Australia to Win Over Pakistan
Australia to Win Over Pakistan: A magnificent, rescue-act century from Beth Mooney propelled Australia to a crushing 107-run victory over Pakistan in the ICC Women’s World Cup. After a stunning top-order collapse left them reeling at 76/7, Mooney (109) partnered with tailender Alana King (51*) in a record 106-run ninth-wicket stand to post a competitive 221/9.
In response, Pakistan’s chase never began, crumbling to 114 all out. The Australian pace attack, led by Kim Garth (3/14), dismantled the top order, reducing Pakistan to 31/5 and securing Australia’s second tournament win.
