Hangzhou (China): Pakistan women’s cricket team will be eyeing their third gold medal as they kick off their Asian Games campaign tomorrow against Indonesia.
The match will begin at 1400 local time.
This will be the quarter-final of the event after having directly qualified by the virtue of being one of the top four ICC ranked sides in the continent.
The tournament is being played in the T20 format and the Nida Dar-captained team enter the event with momentum on their side after having secured a historic whitewash against South Africa at home earlier in the month.
During the series played at the National Bank Stadium, right-handed opening batter Sidra Amin top-scored for the hosts in the T20I series, scoring 133 runs from three matches at an average of 44.33. In the bowling charts, left-arm spinner Nashra Sundhu topped the table alongside another left-armer Sadia Iqbal with four wickets apiece.
The national side have previously won gold medals in the 2010 and 2014 iterations of the event.
