Fatima Sana’s Most Memorable Performance from Last Year
In July, everyone witnessed Sana’s most memorable performance in the Caribbean when she claimed her maiden five-for in ODIs. Moreover, she also played an attacking knock of 28* to power Pakistan to a 22-run win (D/L Method).
Besides playing in Pakistan, Sana also traveled to play in Bangladesh, West Indies, South Africa, and Zimbabwe. She returned after executing impressive all-round performances everywhere.
From Sana’s 24 wickets last year, 18 came in the 11 matches she played against the West Indies. She showcased a lot of compassion when attacking West Indies batters and succeeded in keeping them at bay.
The ICC statement further said that Sana has “shown good power and range as a lower-order batter too. Batting at No.8, she has registered impressive scores of 28*, 22*, and 17* against strong sides like West Indies, South Africa, and Zimbabwe, respectively.”
In April 2019, the 20-year-old was also named to Pakistan’s squad for their series against South Africa.
