After winning the toss and choosing to bat first, the hosts attacked aggressively from the opening over and reached 69/3 at the end of the mandatory six-over powerplay.</p>

<p>The innings was powered by Gull Feroza, who played a fearless knock at the top of the order. The right-hander smashed 37 runs from just 19 deliveries, striking eight boundaries at an impressive strike rate of nearly 195.

<p>Zimbabwe Women managed another important breakthrough when Precious Marange removed <a href="https://www.tapmad.com/blog/pak-women-beat-zim-women-feroza-and-shamas-lead-3-0-series-sweep/5705-5-0">Gull Feroza</a> in the fifth over.

Pakistan and Zimbabwe captains unveiled the trophy for the upcoming three-match women’s T20I series in Karachi as both teams prepare for the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026.

Pakistan and Zimbabwe Reveal Trophy for Women’s T20I Series in Karachi

<p>KARACHI: Pakistan completed a dominant 3-0 series whitewash against Zimbabwe Women at the National Stadium in Karachi. The hosts secured a clinical nine-wicket victory in the third and final ODI, chasing down a target of 223 in just 31.5 overs.</p>

<h2>Clinical Chase and Record-Breaking Opening Stand</h2>

<p>Pakistan&rsquo;s pursuit was defined by a masterclass opening partnership between Gull Feroza and Sadaf Shamas. Feroza followed up her earlier series success with a brilliant unbeaten 106 off 92 balls, showcasing her aggressive intent with 16 boundaries. Her counterpart, Sadaf Shamas, narrowly missed out on a second century of the series, falling for 90 off 98 balls.The pair shared a 220-run opening stand, effectively batting Zimbabwe out of the contest within the first 30 overs.&nbsp;</p>

<p>During this innings, Sadaf Shamas became the first Pakistani woman to score five consecutive ODI half-centuries, cementing her role as a linchpin of the top order. Following Shamas&rsquo;s dismissal, captain Muneeba Ali stepped in to finish the game with a boundary, remaining unbeaten on 4.</p>

<h2>Zimbabwe&rsquo;s Resistance and Middle-Order Struggles</h2>

<p>Earlier in the day, Zimbabwe <a href="https://www.tapmad.com/blog/pak-women-vs-zim-women-3rd-odi-live-zimbabwe-opts-to-bat/5696-5-0">won the toss</a> and opted to bat first on a pitch that offered more bounce than previous surfaces. <a href="https://www.tapmad.com/blog/pak-women-vs-zim-women-3rd-odi-live-zimbabwe-score-2229/5701-5-0">Zim Women</a> posted 222/9, their highest total of the series. The innings was anchored by Beloved Biza, who struck a composed 73 off 88 deliveries. Biza shared a crucial 50-run partnership with <a href="https://www.tapmad.com/blog/pak-women-vs-zim-women-live-zim-fight-back-after-early-loss/5697-5-0">Kelis Ndhlovu</a> (50), which briefly looked to challenge the Pakistani bowling attack.</p>

<p>However, Zimbabwe&rsquo;s momentum stalled as they lost wickets at regular intervals during the middle overs. Captain Nomvelo Sibanda added a valuable unbeaten 35 late in the innings to push the score past 200, but it ultimately proved insufficient against a rampant Pakistan batting lineup.</p>

<h2>Bowling Prowess</h2>

<p>The Pakistani bowlers maintained their disciplined form throughout the series. Tasmia Rubab was the pick of the bowlers, returning figures of 3/49 from her 10 overs. She provided the early breakthrough and returned to polish off the tail. Ayesha Zafar was equally impressive and highly economical, claiming 2/13 in her six-over spell. Syeda Aroob Shah also chipped in with two vital wickets for 36 runs.</p>

<h2>Series Takeaways</h2>

<p>The series sweep highlights the significant gulf in quality between the two sides,&nbsp;</p>

