Pakistan’s Fatima Sana breaks the world record for fastest 50 runs in a women’s T20 game | Cricket News

Pakistan captain Sana scored 50 off 15 balls in the match against Zimbabwe in Karachi.

Pakistan’s Fatima Sana broke the world record in the women’s T20 cricket tournament with a 15-ball 50 against Zimbabwe.

Playing at home at the National Stadium in Karachi, the winners scored a total of 62 runs off 19 balls as Pakistan thrashed the visitors by 133 runs to seal the score 3-0.

Sana broke the 18-ball century record held by New Zealand’s Sophie Devine, Australia’s Phoebe Litchfield and India’s Richa Ghosh.

The all-rounder got loose in his first game, scoring a boundary, as Pakistan opted to bat first. Hitting 10 fours and two sixes, he split Zimbabwe’s pace attack in an innings that was played at a rate of 326.

Sana, who was named player of the match, helped Pakistan post 223-4 in 20 overs and took one wicket as Zimbabwe were bowled out for 90 runs in 17.1 overs.

Sana has been a popular batsman for Pakistan over the past few years and has improved his batting tremendously since becoming the captain.

The 24-year-old also scored in the World Cup finals for South Africa in two one-dayers.

The Karachi-born batsman has taken 18 wickets and scored 283 runs in his last 10 matches in limited-overs cricket.
