Vice-captain Bismah Maroof played a brilliant knock of 65* and returned figures of 3-14-1 to give Pakistan a 29-run victory over Bangladesh in the first Twenty20 International at the Southend Club ground in Karachi.
Bismah’s knock had propelled Pakistan to a total of 124 after Sana Mir won the toss and elected to bat in the historic match which ended a nine-year drought for women’s international cricket in the country.