Pak Women beat Zim Women: Feroza & Shamas Lead 3-0 Series Sweep

<p>KARACHI: Pakistan Women&rsquo;s openers, Gull Feroza and Sadaf Shamas, turned the 3rd ODI chase into a one-sided affair, dismantling Zimbabwe&#39;s bowling attack to reach 101/0 in 13 overs at the National Stadium.The initial powerplay was a display of pure dominance.&nbsp;</p>

<p>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.</p>

<p>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&#39;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.</p>

Pak Women vs Zim Women Live: Feroza and Shamas Crush Zimbabwe After 10

<p>KARACHI: A gritty maiden half-century from teenage sensation Beloved Biza anchored Zimbabwe Women to a competitive 222 for 9, their highest total of the tour, as they looked to salvage pride in the third and final ODI against Pakistan at the National Stadium.</p>

<p>Having already conceded the series after two heavy defeats, Zimbabwe showed far greater application with the bat after <a href="https://www.tapmad.com/blog/pak-women-vs-zim-women-3rd-odi-live-zimbabwe-opts-to-bat/5696-5-0">winning the toss</a>. The visitors abandoned the tentative approach that saw them bundled out for low scores earlier in the week, instead opting for a calculated aggression led by the 17-year-old Biza.The innings began with a steady foundation.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Despite losing an opener, Kelly Ndiraya, early to the pace of Tasmia Rubab, <a href="https://www.tapmad.com/blog/pak-women-vs-zim-women-live-zim-fight-back-after-early-loss/5697-5-0">Kelis Ndhlovu</a> (51 off 72) played a sensational innings. Along with her, Biza&rsquo;s knock of 73 off 88 deliveries was a masterclass in strike rotation and selective boundary hitting, punctuated by seven crisp fours that pierced the inner ring.</p>

<p>At 108 for 2 in the 22th over, Zimbabwe looked poised for a total well beyond 250. However, Pakistan&rsquo;s disciplined bowling unit triggered a middle-order wobble just as the visitors looked to accelerate. Left-arm seamer Tasmia Rubab took 3 for 49. She broke the crucial stand by dismissing Biza, who was caught at mid-on attempting to clear the infield.</p>

<p>Syeda Aroob Shah&rsquo;s leg-spin then tightened the screws. She accounted for Runyararo Pasipanodya and Kelis Ndhlovu, ensuring the lower order could not capitalize on the platform. A late cameo from skipper Nomvelo Sibanda (35*) pushed the score past the 220-mark, giving the Zimbabwean bowlers a respectable total to defend.</p>

<p>Pakistan&rsquo;s fielding remained sharp throughout the 50 overs, though they were wary of the 9 extras conceded. For the hosts, the target of 223 represents a more significant challenge than the previous two fixtures, where they chased down or set targets with ease.</p>

<p>With the series already secured 2&ndash;0, Pakistan will use this chase to test the depth of their middle order.</p>

<p>Pakistan will look to carry their ODI form into the shorter format as they close out the home assignment against Zimbabwe.</p>

The PCB announced the Pak Women T20I squad for the upcoming series against Zimbabwe. Uncapped duo Amber Kainat and Saira Jabeen earn maiden call-ups for the Karachi clashes.

PCB Announced Pak Women T20I Squad: Fatima Sana to Lead vs Zimbabwe

<p>KARACHI: Zimbabwe&rsquo;s top order showed renewed steel in the third and final ODI at the National Stadium, reaching 99 for 2 after the first 20 overs after electing to bat first against Pakistan. Seeking to avoid a clean sweep in the ICC Women&rsquo;s Championship series, the visitors produced their most composed Powerplay performance of the tour so far.</p>

<p>The morning began with Zimbabwe captain Nomvelo Sibanda <a href="https://www.tapmad.com/blog/pak-women-vs-zim-women-3rd-odi-live-zimbabwe-opts-to-bat/5696-5-0">winning the toss</a> and opting to set a target, a move that initially looked precarious under overcast skies.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Pakistan&rsquo;s opening bowlers made an immediate impact, striking in the very first over. Kelly Ndiraya, who had struck two boundaries to briefly ignite the visitors, fell for 8 when she was caught off the bowling of Ayesha Zafar. The first wicket fell with just 16 runs on the board, immediately putting Zimbabwe on the back foot. After it, Vimbai Mutungwindu (2) also got out early, leaving 22/2</p>

