Women's Asia Cup:
In a stunning upset, Pakistan defeated India by 13 runs on Friday in the Women's Asia Cup. This is the third occasion in their T20 cricket history that they have overcome their bitter rivals.
Nida Dar, a batswoman, helped her team win by batting a fifty and taking two wickets at critical moments
Chasing a goal of 137 runs, the Indian squad could only muster 124 runs before being bowled out in the 20th over.
Following their triumph, Pakistan's captain Bismah Maroof exclaimed that the match was crucial after their defeat in the previous match.
"We did a great job of executing the plan. How superbly Nida batted. All we wanted to do was intentionally take chances. For us, Nida contributed a critical inning. We have spaces in the middle, and since we know Nida can't hit, we try to strike the strong points.
The Pakistani captain claimed that they successfully read the conditions today and carried out their plans.
Harmanpreet Kaur, the captain of the Indian team, praised Pakistan for playing "excellent cricket" and winning the match.
We attempted to give other batters a chance in the middle innings because you have to do that as the tournament progresses, but it backfired. It could have been pursued. We played too many dot balls in the middle overs, which prevented us from taking singles and rotating strikes..
The cricket community applauds the women's team:
Shoaib Malik, an all-around player, congratulated the squad on Twitter and expressed his pride in them.
The captain's knock from Bismah Maroof and the manner in which Nida Dar conducted herself today demonstrated her commitment, too," he said.
Mohammad Hafeez, a former cricket player, tweeted, "[You are] a superstar."
This is "not the first time they have done it," said runner Hassan Ali.
