New Zealand women cricket team Saturday won the match against the Pakistan women team in the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup. The kiwis women side beat Pakistan by 78 runs.
Pakistan's Nida Dar made impressive fifty but the whole team could not achieve the target of 265 given by the New Zealand team.
Second #CWC22 half-century for Nida Dar! She brings it up in 52 balls.

New Zealand Suzie Bates scored her 12th ODI century and became the first New Zealand batter, and fourth overall, to reach 5,000 runs in the format as the hosts looked to end their campaign on a high. In front of a packed Christchurch crowd, New Zealand set Pakistan 266 in what will be both teams final appearance at the tournament.

Though Bates' ton headlined the innings, API Response: ">Pakistan will be relatively pleased with how they kept the innings under control. After Bates' aggressive start, their spinners, led by Nida Dar, kept New Zealand quiet before a lower-order collapse left New Zealand at risk of a total under 250. Katey Martin's 30 off 26 balls ensured they batted out their 50 overs and posted a challenging total.
