RAWALPINDI – Karachi and Multan register their maiden wins, while Lahore grabbed their second consecutive win on day two of the National Women’s T20 Tournament on Tuesday.

Peshawar v Karachi:

Karachi posted a mammoth total of 183-2 in 20 overs after they were invited to bat first by Peshawar. Opening batters Muneeba Ali and Javeria Khan allowed Karachi a breezy start courtesy of a 93-run stand.

Momina Riasat provided the breakthrough for Peshawar when she removed Muneeba (64, 41b, 8x4s, 2x6s). A 60-run stand between Javeria and Yusra Amir further solidified Karachi’s position in the game. Javeria completed her second consecutive half-century (51, 39b, 6x4s) before she was dismissed by Salwa Raheem.

Peshawar’s chase got off to a faltering start as Raahima Syed was run out for a duck in the second over and Tehzeeb Shah was trapped leg-before wicket by Aimen Anwar for just a run. Then, Momina fell to Masooma Zahra after scoring 10 from 18, including a boundary.

Syeda Aroob Shah picked up two wickets on consecutive deliveries to further push Peshawar against the wall. Captain Aleena Shah’s fighting knock of an undefeated 44 from 66, including seven boundaries, went in vain as Peshawar ended with 82-6 in 20 overs, awarding Karachi victory by 101 runs.

Multan v Quetta:

Quetta won the toss and decided to field first. Gull Feroza (75 not out, 66b, 9x4s), playing a captain’s innings, hit an unbeaten half-century to take Multan to a fighting total of 129-3 in 20 overs.

Gull-e-Uswa struck early to remove Fareeha Mehmood (5, 10b, 1×4) inside the powerplay. Trouble deepened for Quetta in the seventh over when Khadija Chishti (10, 12b, 2x4s) fell to Asma Shareef and Tuba Hassan was run out for a duck. Opening batter Dua Majid’s resilient knock of 42 from 48, including three fours, kept hope alive for her team until she was run out by the Multan skipper. Saima also chipped in 12 from 10, including one four. Quetta only managed to get to 108-9 in 20 overs, losing against Multan by 21 runs.

Lahore v Rawalpindi:

After opting to bat first, Lahore suffered an early blow as right-arm pacer Waheed Akhtar removed Sadaf Shams (6, 8b, 1×4) in the third over. Bismah Maroof replaced Sadaf on the crease to stitch a 42-run stand with her captain Sidra Amin.

Sidra top-scored for the side, hitting an unbeaten 85 from 60, showcasing 12 boundaries and a maximum, to take Lahore to 160-3 in 20 overs.

Aima (25, 25b, 4x4s) and Fajar Naveed (16, 19b, 3x4s) propelled Rawalpindi’s chase with a 52-run opening stand, until it was cut short courtesy of Areesha Noor who removed Fajar in the seventh over and dismissed Aima in the ninth over.

Leg-spinner Ghulam Fatima and left-arm spinner Nashra Sandhu both picked up three-wicket hauls, while Areesha Noor had two wickets to her name as Rawalpindi were restricted to 119-9 in 20 overs.
