In a high-stakes encounter during Match 6 of the 2025 ICC Women’s World Cup in Colombo, India emerged victorious over Pakistan. Defending a total of 247 runs, the Women in Blue managed to dismiss Pakistan for 159, securing a commanding win. However, Pakistan’s Sidra Amin delivered a standout performance, scoring an impactful half-century that unfortunately went in vain.
**Pakistan Struggle from the Outset**
Pakistan’s innings got off to a shaky start, losing three early wickets for just 26 runs by the 12th over. The dismissal of Muneeba Ali via a controversial run-out became a talking point in the match. Amidst the collapse, Sidra Amin stood firm, anchoring the innings while trying to stabilize the middle order. She found some support from Natalia Pervaiz (33) and Sidra Nawaz (14), but successive wickets saw Pakistan slip to 146 for 7, putting the team under intense pressure.
**Amin’s Fighting Knock**
Sidra Amin’s resilient innings finally came to an end in the 40th over when she was dismissed by India’s Sneh Rana. Amin scored a well-crafted 81 runs off 106 balls, featuring 9 fours and 1 six. Despite her valiant effort, no other batter could provide substantial support, resulting in Pakistan falling well short of the target.
**Key Stats and Milestones**