<p>Following the early losses, Kelis Ndlovu and Beloved Biza were forced into a recovery mission. The pair showed significant composure, choosing to prioritize strike rotation and punishing only the rare loose deliveries from the Pakistan seamers. Ndlovu played the role of the aggressor, reaching a well-constructed half-century.By the end of the 20th over, Zimbabwe had recovered to near triple figures, with Biza remaining unbeaten in the 40s.&nbsp;</p>

<p>While Pakistan&rsquo;s bowlers have managed to stem the boundary flow in the second ten-over block, Zimbabwe&rsquo;s recovery to nearly 100 runs for the loss of just two wickets sets the stage for a competitive total, a stark contrast to their previous outings in Karachi.</p>

Pak Women vs Zim Women 3rd ODI Live: Zimbabwe Opts to Bat

<p>KARACHI: Pakistan Women secured a clinical 206-run victory over Zimbabwe Women in the second ODI at the National Stadium in Karachi, clinching the three-match series with a game to spare. Riding on a record-breaking batting performance, the hosts dominated every department to record their second consecutive massive win in the ICC Women&rsquo;s Championship 2025-29 cycle.</p>

<h2>Centurions Set the Stage</h2>

<p><a href="https://www.tapmad.com/blog/pak-women-vs-zim-women-2nd-odi-live-pakistan-opts-to-bat/5644-5-0">Choosing to bat</a> first, Pakistan&rsquo;s openers Gull Feroza and Sadaf Shamas dismantled the Zimbabwean bowling attack with a historic 189-run partnership. Gull Feroza struck a blistering century, reaching the milestone in just 93 balls, the fastest ODI hundred for Pakistan Women, featuring 13 boundaries. Her partner, Sadaf Shamas, followed suit with her own maiden ODI hundred, scoring 101 off 112 deliveries to continue her prolific form after missing out on a century by two runs in the series opener.</p>

<p>Their relentless aggression laid the groundwork for Pakistan&#39;s highest-ever ODI total, surpassing the 330 they set just two days prior.</p>

<h2>Late Blitz Powers Pakistan to 343</h2>

<p>The momentum shifted seamlessly into the middle and death overs as Sidra Amin took control. Amin anchored the latter half of the innings with an unbeaten 59 off 58 balls, marking her 15th ODI half-century. Late-inning cameos from Aliya Riaz (27) and Ayesha Zafar (18*) ensured the scoring rate remained near seven runs per over, as <a href="https://www.tapmad.com/blog/pak-women-vs-zim-women-2nd-odi-live-pakistan-scored-3434/5647-2-0">Pak Women</a> plundered 104 runs in the final ten overs to finish at 343/4.</p>

<p>For Zimbabwe, the bowling effort was led by captain Nomvelo Sibanda and Christine Mutasa, who each claimed a wicket, but they struggled to contain a batting lineup that looked comfortable on a flat Karachi track.</p>

<h2>Zimbabwe Falter Under Pressure</h2>

<p>Chasing a target of 344, Zimbabwe&rsquo;s reply never gained the necessary traction. The visitors were pegged back early by Pakistan&#39;s pace battery, <a href="https://www.tapmad.com/blog/pak-women-vs-zim-women-2nd-odi-live-pakistan-scored-3434/5647-2-0">slumping to 75/3</a> within the first 20 overs. While Beloved Biza and Kelis Ndhlovu provided brief resistance, the scoreboard pressure eventually forced errors.</p>

<p>Fatima Sana was the standout performer with the ball, dismantling the lower order to finish with figures of 3/15. Momina Riasat and Rameen Shamim supported well, picking up two wickets apiece as Zimbabwe was eventually bowled out for 137 in 39 overs.Series OutlookWith this victory, Pakistan takes an unassailable 2&ndash;0 lead in the three-match series. The win provides significant points for the hosts in the ICC Women&#39;s Championship table, moving them closer to direct qualification for the next World Cup. The two sides will meet again for the final ODI on May 9 before transitioning to the T20I leg of the tour.</p>

Pakistan Women crush Zimbabwe by 206 runs in Karachi to seal the ODI series. Gull Feroza and Sadaf Shamas hit historic centuries in a record-breaking batting display.

