A Historic Moment
Pakistan’s left-arm spinner has made history. With her brilliant spell against South Africa, Nashra Sandhu breaks Sana Mir’s record and sets a new benchmark in women’s cricket.
The Record-Breaking Feat
In the final ODI of the series, Nashra produced a stunning 6/26. Her bowling dismantled South Africa for just 115 runs in 25.5 overs.
This performance went past Sana Mir’s 5/32, which had stood as Pakistan’s best figures in ODIs since 2010. Only Sajida Shah’s 7/4 against Japan in 2003 ranks higher.
Nashra’s Journey in Numbers
Since her debut in 2017, Nashra has been a reliable performer for Pakistan. She now has 104 wickets in 74 ODIs, becoming the third Pakistani woman after Sana Mir and Nida Dar to achieve this landmark and cross 100 ODI wickets.
Her consistency and accuracy in the middle overs have made her a key match-winner. Step by step, she has grown into one of the most trusted players in the team.
Why This Matters
For years, Sana Mir was the face of Pakistan women’s cricket. Breaking her record is symbolic — it shows how the new generation is ready to take the game forward.

Building Pakistan’s Future
This feat is more than numbers on a scorecard. It highlights Pakistan’s steady growth in women’s cricket and the emergence of world-class talent.
From Sana Mir’s leadership to Nashra’s dominance, the journey reflects resilience, progress, and hope for the future.
Final Word
Breaking a record once held by a legend is special. Nashra Sandhu’s consistency and skill make her a true role model for upcoming cricketers.
Her success shows that Pakistan women’s cricket is moving forward with confidence — and Nashra is leading the way.
