Ellyse Perry: The Best of Her T20 World Cup Career
Ellyse Perry has played ten T20 World Cups. Her 71 off 48 balls at Headingley was her highest ever score at the tournament, beating a previous best of 42.
She hit nine fours and a six, sharing a century stand for the second wicket with Georgia Voll before Pakistan chipped away with late wickets from Nashra Sandhu and Rameen Shamim.
Perry reached fifty off 30 balls. She was eventually caught behind off Fatima Sana after a review confirmed the edge. Her first over with the ball then removed Muneeba Ali and Aliya Riaz, leaving Pakistan 74 for 6 with no realistic path to 200.
Beth Mooney: Two Dislocated Fingers, Five Dismissals
The sub-story of the Australia innings was Beth Mooney’s wicket keeping. Mooney had retired hurt with back soreness in the previous match.
At Headingley she was struck on the right hand twice, dislocating the same finger on both occasions and carried on each time after medical staff realigned it. She was involved in five dismissals, including the caught-behind of Aliya Riaz off Perry.
Pakistan’s Four-Match Campaign: The Numbers
| # | Match | Score | Result |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | vs India | 106 all out | Lost by 64 runs |
| 2 | vs South Africa | 126/9 | Lost by 2 wickets |
| 3 | vs Bangladesh | 100/8 | Lost by 23 runs |
| 4 | vs Australia | 86 all out | Lost by 113 runs |
Pakistan failed to pass 130 in any of their four matches. They were bowled out in two of them. The total of 86 here is their lowest of the tournament.
The Aliya Riaz Question — By the Numbers
Pakistan’s most discussed selection through this World Cup has been Aliya Riaz. She scored 7 off 11 balls against Australia, at a strike rate of 63.63. Across four matches, she has contributed little in either batting or bowling with critics pointing to a career T20I average of 21 and a strike rate of 82 across 63 appearances. Her only T20I fifty came in 2019. She played every match of this tournament.
Run Outs Again -8 run out in 4 matches
Three more run outs against Australia. Gull Feroza run out in the second over, Ayesha Zafar run out in the fourth, Rameen Shamim run out in the eleventh.
That is Pakistan’s tournament-wide pattern summarised in three dismissals. Across four matches, poor running between the wickets cost Pakistan wickets in every game when they needed partnerships most.
Gull Feroza’s Catch
One positive effort by Pakistani women in match was captured. Gull Feroza took a one-handed diving catch at slip off the first ball of the match to remove Beth Mooney for a duck. It was the cleanest Pakistan fielding moment of the tournament, and it gave Australia a wobble before Perry took over.