Pak Women Beat Zim Women in 2nd ODI: Series Clinched with Record Total

<p>KARACHI: Zimbabwe Women face a monumental task at the National Stadium, reaching 75/3 after 20 overs in pursuit of a massive 344-run target set by Pakistan. The visitors trail by 267 runs with seven wickets in hand, struggling to find the boundary against a disciplined Pakistani bowling attack that has exploited the early movement under the lights.</p>

<p>Chasing <a href="https://www.tapmad.com/blog/pak-women-vs-zim-women-2nd-odi-live-pakistan-scored-3434/5647-2-0">Pakistan&#39;s record-breaking</a> 343/4, anchored by both openers&#39; centuries, Zimbabwe needed a flying start. However, the Pakistani opening pair of Diana Baig and Fatima Sana stifled the scoring from the outset. Baig provided the initial breakthrough in the second over, trapping opening batter Christine Mutasa for 4 with a delivery that nipped back sharply.</p>

<p>The pressure told on the Zimbabwean top order as the required run rate quickly climbed toward nine runs per over. In the 3rd over, Kelly Ndiraya got out on Fatima Sana&#39;s sharp delivery. Kelis Ndhlovu attempted to anchor the innings, navigating the Powerplay with a series of defensive strokes interspersed with occasional flashes of aggression. Her innings of 32 ended when she was clean bowled by Momina Riasat.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The dismissal left Zimbabwe reeling at 66/3, further dampening their hopes of a successful chase.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The middle order has found it difficult to rotate the strike, with the dot-ball count mounting significantly during the first 20 overs.</p>

<p>After 20 0vers, Beloved Biza (29*) remains the lone bright spot for the Lady Chevrons. Alongside Runyararo Pasipanodya, she has focused on survival rather than the scoreboard, attempting to rebuild the innings following the top-order collapse. With the pitch offering turn for the spinners and the required rate now exceeding 9.5 runs per over, the hosts are firmly in the driver&#39;s seat.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Pakistan looks poised to secure not only this match but a series victory, currently leading the three-match ODI series 1-0. Zimbabwe will require a historic middle-order resurgence to prevent a second consecutive heavy defeat in Karachi.</p>

Pak Women vs Zim Women 2nd ODI Live: Zimbabwe Reeling in 344-Run Chase

<p>Pakistan Women posted a strong 343/4 in their 50 overs against Zimbabwe Women in the 2nd ODI at the National Stadium in Karachi. Building on their record-breaking performance from the series opener, the hosts utilized a flat batting surface to dismantle the Zimbabwean bowling attack and set a steep target of 344.</p>

<h2>Opening Brilliance and Century Milestones</h2>

<p>The innings was defined by a massive 189-run opening stand between <a href="https://www.tapmad.com/blog/pak-women-vs-zim-women-2nd-odi-live-openers-dominate-in-karachi/5645-5-0">Gull Feroza and Sadaf Shamas</a>. The pair, who had already put on 162 in the first match, went a step further to provide a flawless start. Gull Feroza anchored the innings with a maiden ODI century, showcasing exceptional timing and placement to keep the run rate above six.</p>

<p>Her partner, Sadaf Shamas, followed up her 98 in the first ODI with another clinical performance. She also scored a century.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Middle Order Acceleration</h2>

