored and returned undefeated on 32 off 39 balls, hitting one four.
For Australia, Jess Jonassen was the most successful bowler with match figures of 4-0-17-4. Nicola Carey bagged two wickets for 16 from her four overs.
Pakistan will now take on Ireland tomorrow at the same venue.
Scores in brief:
Match called off due to rain
Pakistan Women 94-8, 20 overs (Bismah Maroof 32 not out; Jess Jonassen 4-17, Nicola Carey 2-16)
Australia Women 28-0, 4.2 overs
What's the purpose of this series exactly?
I don't see any final match schedule is there a trophy for topping the points table?
Have said this even before for years that the women's team has no strength to even clear the inner circle.
The players lack strength and straight up aren't international quality. People wanting to boot out Hemp need to understand that no matter who comes this wouldn't change the players.
Look at how the Indian women are built tall and stronger and literally bat at 150 SR where as our girls are barely at 100 or under most of the times.

Time to say Bye to Coach Hemp
Its not working out
There have been no improvements and nothing is likely to change.
The only story about the Pak women team is about the baby girl - performances are no where to be found.
Agree with Saj here

No offence but this is a really poor take. Pakistan's Women's team is very much in its developmental stage. For context, Pakistan's men's team during its developmental stage won 2 out of 35 tests between 1960 and 1972.
Change does not happen overnight. It was only 3 years ago that PCB even started investing in women's cricket. And the same yardstick that is applied to the men's team cannot be applied to the women's team because both have not had the same access to opportunities historically.
Pakistan's women's cricket has alot of potential but it can't move forward if people have such a negative attitude towards it...that doesn't at all take into account the disparity of investment, opportunities, public spaces, wages, access to top-notch facilities that women from England, New Zealand, Australia, India have but our women don't.
It's easy to sit back and judge the team interms of wins and losses. But I don't think its that simple.
Pakistan's women's team is not a good team by any stretch of the imagination, but they need our support instead of negative takes like these that serve no real purpose besides perhaps demotivating the players further.
Playing for Pakistan should be a privilege and to earn that, you need to be good and willing to improve yourself.
There is something wrong in the way we are picking players or we simply do not have the talent.
In which case, PCB needs to do more to develop that talent; If it means sending these players to Australia for a year to train or think of some other way.
We cannot keep on competing without results like this and keep on hoping.
With the ambition of creating a strong talent pool at the domestic level and further strengthen its pathways programme, the Pakistan Cricket Board will hold the first of its kind U19 T20 tournament from tomorrow (Saturday).
The U19 T20 Women Cricket Tournament 2022 will be competed by six Cricket Association teams, comprising 84 players, from 13 to 22 August at the Lahore Country Club, Muridke.
The 10-day tournament will be conducted on round-robin basis, meaning each team will play at least five matches. The league stage will be followed by semi-finals and final on 20 August and 22 August.
The U19 T20 Women Cricket Tournament 2022 serves a perfect opportunity for the players to stake a claim in the national U19 side ahead of the maiden ICC U19 Women’s T20 World Cup in South Africa next year and the top performers are also guaranteed places in the senior sides, which will come into action when the senior women domestic season commences from November.
To further incentivise the players to bring out their best performances, the PCB has also introduced financial awards to encourage the players to bring out their best. The winning team will receive PKR400,000 along with the silverware and the runner-up will get PKR200,000.
The player of the tournament will be awarded PKR20,000 and each player of the match will receive PKR10,000. The tournament’s top performers – best player, best batter, best bowler and best wicketkeeper – will be gifted kit bags to encourage them to enhance their skills and pursue their cricketing ambitions.
The PCB has also finalised the six squads, which consist of 14 players each. These squads have been nailed down after country-wide open trials and subsequent practice games amongst the selected players across the PCB-run women regional academies.
Fifteen players have been placed in reserve pool and they can be called up based on a team’s requirement. Only players born on or after 1 September 2003 are eligible to play in the tournament.

The Pakistan Cricket Board today confirmed David Hemp is not seeking an extension to his two-year contract, which expires in October.
David Hemp: “I have enjoyed living in Pakistan and working with the women cricketers, but it has also been difficult on me and my young family as I have been unable to spend enough time with them like any other father. After consulting my family, I have conveyed this difficult decision to the Pakistan Cricket Board, which has very graciously understood my situation and accepted my decision.
“It has been incredibly enjoyable and satisfying working with the girls. Although results in international arena may not truly reflect the hard work and effort that went into the planning and preparations, I am satisfied that I gave my very best and the girls equally responded.
“I was especially pleased with the emergence of Fatima Sana, who won the ICC Emerging Cricketer of the Year 2021 award and became the first Pakistan women cricketer to win the ICC Cricketer of the Month award and displayed her excellent talent in the recently-concluded Commonwealth Games. I am optimistic we will see many more young women cricketers from domestic competitions and talent hunt programmes to enter the Pakistan framework and contribute in the teams’ future achievements.
“I want to thank everyone at the Pakistan Cricket Board, women’s wing and the entire side who not only backed and supported me but also made my stay memorable and comfortable. I will remain a big fan of Pakistan women’s cricket, will continue to follow their progress with excitement and remain confident that better results and successes await them down the road.”
Tania Mallick, PCB Head of Women’s Wing: “It is sad to lose someone of David’s caliber, enthusiasm and strong work ethics, but at the same we also understand and accept that family has to come first. The PCB thanks David for all his efforts and contributions, and wishes him best of luck in his future endeavours.”
The replacement of David Hemp will be announced in due course.
