Pakistan women cricket team’s captain Bismah Maroof made history on Saturday and became the first Pakistani woman to complete 2000 runs in women T20 international.

The 28-year-old achieved the target during her 29-ball-34 in the first T20I against Bangladesh women cricket team at the Gaddafi Stadium Lahore beating them by 14 runs in the first of the three-match of series.

Bismah reached this milestone in the 6th over of Pakistan’s innings with an excellent struck for four runs off right-arm medium pacer Panna Gosh.  She is on number third in Asia after two Indian cricketers Mithali Raj and Harmanreet Kaur.
