ICC Women’s World Cup 2022 Match 24: England women thrash Pakistan

-

 The England Women’s Cricket Team produced a dominating display to defeat Pakistan in a one-sided affair played at Hagley Oval, Christchurch on Thursday.

England captain Heather Knight won the toss and decided to field first. It was an ideal start for the defending Champions as Katherine Brunt dismissed Nahida Khan off the very first delivery with beauty providing a simple catch to Heather Knight. The pitch was suitable for fast bowlers making life tough for the Pakistani batters. Bismah Mahroof could not reach her crease while trying to take the second run. At the end of the first 10 overs, Pakistan women made just 28 for 2.

After the field restrictions, the England bowlers kept it tight not allowing the Pakistani batters to score runs easily. Sidra Ameen looked decent enough while Omaima Sohail also showed some intent before a direct by Tammy Beaumont resulted in the run-out of Sohail. Nida Dar struggled to rotate the strike against disciplined England bowling. Katherine Brunt eventually got rid of Dar to leave Pakistan in big trouble.

Katherine Brunt produced a beauty to dismiss well-set Sidra Ameen. Heather Knight dismissed Aliya Riaz caught by Shurbsole at short-fine leg leaving Pakistan in tatters. Sidra Nawaz provided some resistance but was eventually dismissed. Ecclestone did a superb job finishing the tail to bowl out Pakistan for a paltry total of 107. The England bowlers never allowed the Pakistani batters to score runs easily on a tough batting pitch.

In reply, Diana Baig produced a stunning delivery to dismiss Tammy Beaumont. Dani Wyatt showed class keeping the pressure on the Pakistani bowlers. Baig was simply outstanding with her line and lengths not allowing Wyatt and Knight to score runs easily. At the end of the first 10 overs, England women made 48 for 1.

Wyatt kept the pressure on the Pakistani bowlers and completed her fifty off 51 balls. Heather Knight also looked impressive to complete the job for England. Both Knight and Wyatt added unbeaten 87 runs for the 2nd wicket. The defending Champions England registered an emphatic 9 wickets win with 30.4 overs remaining.

England women 107 for 1 in 19.2 overs ( Dani Wyatt 76*, Heather Knight 24*, Baig 1/14) beat Pakistan women 105 in 41.3 overs ( Sidra Ameen 32, Sidra Nawaz 23, Katherine Brunt 3/17, Sophie Ecclestone 3/18) by 9 wickets.

With this win, England women move up to third place in the points table with 3 wins and a better net run-rate. For her unbeaten 76 off 68 balls, Dani Wyatt was named player of the match.
