GUANGZHOU: Pakistan bagged its first gold medal at the 2010 Asian Games when its women’s cricket team beat Bangladesh in the final on Friday.

Nida Rashid’s brilliant all-round performance guided Pakistan to a 10-wicket win in Guangzhou, China.
After being sent into bat, Bangladesh were bowled out for 92 in 20 overs, with off-spinner Nida taking four wickets for 16 runs.

Nida then scored a superb unbeaten 51 to guide her team to 93-0 in 15.4 overs. Javeria Wadood hit the winning boundary and was not out 39.

It was Pakistan’s first gold at Guangzhou, after collecting silver in wushu and a bronze in snooker.
