Transcript
00:00well the tension is palpable out here in the middle for the toss I have the
00:10captains with me for Pakistan it's Nida Dar who's desperate for a win from
00:14Nepal it's the captain Indu Barma who's on high looking for a second win in the
00:19tournament and of course match referee GS Lakshmi is overseeing things
00:23Nida take it away head yeah there's a change that's been confirmed no Sapna
00:33Mariah for Indu Barma's Nepal as Roma returns
00:37Omaima Sohail returns and where does she fit in that batting lineup probably
00:41around fourth number that belongs to her Muniba obviously coming on third I might
00:46think that they might put Sidra in that place but yes Omaima with Omaima they
00:52have strength in their spin department even more so and I think that's a good
00:55thing given the conditions and they will become very very dangerous Pakistan
01:00versus Nepal a very crucial game from group A in the Women's Asia Cup 2024
01:05let's play here comes the first ball it's a 6-3 field oh well bowled and that
01:16will give every man on the Pakistan side a lot of confidence good start and you
01:26spoke about it she got with and she says okay the first
01:29boundary is here what a shot over extra for four she'll feel a lot more
01:35confident about herself as we say this is this wicket number one it's a big one
01:42Pakistan have taken care of Samjhana she's going back to the hut
01:52cuts it beautifully uses the bowler's pace to win that race gets four speaking
02:00of which you don't want to be bowling there that length won't get you wickets
02:04it's very important to understand that easy pickings anyone at international
02:10level will put those away at ample time just waited for the ball and played
02:15right underneath her eyes to perfection sounding very confident he said we
02:20partied that night and but he also told the girls sleep early Oh treat what a
02:28shot
02:31Papa's are struggling to stay consistent pitched up again outside of them that
02:38you'll always get punished on it steady hands to stand and deliver feeler had no
02:45chance whatsoever slammed hard earlier in the day we're talking about the fact
02:51the pleasure that you derive out of playing an exquisite cover drive the
02:54confidence that you get
02:57it was a short delivery and it has been cut away in style for another boundary
03:09previous one of the front foot this one of the back foot second boundary of the
03:14over
03:18well Kabita showing that he's got enough range of shots to counter Pakistan
03:23bowling attacks again the width and ample time it's on the toes I love that
03:29try to reach for it and the execution was perfect
03:34well Kabita take that challenge she comes down the track go straight and she
03:39gets a boundary they're not hanging back Nepal doesn't matter whoever they're
03:48facing they know how to back my muscle hill surprised was slammed hard and had
03:55enough time to react maybe brushing her fingers but beats everyone
04:03the good thing is when she went for it she went for it wholeheartedly okay is
04:11there a chance she thought for it a little bit and then in the end you just
04:15have to go and pick it up and send it back it's another boundary what a good
04:18shot they're taking the attack back to Pakistan hot the drum in probably the
04:26best fielders didn't pick it up you waited for it should have gone sideways
04:32to cover that look at that waiting waiting now she realizes you need to
04:38start covering the line and the distance of the ball early as early as you can
04:46and wicket well bowled and well kept and the second wicket they had to break this
04:55partnership Kabita goes for 13 it's 30 for 2 and you are bang on with your
04:59analysis there clean down wicket number 3 this is the beauty look at that smile
05:06the joy and the wicket wicket number 3 it's 30 for 3 now that's what she does
05:12Sadia Iqbal against the right-handers it's very difficult to put her away with
05:19the angle it comes back in it's hard to guard it's hard to play even on the on
05:25side through the defenses there was huge gap between bat and pad and that's
05:30exactly where Sadia exploited the opportunity another one down a unique
05:36celebration is there in the Burma for not 30 for 3 that was the sheet that
05:43Nidada was carrying perhaps remember carrying a big sheet here so she's got
05:47the reference points that was the invitation that was offered and Rubina
05:51gladly accepts that should break the shackles first boundary for Chetri the
05:58over comes to an end 40 for 3 oh she's taking ages to get there and this might
06:10be a huge wicket the left-hander they've got their best fielders in point really
06:18well read Fatima Sana picks up releases quickly and really accurately as well
06:22Muneeba Ali just didn't get going didn't get going with batting hand didn't get
06:27going with that run she's got to get going now back to the tent it's 40 for
06:33four true absolutely now slip we spoke about that and the ball is taking down
06:41to the fence for four and a slip in there the story would have been very
06:45different
06:48yeah for the roof shards is always an option one might get through that slip
06:53Gordon whenever she gets it right it turns with some face it was full of
06:59delivery yes but Pakistan need wicket there should be looking for wickets
07:07straight over the bowler's head it's a long chase for both long off and long on
07:13but in when it's going to be a boundary a much-needed boundary
07:19never again persistent with the my muscle alien that hasn't bowled it's
07:23been almost 14 overs now she's the captain far more experience and has more
07:29control but to my muscle ale it's been leaking runs you have to be careful with
07:34these runs you never know Nepal can trouble you with the fielding they have
