Javeria helps Pakistan trounce Bangladesh

LAHORE - Record breaking Javeria Khan helped Pakistan defeat Bangladesh by 38 runs in the Asia Cup, the maiden win first for the women-in-green at Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium on Thursday. She conceded just eight runs in 8.1 overs to restrict the Bangladesh to 72 runs particularly after Pakistan lost its previous match to the rivals.  Batting first, Pakistan players did not fair well and were reduced to 110 in 44.4 overs when the fixture was of 50 overs. Asmavia Iqbal with 28 runs was the highest run scorer for Pakistan. And everyone was expecting yet another defeat, Javeria and Urooj Mumtaz ripped apart the Bangladesh batting line up. Urooj with three wickets along with Javeria's six made the celebrations quicker for Pakistan. But their form came too late in the event to get them any useful place when India and Sri Lanka have already qualified for the final.
