LAHORE: Wally Tate Park in Queensland witnessed an unfortunate interruption as the second T20 match between Pakistan and Australia blind women’s cricket teams was abandoned due to persistent rain at the venue in Australia.

Esha Faisal stood tall amidst the collapse, playing a composed knock of 32 runs off 31 balls. Her resilience helped Pakistan reach 116/9 in 15.2 overs before the skies opened up again, rendering the outfield unplayable and forcing the match officials to call off the game.

Australia’s bowling attack was led by C. Webeck and A. Hart, both claiming two wickets apiece, while S. Hall chipped in with one. Despite their strong performance, the teams had to settle for a no-result due to the weather’s interference. The series remains evenly poised, with the third and final T20 scheduled for Tuesday, April 22 at the same venue.
