In Match 6 of the 2025 ICC Women’s World Cup held in Colombo, India emerged victorious over Pakistan by successfully defending a total of 247 runs despite being bowled out. The Women in Blue restricted Pakistan to 159, handing them a comprehensive win. However, Pakistan’s Sidra Amin played a valiant innings, scoring a lone 81-run effort that went in vain.
**Pakistan Struggle from the Outset**
Pakistan’s innings had a rocky start, losing three early wickets for just 26 runs by the 12th over. A major talking point was the controversial run-out of Muneeba Ali, which put Pakistan on the back foot. As wickets kept tumbling from one end, Sidra Amin stood firm and tried to anchor the innings.
Amin managed to forge some useful partnerships with Natalia Pervaiz, who scored 33, and Sidra Nawaz, who added 14. However, after the successive dismissals of Nawaz and Rameen Shamim, Pakistan’s hope dwindled as they slumped to 146/7. Throughout this struggle, Amin remained Pakistan’s only real batting threat.
**Amin’s Half-Century Comes in Vain**
Sidra Amin’s determined innings concluded in the 40th over when she was dismissed by Sneh Rana. Amin scored a gritty 81 runs off 106 balls, including 9 fours and 1 six. This hard-fought knock marked her 13th half-century in Women’s One Day Internationals (WODIs).
Across 79 WODIs, Amin has accumulated 2,352 runs at an average of 33.12, with a strike rate of 64.06. Along with her 13 fifties, she has also scored six centuries, underscoring her importance to Pakistan’s batting lineup.
**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 Women’s ODI World Cup. Her overall tournament average currently stands at 24.23, including one century.
Sidra Amin’s performance, though not enough to lead Pakistan to victory, once again highlighted her class and resilience in international cricket. Her contributions remain vital as Pakistan looks to build competitive totals in the ongoing World Cup.
