In Match 6 of the 2025 ICC Women’s World Cup played in Colombo, India defeated Pakistan by successfully defending a target of 247 despite being bowled out. Pakistan could only manage 159 runs, with Sidra Amin’s valiant knock proving to be in vain.
### Pakistan Struggle From the Outset
Pakistan had a rocky start, losing three wickets for just 26 runs inside the 12th over. One major talking point was the controversial run-out of Muneeba Ali. With wickets tumbling from one end, Sidra Amin stood firm, finding some support from Natalia Pervaiz (33) and Sidra Nawaz (14). However, after the successive dismissals of Nawaz and Rameen Shamim, Pakistan faltered further, slipping to 146/7. Amin remained the lone resistance in the batting lineup.
### Amin’s Half-Century Goes in Vain
Sidra Amin’s gritty innings finally came to an end in the 40th over, when she was dismissed by Sneh Rana. Amin scored a measured 81 runs off 106 balls, hitting 9 fours and 1 six during her knock.
In her 79 WODI appearances, Amin now boasts 2,352 runs at an average of 33.12 with a strike rate of 64.06. This knock marked her 13th half-century in Women’s One Day Internationals, adding to her six centuries.
### Maiden WODI Fifty Against India
According to ESPNcricinfo, this was Amin’s first half-century against India in WODIs. It was also her second 50-plus score in the ICC Women’s ODI World Cup, where she averages 24.23. Her overall World Cup tally includes one century and two half-centuries.
Sidra Amin’s performance highlighted her resilience and skill, although Pakistan fell short against a strong Indian side in this crucial encounter.
