ICC Women's World Cup 2017, New Zealand vs Pakistan: 5 Talking Points

#2 Rowe impresses on her WC debut

Rowe returned with figures of 9-2-22-3

Having lost two quick wickets, Pakistan were looking to come out of the tricky situation and slowly build their innings. However, Rowe had other ideas.

The 20-year-old right-arm medium fast bowler, in just her second over, caught two batswomen plumb in front of the wickets on consecutive deliveries of the 13^th over. After Javeria Khan smashed her for a four on the first ball of the over, Rowe bowled two identical deliveries and sent back both Khan and new batswomen Nain Abidi to the pavilion.

Sana Mir, playing her 100th ODI, managed to deny the 20-year-old a hat-trick. The NZ bowler then went on to bag another wicket, that of Kainat Imtiaz in the 31^st over and returned with figures of 9-2-22-3.
