Schutt claims five against Pakistan in T20

Pace bowler Schutt joined Molly Strano, Jess Jonassen and Julie Hunter as Australians to take a five-wicket haul in a T20 international, with her figures the third best of the group.

The South Australian got the key wicket of Bismah Mahroof when she had her caught behind down the legside on review, before Sadaf Shamas followed later in the same over.

Schutt then returned at the death to remove Pakistan's top-scorer in Omaima Sohail at mid off for 30, along with Fatima Sana at cover and Tuba Hassan at mid off.

Perry also bowled superbly up front with her 2-3 her best return in T20 cricket since her injury woes began in 2020.

She removed both openers, including a brilliant yorker to go through Javeria Khan on 16 and take her middle stump.

King (2-16) provided the other highlight of the innings with a superb one-handed caught-and-bowled after Nida Dar hit a full-blooded drive back at her.

The legspinner also bowled Ayesha Naseem for 24 after the right-hander had slog-swept her for six and also dispatched Darcie Brown over midwicket with a powerful pull shot.
