#2 Asmavia Iqbal’s valiant fight in the death overs
After choking Pakistan in the middle overs, Sri Lanka was cruising towards victory. However, Asmavia Iqbal had other plans as she fought valiantly and brought Pakistan agonisingly close towards the target.
Coming to bat at number eight with the score 135 for six, Asmavia first added 24 runs for the seventh wicket with Kainat Imtiaz and then stitched a partnership of 22 runs with Baig for the ninth wicket.
Asmavia’a brilliance lied in the way she kept the scoreboard ticking and she prevented the required run rate from going beyond their reach.
Her resilient effort ended as she was run out of partners in the 47th over. Asmavia stood not out after scoring 38 runs from 45 balls but her effort was not enough to steer her team home.
