Women's World Cup: This Was The Day We Could Have Beaten England, Says Fatima Sana
ODI World Cup: Pakistan captain Fatima Sana couldn’t hide her disappointment after persistent rain washed away what she called “a golden chance” for her team to claim their first-ever win over England in Women’s ODIs, as their ICC Women’s World Cup clash at the R. Premadasa Stadium ended in a no-result on Wednesday.
Pakistan were well placed at 34 for no loss in 6.4 overs, chasing a revised target of 113 from 31 overs (DLS), when rain returned to spoil what looked like their best opportunity yet to defeat England on the world stage. With the result, both sides shared points — a blow to Pakistan’s semifinal hopes, which now hang by a thread following their third washout of the tournament.
“This was the day we could have beaten them,” Fatima said after the match. “This pitch was good for pacers. I saw a lot of performances on this track, so I knew it would help fast bowlers. I just tried to bowl in good areas and target the stumps. But I would have been happier if we would have won the match.”
