CAPE TOWN: Pakistan all-rounder Nida Dar surpassed West Indies’ Anisa Mohammed’s record of 125 wickets to become the highest wicket-taker in Women’s T20 internationals.Â
Veteran Dar achieved the remarkable feat when she took the wicket of England captain Heather Knight in the Women’s T20 World Cup Group 2 match in Cape Town on Tuesday.
She now has 126 T20I wickets to his credit – the most by any bowler in the shortest format.
Despite Dar’s praise-worthy accomplishment, she conceded 47 runs in her four overs as England completely dominated Pakistan bowlers in the game and scored a massive 213/5 – the highest total by any team in T20 World Cups.
It may be noted here that Pakistan are already eliminated from the mega event after losing two games – against India and West Indies – in the group stage.
England and India confirmed the semifinal spots from Group B, leaving today’s encounter a dead rubber.
