The Pakistan women side took one wicket per bowler to fell the Sri Lanka women batting side.

Pakistan Women losing early 3 wickets at 34 runs with a crucial fall of Gull Ferozan by an amazing catch from Nilakshi De Silva gave some hope of win to Sri Lanka. Maroof and Naseem played responsibly to lead a great partnership. Naseem took charge while Maroof kept supporting her with her defensive game play.


The game took pace after the 15th over when Naseem struck a splendid six. The Sri Lanka Women displayed a sloppy game with careless overthrows here and there. The last 28 runs came off just ten balls and Naseem finished at an unbeaten 45 runs off 31 balls.
