*By Parth Dhall | October 5, 2025, 11:19 PM*
In Match 6 of the 2025 ICC Women’s World Cup held in Colombo, India triumphed over Pakistan in a gripping encounter. The Women in Blue successfully defended a target of 247 despite being bowled out, restricting Pakistan to 159. Amid the Pakistani batting collapse, Sidra Amin’s impressive knock stood out, though it ultimately went in vain.
**Pakistan Struggle From the Outset**
Pakistan endured a shaky start, losing three wickets for just 26 runs by the 12th over. A controversial run-out involving Muneeba Ali added to their troubles. With wickets tumbling from one end, Sidra Amin remained steadfast at the crease. She forged important partnerships with Natalia Pervaiz (33) and Sidra Nawaz (14), but successive dismissals of Nawaz and Rameen Shamim pushed Pakistan to 146/7, leaving Amin as the sole pillar of resistance.
**Amin’s Resilient Knock**
Sidra Amin’s valiant effort finally came to an end in the 40th over when she was dismissed by Sneh Rana. Amin scored a well-crafted 81 off 106 balls, including 9 fours and 1 six. This innings marked her 13th half-century in Women’s One Day Internationals (WODIs).
In 79 WODI matches, Amin has accumulated 2,352 runs at an average of 33.12, with a strike rate of 64.06. Besides her thirteen half-centuries, she also boasts six centuries to her name.
**Maiden WODI Fifty Against India**
According to ESPNcricinfo, this was Sidra Amin’s first half-century against India in WODI cricket. It was also her second 50-plus score in the Women’s ODI World Cup, where she currently holds an average of 24.23, including a century.
Despite Amin’s determined innings, Pakistan fell short in their chase, handing India a well-deserved victory in a crucial World Cup clash.
