After 18 losses in a row, Pakistan’s women’s cricket team has finally won their first World Cup series, and Pakistani Twitter is ecstatic. Nida Dar was the show’s star, winning both the Player of the Match award and a place in everyone’s hearts.
Pakistan won the 2022 ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup for the first time, defeating the West Indies by eight wickets in Hamilton, Ontario.
The West Indies were reduced to 89/7 by Pakistani spinners before the batters maintained their composure to secure an eight-wicket victory.
Captain Bismah Maroof expressed her gratitude and mentioned Dar as one of the players that excelled in the match.
Alhamdulillah! happy to get the much needed win in the #CWC22 after two close games against SA & BAN.
