Dar was bowling the second ball of her seventh over – the forty fourth of the New Zealand innings within the first ODI – to Sophie Devine when she was struck within the face by the shot. She acquired medical consideration on the sector earlier than being taken off, and has been suggested relaxation for 2 days.
Sana might be making her captaincy debut in Christchurch on Friday. In June, she led Pakistan within the ACC Women’s Emerging Teams Asia Cup, the place they reached the semi-final. In home cricket, Fatima led PCB Blasters to the title of the T20 Women’s Cricket Tournament.
“It is an honour to lead the Pakistan women’s side in ODIs, although the circumstances are unfortunate with Nida Dar’s injury,” Fatima stated in a press release. “She has been an inspiration, and I wish her a speedy recovery.
“We had a historic T20I sequence win towards New Zealand, and I do know the gamers are desperate to carry out properly within the ODI sequence too. Although we did not have an excellent outing within the first ODI, we’re all geared as much as excel in tomorrow’s sport.”
Pakistan have suffered a spate of injuries in New Zealand with Diana Baig and Shawaal Zulfiqar also sidelined alongside Dar. Baig, who was ruled out of the ODI series due to a finger injury sustained during a practice on the eve of the first match, has undergone surgery on her index finger of the bowling arm. She will miss competitive cricket for four weeks.
Pakistan’s squad for second ODI: Fatima Sana (capt), Aliya Riaz, Bismah Maroof, Ghulam Fatima, Muneeba Ali (wk), Najiha Alvi (wk), Nashra Sundhu, Natalia Parvaiz, Omaima Sohail, Sadaf Shamas, Sadia Iqbal, Sidra Amin, Umm-e-Hani and Waheeda Akhtar.
