LAHORE: Pakistan left-arm spinner Nashra Sandhu broke former captain Sana Mir’s long-standing record against South Africa to register the second-best bowling figures in a Women’s One Day International (ODI).
Sandhu tormented the South Africa women’s batting lineup in the final ODI of the three-match series, claiming a six-wicket haul that bundled out the visitors for 115 runs in only 25.5 overs.
