Pakistan Women's Dominant 3-0 Series Sweep Over Zimbabwe Women in ICC Women's Championship 2025-29 Pakistan Women capped off a dominant series with a nine-wicket demolition of Zimbabwe Women in the third and final One-Day International (ODI) at the National Stadium in Karachi, completing a 3-0 sweep that lifted them to second place in the ICC Women's Championship 2025-29 standings with eight points from six matches. The victory marked a significant milestone for Pakistan, showcasing their superiority in the series and solidifying their position in the global rankings. Zimbabwe, invited to bat first by stand-in captain Muneeba Ali, posted 222 for 9 in their 50 overs without ever threatening to set a truly imposing target. Beloved Biza top-scored with a fluent 73 off 88 balls, while Kelis Ndhlovu provided solid support with 51 off 72. Tasmia Rubab led the bowling attack with three wickets, and Ayesha Zafar was miserly throughout, conceding just 13 runs in six overs on her way to two dismissals. What followed was barely a contest. Sadaf Shamas and Gull Feroza had made a habit of dismantling Zimbabwe this series, and they did so once more with a 220-run opening stand—Pakistan's second-highest partnership for any wicket in WODIs and their third consecutive 150-plus stand of the series. Their combined tally of 571 runs across three matches is the highest ever by an opening pair in a bilateral ODI series. Gull Feroza was the aggressor, reaching her hundred off just 83 balls to break her own record for the fastest ODI century by a Pakistan women's batter—a record she had set only three days earlier. She finished unbeaten on 106, ending the series with 256 runs at an average of 128. Sadaf fell agonisingly short of consecutive hundreds, caught for 90 in the 32nd over. Pakistan completed the chase in 31.#zimbabwe_women #sadaf_shamas #gull_feroza #pakistan_women #beloved_biza
Pakistan Secure Historic ODI Series Victory Over Zimbabwe Pakistan women’s cricket team achieved a landmark 3-0 series victory over Zimbabwe in one-day internationals, marking their most significant win in the format. The whitewash propelled Pakistan to the second position in the ICC Women’s Championship 2025-29 points table, trailing only New Zealand. The triumph also set the stage for their upcoming participation in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026, with the team aiming to build on their dominant performance. The series victory was highlighted by Pakistan’s record-breaking 206-run win in the second ODI, a feat that underscored their clinical dominance. Gull Feroza emerged as a standout performer, continuing her exceptional form with a second consecutive century in the third ODI. This achievement made her only the second Pakistan woman batter to score consecutive ODI centuries, further cementing her status as a key player. Feroza also broke her own record for the fastest ODI century by a Pakistan woman, reaching the milestone in just 83 balls. Her partnership with Sadaf Shamas was equally remarkable, as the duo amassed 571 runs across the three-match series. This total surpassed the previous record for the highest bilateral ODI series score by a pair, showcasing the team’s cohesive batting lineup. Feroza’s contributions were pivotal, not only in scoring runs but also in setting the tone for Pakistan’s aggressive approach throughout the series. Coach Wahab Riaz praised the team’s collective effort, emphasizing that the success was a result of collective hard work rather than individual brilliance. “I believe the performances have been outstanding in this particular series,” Riaz stated.#icc_women_s_t20_world_cup_2026 #pakistan_women_cricket_team #gull_feroza #sadaf_shamas #wahab_riaz
