Commentary
No run, just a mere push. But no space for a run.
Fractionally short, on off. Aliya forces it to deep cover for one.
On a good length, on off. Aliya pats it to cover.
Quicker and shorter, outside off. Sana slaps it to deep point for one more run.
SIX! All the way! Floated up, on off. Sana charges down the track and gets to the pitch of the ball. Lofts it with a straight bat and clears the long on fielder.
Short and on middle. Sana stabs it down the deck.
Slightly short, on off. Aliya cuts it to backward point.
DROPPED! Would you believe it? Fatima Sana gets a reprieve on the very first ball. How costly will this prove to be for Bangladesh? Flighted delivery, wider on off, fuller as well. Sana pre-empts the slog sweep but gets it right off the toe end of the blade, spooning it back over the bowler's head. Dilara Akter runs in from mid off and gets her hands out in front but it hits her palm and drops to the ground. They cross.
Pakistan Women in big trouble now. Fatima Sana is the new batter.
OUT! DRAGGED ON! 71 in the previous game, but Ayesha Zafar falls cheaply today. Dropped short by Meghla, in line with the off stump. Zafar presses onto the back foot for the pull, but the ball keeps a bit low to graze the inside edge. It deflects onto the off stump. Pakistan Women have slipped to 67/5 after a 46-run opening stand.
Floated up, on off. Aliya drives it to deep cover for one.
Flatter but not all that short, on off. Riaz cuts it hard but picks out backward point.

Keeps it full, on off. Riaz eases it down to long on for a run.
Full and at the sticks, pushed back to the bowler.
Aliya Riaz walks in to bat now.
OUT! CAUGHT! Ritu Moni strikes in her first over. Eyman Fatima falls for a three-ball duck. Sliding in on a good length, on middle and leg. Fatima sinks to a knee and has a heave across the line. Hits it straight down the throat of deep mid-wicket, where Shorna Akter takes a reverse-cup catch at head height. 46/0 has become 61/4 for Pakistan.
Was there an edge? Cross-seam ball, angled in before nipping away. Fatima pushes away from her body without any foot movement and is beaten past the outside edge.
Bowled on a good length, angled in on middle. Zafar whips it to deep mid-wicket for a single.
Quicker through the air, on off, Eyman Fatima pushes it to cover.
With the fall of Shawaal Zulfiqar, the umpires have called for a DRINKS BREAK. Bangladesh have roared back in the middle phase with 3 wickets and have also brought the scoring rate down. With both set batters back in the hut, it is all about rebuilding for Pakistan, and it is not going to be easy against Bangladesh's spin-heavy attack. Eyman Fatima joins Ayesha Zafar out in the middle.
OUT! TAKEN! Shorna Akter strikes again, and the third wicket falls for Pakistan Women. Tossed up, on off, Shawaal Zulfiqar stays back and looks to loft it.
