Karachi: In what was a finishing dress rehearsal, on the last day of team games in the Pakistan Cup Women’s One-Day Nida Dar’s greatest 93 did not see PCB Blasters winning two-wire against PCB Challenger.
Both teams already had spots confirmed in the final and will meet each other on the same spot in a daily competition on Tuesday night.
All-rounder Nida – who later won the game — saved Blasters from a mischievous two to two in 149’s search. In her unsuccessful 117-ball stay at her plinth, she struck 13 fours and took her side across the line four over.
