Pakistan Crumbles as Australia Secures Easy Victory in Women’s T20 World Cup
Australia dominated Pakistan in a one-sided match at the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2024, cruising to a 9-wicket victory. Chasing a modest target of 83, Australia comfortably reached the total with 54 balls to spare at Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
In this highly anticipated Pakistan vs Australia Women’s T20 clash, Pakistan’s batting lineup faltered under pressure, managing just 82 runs, which the Australian side easily chased. Alyssa Healy led from the front with a quickfire 37 off 23 balls, but had to retire hurt in the 10th over due to cramps.
Ellyse Perry stepped in, scoring an unbeaten 22, while Ashleigh Gardner sealed the win with seven not out. Beth Mooney was the only Australian wicket to fall after a steady 15.
