Pakistan Gen-Z spinner’s 6-7 act propels team to Asia Cup semifinal
**Sandhu's Six-for Sevens Pakistan into Asia Cup Semis** What a spell by GenZ spinner Nashra Sandhu! The left-arm spinner ripped through Hong Kong with figures of **6/7** to send Pakistan into the Asia Cup semifinals. **The Spell That Made History** Sandhu came on in the 9th over of the chase and by the 12th had Hong Kong reeling. Her four-over maidens went for just 7 with six wickets — the **best-ever T20I figures by a Pakistan bowler** (men or women) and the first time any Pakistan bowler has taken six wickets in a T20I. Only Chamari Athapaththu's 7/5 beats that among full members (SL vs Indonesia, this week). Sandhu's 6/7 sits at No. 2 on the list. **How It Unfolded** - 1st over: Yasmin Daswani (batted) - 2nd over: Lamplough & Bibi - 3-wicket over: Shanzeen Shahzad, Alison Siu, Iqra Sahar — six-for complete! Hong Kong were bowled out for just **71**. **Earlier in the Day** Pakistan batted first and posted a modest **143/8**. Shawaal Zulfiqar top-scored with a brisk 47 (35 balls, 4x). Joyleen Kaur was the pick of Hong Kong's bowlers with **4/19** in her 4 overs. Pakistan won by **72 runs**. **Coming Up** Pakistan face Sri Lanka in the semis on **Fri, Sept 11**. The winner of Bangladesh vs UAE meets India in the other last-four clash. Great bowling from a rising star. 🏏 *Source: Wisden* Source: Wisden
