Pakistan’s premier off-spinner, Sana Mir, has made Pakistan proud by registering her name in the list of all-time greats in women cricket. She now holds the record for most wickets in ODIs by a spinner.
The 33-year-old took a solitary wicket in the final ODI against South Africa women on Sunday to go past Anisa Mohammed’s record of 146 wickets. Sana had earlier equaled the record in the second ODI.
