Pakistan Defeat SL Women to Clinch a 3-0 Series Sweep

Spinners Sana Mir, Nashra Sandhu, Nida Dar and Bismah Maroof have claimed all ten wickets between them to roll over Sri Lanka women for 107 in their pursuit of 216 and lead Pakistan women to a 3-0 series sweep.

This was Pakistan women’s first ODI series win since October 2015, when they beat Bangladesh 2-0 in Karachi.

Sri Lanka had a positive start in their chase with Nipuni Hansika and Chamari Polgampola adding 49 for the first wicket in 13 overs.

Sandhu then struck with her left-arm spin to remove Polgampola for 10 and spark a collapse.

Sri Lanka lost their 10 wickets for 58 runs to be bowled out in 41.3 overs.

Sandhu took 3 for 18 and finished the series as the joint second highest wicket-taker alongside Dar with five scalps.

Hansika was the only Sri Lanka batsman to pass 20.
