Pakistan lost four wickets with 49 runs on the board while chasing 145 to win. In the eleventh over, Nida Dar’s unbeaten half-century kept Pakistan in the run chase despite the fact that Iram Javed (first-ball duck), Muneeba Ali (17, 19b, three fours), Omaima Sohail (10, 14b, two fours), and Bismah Maroof (12, 28b, one four) were all back in the pavilion.

While everything is going on, social media users are thanking Bismah for leading the Pakistani delegation and carrying the flag during the Commonwealth Games 2022 opening ceremony.
