Pakistan women’s team gears up for third Australia T20I

CANBERRA: Pakistan women’s cricket team held a full-strength training session on Saturday at the Manuka Oval before the final T20I of the three-match series against Australia, scheduled for January 29.

All the players of Pakistan’s T20I squad participated in the final training session held here in a bid to finish a disappointing tour of Australia on a winning note.

Pakistan players engaged in rigorous batting, fielding and bowling drills throughout the day as they gear up for the final encounter and deny Australia a chance to clean sweep the series.

 

It is pertinent to mention that Australia have an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series after they beat Pakistan in the prior two fixtures.

The Green Shirts also had a flop show in the recently-concluded ODI series where Bismah Maroof’s side endured a series sweep by the dominant Aussies.

Furthermore, after concluding a disappointing Australia Tour, Pakistan women’s team will depart for South Africa to partake in the upcoming ICC Women’s T20 World Cup, scheduled to take place from February 10 to 26.

Australia Women hammer Pakistan in second T20I to seal series

HOBART: Beth Mooney led the batting charge after bowlers decimated the visitors’ batting lineup as Australia outclassed Pakistan in the second T20I on Thursday and sealed the series with a game to spare.

Australia tapped the full extent of their bowling arsenal as they utilized nine bowlers to confine Pakistan’s fragile batting on a paltry total of 96/7 after they opted to bat first.

In return, Mooney displayed her striking prowess as she scored a stunning 46 from 29 balls to steer Australia to a comfortable eight-wicket win with 44 balls to spare.

Skipper Meg Lanning, on the other hand, contributed 31 off 32 in the chase before she was dismissed in the ninth over off Nida Dar, who then went on to hunt down Mooney in her next over.

Earlier, opener Munneba Ali and skipper Bismah Maroof put up a brief resistance as the two gathered 35 runs for the second wicket before Pakistan underwent a middle-over collapse and started to lose wickets at regular intervals.

Besides Muneeba’s 35 and the skipper’s unbeaten 29 from 28 balls, none of the batters could make an impactful batting performance.

A paltry 97-run target was never enough to cause any trouble to the mighty Australian side, who have now defeated Pakistan in five consecutive matches during the tour, including three ODIs.

With yet another disappointing outcome following a 3-0 ODI series whitewash, Pakistan are yet to find their first win in Australia with only a T20I now left to be played.

Australia, in return, eased past the target with 38 balls to spare. Perry who claimed 2 for 3 in her two overs, showed her batting class as well, as she went unbeaten on 57 from 40.

Perry came out to open for Australia in place of Beth Mooney, along with skipper Meg Lanning, who was beaten by an excellent arm ball from Sadia Iqbal in the second over.

Tahila McGrath held the crease for some time with Perry before she was cleaned up by Nida Dar in the 8th over for 14.

Ashleigh Gardener (30 off 19), however, stood rock solid with Perry and denied Pakistan further breakthroughs as the two gathered unbeaten 64 runs to take Australia home.

Earlier, Omaima Sohail and Ayesha Naseem put up a monetary fightback lower down the order after Pakistan were once stuck at 57/5 in 10.4 overs. Omaima made 30 from 36 balls while Ayesha scored 24 off 20 balls.

With yet another disappointing outcome following a 3-0 ODI series whitewash, Pakistan are still searching for their first win of the tour with only two T20Is now left to be played.

Set to chase 337, Pakistan could accumulate 235/7 in their set of overs as none of their batters could score big in the run chase.

Skipper Bismah Maroof top-scored for the touring side with 44 but was a touch too slow as she conceded 71 deliveries after openers Sadaf Shamas (30) and Sidra Ameen (34) provided a cautious start.

Despite their batters chipping with some contributions, Pakistan fell 101 runs short of victory due to a defensive approach.

Ashleigh Gardner led the Australian bowling attack with 3/30, while Jess Jonassen claimed two wickets.

Women’s WC: Australia thump Pakistan at the back of Healy’s brilliance

MOUNT MAUNGANUI: In the sixth match of the ongoing ICC Women’s World Cup, Australia’s Alyssa Healy starred with the bat to power her side seal a consolidating seven-wickets victory over Pakistan, here on Tuesday.

Set to chase a mere 192, Australia comfortable sealed a consolidating victory by seven wickets and 92 balls to spare.

Australia’s opener Healy shone with the bat in the run chase; scoring a brilliant 72 off 79 balls with the help of seven boundaries to set a perfect foundation for the run chase.

Healy’s opening partner Rachael Haynes, on the other hand, also batted brilliantly and put on a valiant 60-runs partnership for the first wicket with Healy. The left-handed batter was looking solid until the 11th over before Bismah Maroof dismissed her for a run-a-ball for 34.

Healy then put on another 60-plus partnership with the newly joined Meg Lanning. The pair took the score to 123 in the 22nd over before Lanning made her way back to the pavilion after scoring 35.

Following Healy’s dismissal in the 28th over, Ellyse Perry and Beth Mooney then put on an unbeaten and match-winning 40-runs partnership and took their side to the victory. Perry scored an unbeaten 26, while Mooney remained not out at 23.

For Pakistan, Omaima Sohail picked two wickets, while Bismah managed to make one scalp.

Batting first, Pakistan could only manage to score a paltry 190/6 in the allotted 50 overs despite the brilliant half-century knocks from Bismah and Aliya Riaz as the rest of the batters remained clueless in front of the Australian bowling attack and scored cheaply.

Bismah scored 78, while Aliya followed back with 53, but both the batters remained a little too defensive as Bismah faced a mammoth 122 balls, while Aliya faced 109.

For Australia, Alana King led the way with two wickets, while Megan Schutt, Perry, Amanda-Jade Wellington, and Nicola Carey struck out a batter each.

Following this victory, Australia have strengthen their top position on the points table, while Pakistan remained at the bottom with two defeats.
