In response, Pakistan Women made short work of the chase. Openers Gul Feroza and Muneeba Ali played with intent and precision, dismantling the UAEW’s bowlers with a combination of aggressive strokes and calculated risks. Feroza remained unbeaten on 62 off 55 balls, showcasing her class and control. Muneeba Ali contributed a quick 37 off 30 balls. Their unbroken partnership ensured that Pakistan reached the target in just 14.3 overs, securing a convincing 10-wicket victory.
