With 126 wickets under her belt, Pakistani all-rounder Nida Dar on Tuesday passed Anisa Mohammed of the West Indies to secure the top spot in women’s T20 International cricket.
In Tuesday’s ICC Women’s T20 World Cup match against England, the right-hander reached the milestone.
The accomplishment was accomplished by the off-spinner in her 130th T20I game, who currently averages 18.18 with the ball.
Yet before destroying Pakistan by a record-breaking 114 runs in the match, England set the biggest score in Women’s Twenty20 World Cup history.
The seasoned all-rounder tied the mark on Sunday at Boland Park in Paarl during a Women’s T20 World Cup match versus West Indies.
Dar equaled former West Indies player Anisa Mohammed’s record of 125 wickets in women’s T20 international matches by taking two wickets for 13 in four overs.
Though West Indies eventually defeated Pakistan by three runs to end their group matches with two victories out of four, it was a bittersweet day for Dar.
