Zong Flutter to Celebrate Women’s Day

Zong Flutter especially designed to cater women of Pakistan, will be celebrating its first Women’s Day by inviting the spirited women of Pakistan to share their inspirational stories with the telecom company.
Flutter has announced to honour and recognize those women who have tried to bring about a positive change individually, within communities, and in their professions without losing their feminine side.
Women wishing to participate in the activity will just have to dial 0311-8881999 from any network to share their stories with Flutter. In recognition of their efforts, women with the most inspirational stories will win an appearance on a famous LIVE Morning show on March 08, 2013. Through this platform they will be able to share their stories with the entire nation, thus inspiring countless other women to follow their footsteps.
Not only this, a lucky draw will also be conducted among all participants for gold earrings, whereas all women taking part in the International Women’s Day activity will be able to enjoy Flutter Lounge Services absolutely free for one week.
This lounge service is designed while keeping in mind the needs of women. It offers many interesting and interactive bouquets of services including Recipes, Health and Fitness Tips, Family & Childcare, Islamic rights, Beauty & Style Tip, Bolly-wood Gossip, Tips from Zubaida Appa, & Drama Alerts.
Sajid Mahmood, Chief Commercial Officer of ZONG says, “It is quite easy to overlook the efforts of women in today’s fast-paced life. We often forget to thank the important women around us like our mothers, sisters, wives, female friends and colleagues for the positivity they bring into our lives through their contributions. International Women’s Day provides us the opportunity to do so. And with Flutter we want to recognize the women who are changing and shaping their lives and working towards a better future for themselves and their daughters.”
Realizing that women are an underrepresented segment of our society, ZONG had introduced Flutter in July last year – a package which talks to women directly in their tone of voice. ZONG an international brand of China Mobile entered Pakistan’s telecom industry in April 2008 and has now spread its coverage across the country. Among all the Chinese investments in Pakistan, China Mobile is the biggest investor in Pakistan.

Pakistan Beat South Africa In 2nd T20 And Wins The Series By 1-0

Pakistan Beat South Africa In Second T20 And Wins The Series By 1-0
 Pakistan 195 for 7 (Hafeez 86, Kleinveldt 2-27) v South Africa

 Mohammed Hafeez turned his tour around as he became the first Pakistan batsman to score 1,000 Twenty20 runs and notched up his highest score in the format to propel his team to a big total in the deciding match against South Africa. With no Dale Steyn to contend with, Hafeez played with freedom and finally showed some of his class on this tour.

South Africa's attack was flayed almost from the very beginning of their innings and may have been taken by surprise at Nasir Jamshed and Ahmed Shehzad's positive approach.

Shehzad was the more confident of the two openers and showed the first sign of his intent with a cut in the second over. Lonwabo Tsotsobe offered width and even though there was a third man prowling, Shehzad went on a Sehwag-esque upper cut and beat the fielder.

In the third over, the pair stepped up. Shehzad settled in against Kyle Abbott. He took on the full ball and the short one and seemed to enjoy the ball coming on at pace. Jamshed could not find his timing in the same way and after being hampered by what looked like a hand niggle, was cramped for room by Tsotsobe and played the ball straight to Justin Ontong at midwicket.

The very next ball, the South African fielders made the mistake that cost them. Hafeez cut the ball to Faf du Plessis at point and Shehzad had charged all the way up to the other end. Du Plessis' throw missed the non-strikers' stumps but went to mid-on, where Ontong had enough time to run Shehzad out. He also missed, letting Shehzad off a second time.
      
Shehzad did not make another mistake until much later. Instead, he went on to display power and placement in equal quantities. He launched Chris Morris over long-off to show his competency of the former and beat du Plessis, arguably the most agile fielder around, by opening the face of his bat to guide a slower ball for four in an elegant showing of the latter.

What characterised his 83-run second-wicket partnership with Hafeez was how well they both found gaps and timed their shots. Hafeez pulled when it wasn't short enough but took advantage of the powerplay and lack of fielders outside the ring, he charged Robin Peterson with success and even managed to thread his defensive shots between fielders.

The area behind short fine-leg and backward point was a favourite of both the batsmen and they scored nine boundaries there between them. When they were at the crease, the run-rate remained above 10-an-over and a massive total was in sight.

But Shehzad could not time his running as well as his shots and he eventually fell on his sword. Hafeez reverse-swept Justin Ontong, brought on as du Plessis tried to keep the over-rate under control, wanted a run but Shehzad set off late. Morris' throw from short third man was accurate and Shehzad had to go for 46.

Hafeez continued aggressively with Ontong and cow corner his new target. He nailed it three times in the 14th over to bring up his highest T20 score and set himself up to become a centurion in the format. With the time and the confidence to get there, it seemed nothing would stop Hafeez except himself. In a bizarre twist, he slid onto his stumps as he smashed a Rory Kleinveldt ball over the covers and was out hit wicket.

That sparked a mini collapse for Pakistan. They lost four wickets in the space of 19 balls as South Africa's death bowling showed improvement. Kleinveldt, who had tried the slower ball to some effect earlier, picked up two wickets, with Chris Morris and Kyle Abbott also benefitting.

Only Kleinveldt may be able to salvage some pride from his bowling figures and the unit as a whole may salvage something in being able to keep Pakistan under 200.
