KARACHI: Pakistan Women’s openers, Gull Feroza and Sadaf Shamas, turned the 3rd ODI chase into a one-sided affair, dismantling Zimbabwe's bowling attack to reach 101/0 in 13 overs at the National Stadium.The initial powerplay was a display of pure dominance.
Pakistan finished the first 10 overs at a blistering 81/0, effectively killing the contest before the fielding restrictions even eased. Gull Feroza was particularly devastating, punishing any width offered by the Zimbabwean seamers, while Sadaf Shamas utilized the gaps in the circle to keep the required rate plummeting.
The acceleration did not stop there. In a remarkable three-over burst following the powerplay, the duo added another 19 runs, reaching the 100-run mark in the 13th over. Zimbabwe's captain, Nomvelo Sibanda, struggled to find answers as her bowlers failed to find a consistent length, allowing the Pakistani openers to score at a run rate exceeding 8.00 during this period.
