Pakistan pacer Fatima Sana will lead the side in the second Women’s ODI against New Zealand at Christchurch’s Hagley Oval Stadium on Friday.
In the opening game of the three-match series, Pakistan captain Nida Dar was bowling to Sophie Devine in the 44th over of the New Zealand innings.
Sophie Devine played a shot that struck Nida Dar’s face. The latter was taken off the field for a checkup.
The star Pakistan all-rounder has been ruled out of the all-important second WODI as she was advised a two-day rest.
Pakistan have appointed Fatima Sana as the stand-in captain. The pacer said becoming a captain is an honour but the circumstances that led to her becoming the leader was unfortunate.
