Muneeba Ali became the first Pakistan batter to score a century in the T20I format, as she reached the milestone against Ireland on Wednesday in Women’s T20 World Cup.

Muneeba played a 102 run-knock from 68 balls to help Pakistan reach 165-5 in 20 overs, which is Pakistan’s highest ever T20 World Cup total.

The left-hander now has the highest individual score for Pakistan Women in T20 internationals. It is also the highest individual score for any batter in this World Cup so far.