07:39and also the balling the way Nepal is playing right now they're picking up
07:50boundaries every now and then and singles as well another miss field oh
07:56can be tight yes we'll have to go upstairs he's quite short quite short
08:03till now and Muni Bali has done well shot off the ground another one gone it
08:13is a wicket for Pakistan Marina was right everybody else was wrong well the
08:25sign was for turns out the batters got for 71 for five is 74 now for five
08:42well it was meant to go to square leg there was a field right there so she's
08:46lucky it's actually taken the edge because no field is in slip to find for
08:50the third it was a teaser but it didn't have the legs to get all the way
08:55changes the pace in the variation sometimes the faster ones that she
08:59bowls just outside of stem so effective and this runs off for a boundary yeah
09:05that's powerfully struck she got a lot of bat on that it raced away very
09:14frustrating as a bowler when you get the ball hit back past and you can't collect
09:17anything will do shape with the past cleared the front leg so it wasn't about
09:23the feet but the hands were good they should never get through though you
09:28should be the best fielder on the pitch off your own bowling that one has gone
09:39through the keepers legs and Sadiq well given away nothing in the first three
09:45but that's now two boundaries in a final over I think you can see that
09:49they've had a bad six months the way they've reacted to this Pakistan there's
09:53nothing you can do about this these things happen in crickets it was a good
09:56delivery is a bit of luck I don't think there's a one trick method to it go
10:04straight through straight through should have been one is for good tape that is
10:15wayward that'll be a boundary without disputes the Joshi just turning it on
10:21now towards the end for Nepal that's two boundaries that's nicely played just
10:31helped on its way this is an expensive over now it wasn't already it's 13 it
10:38just gives Nepal a bit of a push as they approach a hundred we can expect
10:44Fatima planner to close out the innings but this is the penultimate over it's
10:48been three for first of all a miss field then a poor delivery and then a bit of
10:52deft touch so we've had everything in this second last over it's been a really
10:56fruitful one for Nepal as they look to just give themselves something to bow
11:00last famous now they won the by chaos easy run out on the cards affected well
11:12the running between the wickets has been to Nepal's detriment today and
11:21there is another well they've just been together at the end of that 19th over it
11:27why didn't they discuss this because of the people
11:31they didn't have an agreed plan the kind of thing that you can decide before the
11:36end of the over but they didn't disappointing end for Pooja
11:44which mean for her Pooja Mahato goes for 25 from 32 oh she's got that my goodness
11:52what a shot that you got your she just wields that Sabre of hers and sends it
12:00for six such team togetherness from Nepal they celebrate their own success
12:06but it's celebrate each other's success and this is a successful swing of the
12:10willow in at her nice and full mid-off up it didn't matter because it went all
12:17the way for six well a dot ball to finish but Nepal after being put in to
12:32bat first have finished with a hundred and eight for six the Rana markers took
12:37at it 26 from 30 for her Pooja Mahato 26 25 from 32 but the standout Kabita
12:43Joshi 31 from 23 she was absolutely sublime she's given it to a chance it's
12:50a small chance for Pakistan just the one extra they'll be pleased with that but
12:54it's a hundred and eight for six got a win behind their back we're going to
13:00fight each and every delivery that's just squeezed past the fielder not what
13:12Nepal would want in the field with just a hundred and nine to defend it's the
13:15perfect start for Pakistan and Gulferoza doesn't matter if it's the first
13:21delivery it's there to be hit go for it Gulferoza having a reputation to play
13:27attacking shots which allowed her to play to have stopped yes by the standards of
13:33Nepal or the slip would have been handy over there it is just extras that Nepal
13:44can ill afford but it sends Pakistan off to a bit of a flyer
13:50not an ideal delivery to end the first over three runs that's exactly what
13:56Nepal doesn't want to do trying to bang it hard with the angle it's bent on no
14:03signals or numbers there and it's powerfully struck it is the power that
14:12is taken that past the fielder in the deep and Gulferoza is not messing
14:17around Gulferoza will establish her supremacy towards that onside that's a
14:24strength pick it up nicely kept the head steady eyes on the ball and
14:30extension of the arms again just wrist coming into play at the end well the
14:41faster they come the faster they go this is a brisk little start from Gulferoza
14:48now for Pakistan couldn't get the runs going against India today she had a
14:53responsibility for herself and Pakistan in the bottom hand coming through but
14:58the good thing was that straight back
15:08that's gone through as well well she is just timing them so well they're flying
15:15off the bat at times with some assistance in the field it's finding its
15:20way to the boundary like luck is favoring Gulferoza again bottom and
15:26trying to replicate the shot she played in the previous delivery but this time
15:30the line was different who brushed the hand pick up four more runs that's
15:41nicely played Muniba she's been at the non-strikers end for a long time a sweet
15:47bit of timing gets her off the mark with four that's her forte
15:52Muniba very strong towards offside square and even pulls and cuts it
