Pakistan Women openers Gull Feroza and Muneeba Ali shared their second back-to-back century stands to seal the first ever 10-wicket win in the history of the Women’s T20 Asia Cup at the Rangiri Dambulla International Cricket Stadium yesterday.

The Feroza-Muneeba partnership set up a thumping 10-wicket win for Pakistan against UAE, and all but secured a semi-final spot for them.

UAE scrapped their way to 103-8 but Muneeba and Feroza hunted the total down with 35 balls to spare. Player of the Match Feroza struck eight fours in her 55-ball 62* and Muneeba four fours in her innings of 37* off 30 balls.

Sadia Iqbal was the pick of the Pakistan bowlers with 2/11 at an economy rate of 2.75. Nashra Sandhu and Tuba Hassan contributed with two wickets apiece.

Sandhu took the first two wickets after UAE’s openers made their way out of the powerplay posting 24-0. Theertha Satish top scored with 40 off 36 balls (5 fours) before Tuba got through her defences.

UAE ended their Women’s T20 Asia Cup campaign with three losses.

Scores:

UAE Women 103-8 (20) (Theertha Satish 40, Sadia Iqbal 2/11, Nashra Sandhu 2/22, Tuba Hassan 2/17)

Pakistan Women 107-0 (14.1) (Gull Feroza 62*, Muneeba Ali 37*)
