Omaima Sohail Sets New T20I Bowling Record for Pakistan

Pakistan women’s off-spinner, Omaima Sohail, dismantled Sri Lanka as she ran through its batting line-up to register career-best T20I bowling figures, assisting her side to bundle out the Islanders on 112.

Omaima finished with 5/13 in the last group stage encounter of the Women’s Asia Cup 2022, which is now the best bowling display among Pakistani bowlers in the shortest format of the game.

Nida Dar’s 5/21 against Sri Lanka and Sadia Yousuf’s 4/9 are now the second and third-best figures respectively while former skipper Sana Mir’s 4/14 and Anam Amin’s 4/16 are round off the top five bowling figures by Pakistanis.

The Bismah Maroof-led side defeated Malaysia, Bangladesh, India, Sri Lanka, and the United Arab Emirates, while only losing to Thailand, and have qualified for the semi-final stages of the tournament.
