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

#3 Sana Mir – The lone warrior

Before being the ninth wicket to fall, the skipper scored a well-crafted half-century

The 31-year-old all-rounder, also the skipper of the team, has quite often been the only one from this Pakistani team who has displayed at least a semblance of resolution. Coming in to bat with four of her top order players back in the hut, Mir gathered herself and fought remaining of the battle alone.

Before being the ninth wicket to fall, the skipper scored a well-crafted half-century and made sure her team crosses the 100-run mark at least.

She added 28 runs for the sixth wicket with Iram Javed and then 35 runs with Sidra Nawaz for the eighth wicket.