15:58beautifully this occasion waited for it wasn't enough bounce she
16:05bend and waited to play it underneath the eyes starts off with a juicy full
16:14toss and Feroza is not going to miss out with the start she's already given
16:19herself in Pakistan they'll be much more confident that's exactly the start they
16:25needed especially in the power play Gulferoza firing up Nepal is literally
16:32feeding to her strength
16:37kind-hearted Mitali Raj not a kind-hearted better is Muniba sweeps it
16:44before I wish we'd seen this kind hearted Mitali rise when we were playing
16:49against it never she would have said a full top six
16:54rooms maybe four along the ground well this one was misdirected that's it fine
16:59of the field it she was served of the strike for a while but not anymore a
17:02couple of boundaries in this one so far well she's made a good decision here
17:09gets in a great position he's it over the offside all the fielders up for
17:14boundaries in the over 50 up with that shot as well so really productive one
17:18for Pakistan drives beautifully and the joy that you get out of that shot will
17:27be of another level what a beautiful cover drive seven gone it's 60 without
17:31loss a highest score Muniba on 24 sweeps yet again powerfully struck and there is
17:39the might in that shot but yes is this running away for a boundary another
17:47sweep and she gets that to the boundary so yes I had a couple of bats from
17:53Sachin he gifted me two of his bats and one of them I've scored so many runs in
17:59England I remember that and every time I went into bat I've got runs maybe a
18:06little bit of his magic was there in the back for me to get those runs
18:15beautifully cut and it has to be a long chase beautiful shot considering it was
18:20on the right to the point fielder on to the left of the sweeper she got it
18:25pretty well way outside off stump short ball they're very good square of the
18:33region that races off to the boundary and here if Pakistan gets to the target
18:40quicker then it might help their net run rate there is the half century the fist
18:50pump is out and that is her first and what a moment to get it team needed it
18:56and she has delivered it congratulations on this half century well Pakistan
19:01cricket has been hurting the women's side has been struggling they can't
19:05couldn't seem to get a win they're on their way now and a 50 as well for a
19:09young player that will be very pleasing for the management and the team there she
19:14was a previous highest she's now on 50 and she's got plenty more room to go
19:21even higher maybe she could double her highest score whereas against India they
19:26were all getting stuck in the crease and as we speak she goes big for one bounce
19:32boundary and intent is there they want to finish this early usage of the feet
19:37there was a vacant area there between square leg and long on and she gets the
19:44just got a bit closer and created some momentum as well
19:48lots of space once she came down the pitch she didn't have to worry about the
19:51fielder in the deep she was in square but she sent it forward of the fielder
19:56one bounce didn't quite have the legs that's into the wind so one bounce and
20:00four runs but winning the game for your team that is different level you were
20:08talking to the girls before the game what was the talk about as they collect
20:12two more will that be a boundary that's going to be a boundary deduct four more
20:16from 15 it's 11 he needs to win
20:23has been clinical and clean backing from Rosa is relying on her strength he knows
20:29that offside probably is not one of her strong areas he never tries to overheat
20:36it just tries to time it but whenever it's on to the pads or on side that's
20:41where she can smack it with freedom
20:46better beaten we could keep a beaten gonna be was it an inside edge yes it
20:53was bottom edge gets the boundary and that is the hundred of the innings as
21:00well of course that's the hundred of the partnership to yeah a bit of unlucky
21:05on a ball their keeper didn't expect it just the neck of the bat it's always
21:12difficult for the keeper to pick that deviation
21:19let's go straight into the hands it is not going to be a 10-wicket win for show
21:25it was a cut it straight into the hands of the point fielder they were just a
21:32hit away since that opportunity goes for Rosa but again if you want to cut
21:37it keep it down or either go aerial over the end field played straight into the
21:42hands probably she was expecting it those eyebrows could tell should have
21:48finished the game but brilliant innings much-needed innings for Pakistan and
21:53go for Rosa just took 35 deliveries for her 57 gone in the heart Pakistan one
21:59down 105 up in the air will there be the strike that they'll get them the
22:09win oh yes it is Pakistan have won this emphatically with nine wickets
22:17Muneeba 46 unbeaten runs half-century for Feroza and this is clinical precise
22:24bang on performance important game a really good performance from the girls
22:34in green especially in batting that's where they were struggling they needed
22:39some momentum they needed someone to put the hand up and say okay I'll take the
22:43responsibility and the openers have done it courtesy to go for Rosa couldn't
22:47finish the game but Muneeba Ali reaching 46 of 34 deliveries hitting the winning
22:53runs and much relief can be seen on the other all space a true captain didn't
22:59bat didn't bowl but delighted with the win near the dark I really enjoyed that
23:06opening partnership they've enjoyed the win and of course they have because it's
23:10been a tough year but this is where they're at they've got the win under the
23:13belt in the Asia Cup won by nine wickets
