Did anyone watch the match between New Zealand Women's team and the Pakistan women's team today?
We had a big upset today as the Pakistan women team beat the New Zealand Women's team by 7 wickets. This was a big win for a weak women's team of Pakistan. I never expected that they would give this performance in the home ground of New Zealand.
This is the first T20 between the two teams being played at Dunedin and we have three T20 matches between them. The win by Pakistan women make the series interesting as New Zealand would not want to lose the home series.
Looking at the match history of these two women cricket teams, in every meeting, New Zealand has had more wins, but in the last meeting today, it really surprised everyone because the Pakistan team managed to win, but by not too big difference.
This was their first win against New Zealand and was complete surprise for women T20.
New Zealand may feel little embarrassed because they lost at home and this is regret for everyone including the New Zealand players themselves, just look at all the players looking to try to catch up but they failed.
But the New Zealand team actually doesn't need to regret it too much because there are still other matches ahead for T20 and ODI that they can use as revenge for this defeat.
They just need to learn to be able to gain an advantage early on and really maintain it until the game is over.
For the Pakistan team, Bismah Maroof and Aliya Riaz really were the players who dominated the runs for Pakistan in their victory this time.
