Pakistan Women Replicate Men's Woes with Comical Run-Out
A chaotic mix-up between openers Muneeba Ali and Gull Feroza highlights Pakistan's struggle against Australia in the 2026 Women's T20 World Cup.
Pakistan Women’s opening pair produced a moment of slapstick comedy during their chase against Australia in the 2026 T20 World Cup at Headingley. In the second over, a wide delivery from Kim Garth slipped through wicketkeeper Beth Mooney, prompting Muneeba Ali and Gull Feroza to scramble for a run. Both batters hesitated midway, and a sharp throw from Georgia Voll found Feroza short of her crease at the bowler’s end.
It was the latest in a long line of self-inflicted errors that have dogged Pakistan cricket. The mishap proved costly as Pakistan collapsed to 86 all out in 13.4 overs while chasing 200. Muneeba top-scored with 32 off 25 balls, but only two other players reached double figures. Four batters were dismissed for ducks as Australia’s bowlers, led by Sophie Molineux (2-6) and Ellyse Perry (2-9), ran through the lineup.
