New Delhi. Recovering from the defeat against India, Pakistan has won two consecutive matches in the Women's Asia Cup. The Pakistani women's cricket team defeated UAE by 10 wickets on Tuesday. With this victory, it has strengthened its hopes of playing in the semi-finals. However, its place in the semi-finals is not confirmed yet.
Group A of the Women's Asia Cup being played in Sri Lanka consists of India, Pakistan, Nepal and United Arab Emirates. In this group, Pakistan and UAE teams have played all their three matches. India and Nepal are yet to play a single match. Currently, India and Pakistan have 4 points each in the group and both these teams are in first and second place. Nepal is in third place with 2 points. UAE could not even open its account in the tournament.
Pakistan's team may be second in the group right now but its place in the semi-finals is not certain. It will play the semi-finals only if the Indian team defeats Nepal. If Nepal registers a big win by causing an upset, then Pakistan's hopes of reaching the semi-finals will be dashed.
The match between Pakistan and UAE was played in Dambulla on Tuesday. UAE team batted first and scored 120 runs for 8 wickets. Tirtha Satish scored the highest 40 runs from their side. Sadia Iqbal, Tuba Hasan and Nashra Sandhu took two wickets each for Pakistan.
Chasing the target, Gul Ferozah and Muniba Ali batted brilliantly for Pakistan. Both Pakistani openers scored the required runs for victory without losing any wicket. Gul Feroz remained unbeaten after scoring 62 runs off 55 balls. Muniba Ali played an unbeaten innings of 37 runs off 30 balls. Thanks to these two, Pakistan won the match by scoring 107 runs in just 14.1 overs.
