Furthermore, Muneeba received recognition and appreciation for becoming the sixth woman to achieve a century in the T20 World Cup’s history from players like West Indies’ Ian Bishop.
Team Pakistan is back in the competition after taking an early hit from India, their archrival. In the recent clash, Ireland bowled out for 95, with Nashra Sandhu claiming career-best figures of four for 18.
Veteran Nida Dar, who scored 33, and star player Muneeba made a total of 101 stitches.
Additionally, The opening Ireland batsmen Amy Hunter and Gaby Lewis failed within the first five overs. Orla Prendergast, a young player, hit a 31-foot field goal, while Eimear Richardson subsequently made 28 off of a 17-footer. Nashra Sandhu from Pakistan then tricked Orla and Eimear.
However, The Women in Green were defeated by Ireland in a T20 series in November of last year, but in the most recent T20 World Cup match, Ireland was outplayed.
