CAPE TOWN: Pakistan women’s team captain Bismah Maroof and all-rounder Ayesha Naseem will not be available to the side for today’s Group B match against England in the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup.

According to the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), Bismah sustained a niggle in the groin during her 33-ball 26 against the West Indies on Sunday.

Vice-captain Nida Dar will lead the Green Shirts in their final match of the mega event today at the Newlands.

Moreover, the PCB medical panel has advised four to six weeks of rest to Ayesha Naseem, who pulled her hamstring in the match against Ireland on 15 February.

It is pertinent to mention here that Pakistan are already eliminated from the tournament as England and India confirmed the semi-final spots from Group B.