<p>Following the departure of the openers, Sidra Amin ensured the momentum did not stall. Amin struck a fluent 59 off 58 balls, using her experience to manipulate the field and find frequent boundaries. While Zimbabwe managed to pick up a few late wickets through Adel Zimunu and Lindokuhle Mabhera, they were unable to contain the scoring in the death overs.</p>

<p>Ayesha Zafar provided a late cameo of 18 off 8 deliveries*, helping Pakistan finish strongly as they plundered over 90 runs in the final 10 overs.</p>

<h2>Bowling Struggle for Zimbabwe</h2>

<p>It was a challenging outing for the Zimbabwean bowlers, who struggled with consistency in their lengths. Captain Nomvelo Sibanda rotated her bowlers frequently but found little assistance from the pitch. Christine Mutasa was the most expensive of the lot, conceding 19 runs in her 2 overs. Howeover, Lindokuhle Mabhero was the most economical of the primary bowlers, finishing with 1-52 from her 10 overs.</p>

<p>Despite making three changes to their XI, bringing in Vimbai Mutungwindu for her debut, the visitors remained unable to break Pakistan&#39;s rhythm for the majority of the session.</p>

Pak Women vs Zim Women 2nd ODI Live: Pakistan Scored 343/4

<p>Pakistan Women produced a clinical batting exhibition to reach 151/0 at the halfway mark of the second One-Day International against Zimbabwe Women at the National Stadium in Karachi.&nbsp;</p>

<p><a href="https://www.tapmad.com/blog/pak-women-vs-zim-women-2nd-odi-live-pakistan-opts-to-bat/5644-5-0">Opting to bat</a> first after winning the toss, the hosts capitalized on a flat deck to firmly establish control as they looked to secure the series. The opening pair of Gull Feroza and Sadaf Shamas dominated the first 25 overs, frustrating the Zimbabwean attack with a perfect blend of aggression and strike rotation. Feroza reached the mid-point of the innings nearing a century, batting on 81 off 78 deliveries*, highlighted by 11 boundaries. Her partner, Shamas, played a composed supporting role, scoring 65 from 72 balls* with 8 fours.</p>

<h2>Powerplay Dominance</h2>

<p>Zimbabwe&rsquo;s new-ball pair, Nomvelo Sibanda and Adel Zimunhu, struggled to find early lateral movement under the Karachi sun. Pakistan&rsquo;s openers were quick to pounce on anything wide or short, racing to 58/0 within the first 10 overs. Despite Zimbabwe captain Sibanda trying to stem the flow of runs with tight lines, Feroza&rsquo;s footwork allowed her to pierce the infield consistently.</p>

<h2>The Middle Overs Squeeze</h2>

<p>As the field spread, Zimbabwe introduced spin and medium-pace through Beloved Biza and Lindokuhle Mabhero. While the scoring rate dipped slightly, the breakthrough remained elusive. The visitors&#39; fielding under pressure also showed signs of fatigue as the partnership crossed the 100-run mark in the 17th over.</p>

PAK Women vs ZIM Women 2nd ODI at Karachi – ICC Women’s Championship 2026

<p>KARACHI: Pakistan Women marked the commencement of Zimbabwe&rsquo;s historic maiden tour of the country with a comprehensive 168-run victory in the first One-Day International at the National Stadium, Karachi.&nbsp;</p>

<p>On a day that belonged to the hosts, a collective batting effort spearheaded by Sadaf Shams and a disciplined bowling performance ensured Pakistan took a 1-0 lead in the three-match series. The win not only secures crucial points but also sets a formidable tone for the remainder of the tour.</p>

<h2>Shams and Alvi Power Pakistan to Mammoth Total</h2>

<p>After being put in to bat on a surface that offered consistent bounce, Pakistan&rsquo;s top order displayed remarkable composure and intent. The innings was built on the back of a masterclass from opener <a href="https://www.tapmad.com/blog/pak-women-vs-zim-women-live-shams-feroza-dominate-powerplay/5595-5-0">Sadaf Shams</a>, who narrowly missed out on a well-deserved century. Shams played with elegant precision, anchoring the innings with a patient 98 off 130 deliveries. She found an able partner in Sidra Ameen, whose aggressive 67 off 59 balls provided the early impetus, putting the Zimbabwean bowlers under immediate pressure.</p>

