The veteran all-rounder equalled the record on Sunday against West Indies in a Women’s T20 World Cup match at Paarl’s Boland Park.
Dar took two wickets for 13 in four overs to equal former West Indies player Anisa Mohammed’s record of 125 wickets in women’s T20 internationals.
However, it was a bitter-sweet day for Dar, as West Indies eventually beat Pakistan by three runs to finish their group fixtures with two wins out of four.
