Pakistan restrict UAE to 103 in Women's Asia Cup match

A clinical bowling display helped Pakistan restrict the UAE to 103/8 in the Women's Asia Cup game on Tuesday. Sadia Iqbal, Nashra Sandhu, and Tuba Hassan bagged two wickets apiece for the Women in Green, while captain Nida Dar scalped one.

Wicketkeeper Theertha Satish starred with the bat for the UAE, scoring 40 runs off 36 balls with the help of five boundaries. Skipper Esha Oza and Khushi Sharma also chipped in with scores of 16 (26) and 12 (13). The remaining batters failed to reach even double digits.

Notably, Pakistan lost their opening game against India by seven wickets. They returned to winning ways by registering a nine-wicket win over Nepal, courtesy of openers Gull Feroza and Muneeba Ali’s 57 and 46*, respectively.

The Nida Dar-led side would be keen to beat the UAE in their last group-stage game to reach the semifinals of the T20 event. Harmanpreet Kaur and Co. have already qualified for the semifinals from Group A. The two semifinals are scheduled to be played on Friday, July 28.
