Alia Riaz Shines, But It’s Not Enough:-
This time around he’s gone over long gone Alia Riaz lifts it to the fence the intention was for it to go to the maximum but we’ll take that boundary for now that’s a nice shot nicely controlled sweep shot in the Gap Nea finds the boundary she’s timed that really well the ball races towards the boundary a full toss and swept away finds another boundary Pakistan needing these boundaries suddenly a bit of uplift in the dressing room there you go she just going towards onside onto the boundary line.
What A Catch straight into the throat What A Catch and what a field placement as well as the Fielder was exactly indeed was a good shot a middle shot an excellent catch by porch well that has ended the story 26 deliveries for her 16 runs five down Pakistan on 47 runs well this time into the Gap will surely go towards the boundary four runs well this is what a positive approach does she finally gets her boundary cutting it in between the cover and the cut Fielder very focused towards the covers gets the gap of four excellent pickup but this is exactly the shot.
Which Fatma wanted to play Chances taken but just getting an atch surely looking for the boundary this has been required here for Pakistan that has been up asly played backf for point and point this is the region where they’ve got four runs and outside very outside out off from delivery and making full use of the wit she’s getting from the baller slow one in the air leg side and dropped that has gone straight to Louie and she has floated slow one into the pitch gets it over point will that run away yes it will goes to the fence for a boundary .
Maris in gap saw aliia Ras coming down the track rolled her fingers over but the bounce in the pitch helped aliia play that cut shot that she loves Inside Edge that do down to fine and trickle away into the fence the deficit at the top it’s unable she’s unable to counter that but she has played some really good knock but this time lucky Inside Edge six deliveries 30 required launches it and it goes down to Long off for a single although this has been an impressive partnership 57 of 39 this is a shot but that should have been played .
