By India Today Web Desk: Pakistan wicketkeeper-batter Muneeba Ali created history at the Women's T20 World Cup on Wednesday, 15 February, becoming the first woman to score a century in the women's T20I format for the country. Muneeba's 102 from 68 balls, which had 14 boundaries, formed the backbone of an imposing total of 165-5, one that proved too big for opponents Ireland. The Irish were bowled out for 95 succumbing to a massive 70-run defeat in the competition. Left arm spinner Nashra Sandhu bagged a four-fer in the second innings to help the team return strongly after Opener Muneeba led the charge for Pakistan, scoring 33 of the 44 runs she and Javeria Khan put on for the first wicket before Javeria was run out by Mary Waldron. Captain Bismah Maroof added only four runs to the 68 not out she made against India as Arlene Kelly’s fingertips just clung on to a low catch to reduce Pakistan to 55 for two. The wicket brought out Nida Dar, who unusually played the patient role next to Muneeba, who brought up her half-century from 40 balls by surviving the first of two drops by Louise Little. Muneeba began to put on show for the crowd, as she brought up Pakistan’s one hundred by pulling Laura Delany on one knee for the second of back-to-back boundaries.
