US EditionMooney to the Rescue as Australia Overcome World Cup Scare Against Pakistan
Beth Mooney scored 109 and Alana King remained unbeaten on 51 to set a record ninth-wicket partnership of 106 runs, rescuing Australia from 7-76 to post 221 runs.
- On Wednesday , Beth Mooney scored 109 off 114 balls to lift Australia women's cricket team to 221/9 at R Premadasa Stadium, Colombo.
- After a probing spell from spin, Australia slumped to 7-76 against Pakistan spinners, with Nashra Sandhu, Pakistan spinner , troubling the Australian top order.
- The pair produced a 106-run ninth-wicket stand, including a blistering 53 off the final four overs to propel Australia to 9-221.
- The total leaves Pakistan facing a tough chase, as the 9-221 on the slow, turning R Premadasa Stadium wicket should prove challenging and demand an extraordinary batting performance.
- Looking to the tournament, those performances suggest Mooney's recent form, with two centuries and two half-centuries in her last six innings, will be vital for Australia in the ICC Women's Cricket World Cup 2025.
