Sidra seals series win for Pakistan Women ‘A’

LAHORE: Sidra Amin scored a splendid 108 not out as Pakistan Women ‘A’ defeated West Indies Women ‘A’ by 80 runs in the second One-day International at the Coolidge Cricket Ground to attain an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series.

Sidra dispatched 14 off the 144 balls she faced for fours as her side posted 269 for five.

The right-handed opener added 104 runs for the third wicket with Nahida Khan, who scored her second half-century on the trot with a 51-ball 55 that included eight fours. Iram Javed smashed five fours and a six in her 40-ball 39.

Cherry-Ann Fraser took two wickets for 53.

West Indies batters struggled to keep up with the required run-rate from the beginning. The innings had to be paused briefly in the 36th over due to rain and by then the required run-rate had touched 10 an over. West Indies managed to score 189 for four in their 50 overs.
