Feroza and Shamas Set New ODI Partnership Record for Pakistan Women

Pakistan openers Gull Feroza and Sadaf Shamas created history for the Pakistan women’s national cricket team by recording the second-highest opening partnership in Women’s ODIs during the second match of the home series against Zimbabwe women’s national cricket team at National Bank Stadium.

Batting first, Pakistan made a dominant start as both openers attacked from the outset and quickly piled up runs, taking the team total to a massive total.

Feroza and Shamas crossed the 150-run partnership mark, with Feroza reaching her maiden ODI century while Shamas moved closer to another hundred in the 50-over format.

The partnership finally ended at 189 runs when Lindokuhle Mabhero dismissed Feroza. She scored 100 runs from 95 deliveries, including 13 boundaries, and helped register the second-highest opening stand in Pakistan women’s ODI history.
