Are Mumbai Indians the most dominant team in IPL history?

#CWC22 Since @andyricho_14 took over as the batting coach of #TeamPakistan in 2018, Aliya Riaz’s average has doubled in both formats and strike rates have improved massively. She is now the team’s most reliable and complete batter alongside Nida Dar. (1/2)

What transformed her batting? The former coach explains the behind the scenes workings of #AliyaRiaz - her mental make up, the preparation and the relentless pursuit towards perfection. #CWC22

Aliya Riaz and the workings of a gentle stallion

Even though Pakistan haven't found a lot of success on the field in the last two years, Aliya's rise has been one of the standout positives for the team

Personal attacks are ridiculous. Also, for the record, no other women's team that started in international cricket in 1997 or thereafter has managed to beat ENG, IND, SA, WI and NZ. In cricketing context, Pakistan have actually developed fairly well.

The tenure of Mark Coles and Andy Richards has ensured that a lot will be expected out of David Lloyd Hemp, who takes over as the head coach of the Pakistan women's team. Challenges, however, are plenty.

Many players over many years have been at the receiving end of (if at all) poor umpiring decisions. With each new video that's coming out, it's just looking worse. With power and money, among many good things, also came the entitlement of a bully. Sad.
