Fatima Sana: Fatima Sana rewrote the record books with a breathtaking display of power-hitting as the Pakistan captain smashed the fastest half-century in women’s T20 internationals during the third T20I against Zimbabwe in Karachi.

The 24-year-old reached her fifty in just 15 balls, beating the previous record jointly held by Sophie Devine, Phoebe Litchfield and Richa Ghosh who all scored their fifties in 18 deliveries.

Sana’s phenomenal innings also matched the record for the fastest fifty in women’s T20 cricket, equalling the achievement of Marie Kelly for Warwickshire in 2022 and Laura Harris for Otago earlier this year in New Zealand’s Super Smash competition.
