Most Wickets in Women’s T20I: The second match of the three-match T20 series was played between the women's teams of England and Pakistan on Friday, May 17 in Northampton, in which the visiting team lost. Pakistani batsmen were seen struggling against the English bowlers and due to this the team had to face defeat by a big margin. Pakistan may have had to face defeat but team captain Nida Dar made a big achievement in her name and she has become the highest wicket taker in Women's T20 International. For this special feat, he made Amy Jones of England his victim.
Nida Dar made two batsmen her victims in England's innings and left Australia's Megan Schutt at the top in terms of most wickets. Shute has taken 136 wickets in 110 matches, while Nida has taken 137 wickets in 148 matches. Ellyse Perry of Australia is in third place, who has 126 wickets in her name in 154 matches.
If we talk about the second match of the three-match series, Pakistan's condition was bad in it. Batting first, England scored 144/6 after playing 20 overs, in which Ellis Capsey and Nat Sheaver-Brunt contributed 31-31 runs. At the same time, Maiya Bouchier also played an inning of 30 runs. Nida Dar was the most successful bowler from Pakistan.
While chasing the target, there was a flop show from Pakistani batsmen. Wickets kept falling one after the other and the entire innings was reduced to just 79 in 15.5 overs. Only three batsmen from Pakistan could reach double figures, out of which the highest score of 19 runs came from the bat of Alia Riaz. Sophie Eccleston took the maximum of three wickets for England and became the female bowler taking the highest wicket for her country in this format.
Due to the defeat in this match, Pakistan team has lagged 0-2 in the current series and now it will face the challenge of avoiding defeat with a clean sweep. The third and final match of the series will be played in Leeds on 19 May.