<p>The foundation laid by the openers was brilliantly exploited in the death overs. Najiha Alvi provided the late-innings fireworks. Her unbeaten 56 off just 30 balls made <a href="https://www.tapmad.com/blog/pakistan-women-post-330-5-zimbabwe-1st-odi-karachi/5603-5-0">Pak Women reach</a> 330 for 5. Her cameo, punctuated by inventive stroke play, effectively took the game away from the visitors. Despite the onslaught, Zimbabwe&rsquo;s veteran off-spinner Precious Marange emerged as the lone warrior with the ball, finishing with respectable figures of 3 for 39 in her 10-over quota, though she lacked consistent support from the other end.</p>

<h2>Zimbabwe Falter Against Disciplined Pace and Spin</h2>

<p>Chasing a record 331 for victory, Zimbabwe&rsquo;s pursuit never truly gained momentum. The visitors struggled to navigate the discipline of the Pakistani pace attack, led by captain <a href="https://www.tapmad.com/blog/fatima-sana-stars-pakistan-women-restrict-zimbabwe-49-2-1st-odi/5609-5-0">Fatima Sana</a>. While 17-year-old sensation Beloved Biza showed immense promise and technical grit with a defiant 53 off 53 balls, the required run rate climbed steadily as wickets fell at regular intervals.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Kelles Ndlovu offered some resistance with 31, but the middle order failed to build the substantial partnerships needed for such a steep chase.The introduction of spin further strangled the Zimbabwean response.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Syeda Aroob Shah and Tasmia Rubab were particularly effective, utilizing the conditions to induce errors. Rubab&rsquo;s opening spell set the tone, while Shah&rsquo;s variations in the middle overs ensured there was no comeback for the Lady Chevrons. The visitors were eventually bundled out for 162 in 36.4 overs.&nbsp;</p>

<p>With this clinical performance, Pakistan confirms their status as favorites heading into the second ODI on 6 May, while Zimbabwe will need to address their batting consistency to stay alive in the series.</p>

Pakistan Women dominate Zimbabwe's historic tour opener in Karachi. Sadaf Shams’ 98 and Najiha Alvi’s rapid fifty lead the hosts to a crushing 168-run victory.

Pak Women Beat Zim Women in 1st ODI: Hosts Secure Huge 168-Run

<p>Zimbabwe Women struggled in their chase of 331 runs in the first ODI at Karachi. By the end of the first Powerplay (0.1-10.0 overs), they were at 43/2, with Pakistan Women maintaining tight control.</p>

<p>Fatima Sana played a key role in breaking Zimbabwe&rsquo;s top order, dismissing Christine Mutasa (1 off 6) and Kelly Ndiraya (11 off 17) in quick succession. This left Zimbabwe at a challenging 34/2, with the pressure mounting. This outstanding performance from Sana has been a key highlight in the <a href="https://www.tapmad.com/blog/pakistan-women-post-330-5-zimbabwe-1st-odi-karachi/5603-5-0">Pakistan W vs Zimbabwe W ODI</a>.</p>

<p>Kelis Ndhlovu and Beloved Biza showed resilience, keeping Pakistan at bay and preventing further wickets. Ndhlovu was 21* off 35 balls, while Biza was 8* off 8 balls, both looking to rebuild the innings for Zimbabwe.</p>

<p>Pakistan Women&rsquo;s bowlers, spearheaded by Tasmia Rubab, held a tight grip on the match. Rubab bowled five overs for just 11 runs, maintaining consistent pressure and ensuring Zimbabwe couldn&rsquo;t break free.</p>

<p>With 49/2 on the scoreboard after 11 overs, Pakistan Women remain in a commanding position.&nbsp;</p>

Fatima Sana takes two wickets in early overs, leading Pakistan Women to a dominant position in the 1st ODI against Zimbabwe Women.

