BREADY: The multi-talented Alana King hit three wickets in one over, but to no avail as rain swept away the first match of the trinational series between Pakistan Women and Australia, here at Bready Cricket Stadium on Saturday.
King broke into the middle order when he dismissed Kainat Imtiaz, Ayesha Naseem and Aliya Riaz for golden ducks in the seventh to restrict the Greenshirts at 47/6.
However the game was called off due to rain after the eighth over with Pakistan struggling at 54/6 despite a promising start from the former reaching 29 runs from three overs.
Megan Schutt made the initial breakthrough when she eliminated Iram Javed in the 12th before Ashleigh Gardner hit twice in the fifth and sent skipper Bismah Maroof and Muneeba Ali back to the pavilion.
Pakistan will now face hosts Ireland in their second match of the trinational series on Tuesday after the hosts and Australia meet on Sunday.
