That's all from the 1st T20I encounter between England Women and Pakistan Women.
For now, this is Pritam Dey signing off on behalf of co-commentators Ayan Chatterjee and Saptak Sanyal who, along with scorer/analysts Bishal Mandal brought all the actions of this clash. Stay tuned for more cricketing action from around the world.
After lost
the toss and put into bat, England did not start off their Innings in a good
note. They were down to 11/4 inside the 3rd over and were in a spot
of bother. Since then, the Captain Heather Knight along with Amy Jones built up
a partnership of 67 runs partnership to steady the ship for the home side.
Heather Knight got out at 49 against the run off play and it was a great
opportunity for Pakistan to fightback into the game. Post the wicket of the
England Captain, Pakistan bowled really poor and leaked a lot of unnecessary
runs in the fag end of the 1st Innings as England recovered
brilliantly all thanks to the brilliant Innings from Danielle Gibson (41* off
21 balls) to finish off the Innings for England as they ended up at 163/6 in
their 20 overs. Waheeda Akhtar (2/20) and Sadia Iqbal (2/30) were the pick of
the bowlers for Pakistan. Pakistan Women had to chase down 164 runs to win the
1st T20I against England Women.
In reply, Pakistan
got off to a flying start in the powerplay as they got 57 off their 6 overs losing
their two openers. 107 runs were needed off 84 balls with 8 wickets in hand and
all Pakistan needed were a decent partnership to keep themselves going in the
chase. Then came the massive collapse of Pakistan once again as from 66/2 they have been bundled out for 110. Some top class fielding
effort from England, led by their Wicket Keeper, Amy Jones who was involved in 4
dismissals in the Innings. Sarah Glenn (4/12) and Lauren Bell (3/22) were the
pick of the bowlers for England.
Pakistan have themselves to blame and they havenβt learnt from their previous series loss at home against West Indies. They have lost the 1st T20I against England Women here by 5 runs and trail the 3 match series by 1-0.