<h2>Middle Order Keeps the Momentum</h2>

<p>After the first wicket, <a href="https://www.tapmad.com/blog/pakistan-vs-south-africa-test-series-spinning-tracks/1737-5-0">Sidra Amin</a> continued the attacking approach. She scored an impressive 67 off 59 balls, hitting nine fours and keeping the scoreboard moving. However, Pakistan faced a brief slowdown as quick wickets of Ayesha Zafar and Aliya Riaz gave Zimbabwe a chance to pull things back.</p>

<p>Despite this phase, Pakistan remained in a strong position heading into the final overs.</p>

<h2>Late Surge Powers Pakistan Past 300</h2>

<p>The momentum shifted again in the closing stages thanks to a powerful finish from Najiha Alvi and captain Fatima Sana. Alvi remained unbeaten on 56 off just 30 balls, smashing eight fours and a six to accelerate the scoring.</p>

<p>Fatima Sana added a quickfire 11 off 3 balls, including a boundary and a six, pushing Pakistan to a commanding Pakistan Women 330 score of 330/5 in 50 overs.</p>

<h2>Zimbabwe Bowlers Struggle for Control</h2>

<p>Among the bowlers, Precious Marange stood out with three wickets, conceding just 39 runs in her 10 overs. Nomvelo Sibanda and Kudzai Chigora picked up one wicket each, but Zimbabwe struggled to contain runs, conceding 43 extras which further boosted Pakistan&rsquo;s total.</p>

<h2>What to Expect in the Second Innings</h2>

<p>Chasing 331 demands near-perfect execution from Zimbabwe. The Karachi pitch is good for batting, but scoreboard pressure will be intense. Pakistan&rsquo;s bowlers will attack early for quick breakthroughs.</p>

<p>Zimbabwe must rely on their top order to build partnerships. With momentum on their side, Pakistan remain clear favorites. Tight bowling could seal a dominant win.</p>

Pakistan Women set a massive 330/5 in the first ODI against Zimbabwe Women, powered by Sadaf Shamas, Sidra Amin and Najiha Alvi at Karachi.

Pakistan Women Post 330/5 Against Zimbabwe in 1st ODI Karachi

<p>KARACHI: An authoritative opening stand between Sadaf Shams and Gull Feroza propelled Pakistan Women to a commanding 178/1 after 30 overs in the first ODI against Zimbabwe at the National Stadium.</p>

<p>Opting to field first, Zimbabwe&rsquo;s bowling attack struggled to find rhythm on a flat Karachi surface. Pakistani openers Shams and Feroza exploited the conditions, putting on a clinical 162-run partnership. Sadaf Shams emerged as the aggressor, reaching the 30-over mark unbeaten on 93 from 118 deliveries.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Her innings has been punctuated by 16 boundaries, characterized by precise driving through the covers and effective use of the sweep against Zimbabwe&rsquo;s spin tandem of Precious Marange and Beloved Biza.</p>

<p>Gull Feroza provided sturdy support, compiling a disciplined 50 off 60 balls. Her half-century, featuring five boundaries, anchored the first two sessions of the afternoon before she was eventually dismissed by Kudzai Chigora. Chigora provided the lone breakthrough for the visitors in the 29th over.</p>

<p>Zimbabwe&rsquo;s fielding remained under pressure throughout the first 30 overs, with several overthrows and a missed half-chance at point allowing the hosts to maintain a scoring rate of nearly six runs per over. Following Feroza&#39;s departure, Sidra Ameen joined Shams in the middle, rotating the strike effectively to ensure Pakistan&rsquo;s momentum remained unhindered.</p>

<p>At the 30-over mark, Pakistan sits at 178/1, well-positioned to set a target in excess of 300. Zimbabwe faces a steep challenge in the remaining 20 overs to contain a rampant Pakistani top order in this opening fixture of the ICC Women&rsquo;s Championship series.</p>
