PAK vs IRE: Bismah set to become Pakistan's most capped ODI player.

LAHORE -- Pakistan skipper Bismah Maroof is set to become the national women side's most capped ODI player during the final match of the series against Ireland at the Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore, on Wednesday.

She has till date featured in 120 ODIs and Wednesday's ODI will be her 121st appearance, taking her past Sana Mir's 120 ODIs.

Lahore-born Bismah made her ODI debut at the age of 15 against India in Jaipur in the Women's Asia Cup in December 2006. Her 43 runs in the match was the second-highest score for the side after Sajjida Shah's 44. In 120 ODIs, Bismah has scored 2,960 runs (most by a Pakistan batter in the format) at 29.89, which includes 17 half-centuries.

Bismah captained the ODI side for the first time in 2013 and has led the team in 30 ODIs thus far, scoring 958 runs.
