Nida Rashid's brilliant allround performance has helped Pakistan win the first cricket gold medal ever awarded at the Asian Games with a 10-wicket victory over Bangladesh in the women's Twenty20 final.
After being sent into bat, Bangladesh was bowled out for 92 in 20 overs, with offspinner Rashid taking four wickets for 16 runs.
Rashid 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.
Earlier, Japan defeated China by seven wickets to clinch bronze. The men's competition starts on the weekend.
