Unlike the first two matches, Pakistan’s openers provided a solid start to the chase, adding 60 runs in 9 overs. That was when Sidra Ameen fell for her 29-ball 26.
Pakistan lost the plot and lost the next three wickets for just 13 runs. Gul Feroze (30), Sadaf Shamas (6), and Muneeba Ali (3) returned to the pavilion within the span of 10 balls.
Skipper Nida Dar (29*), and Aliya Riaz (35*) helped rebuild the innings but lost the momentum in the process.
Pakistan did not lose any more wickets but fell 34 runs short of the 177-run target, finishing 142/4 in given 20 overs. This was Pakistan’s highest innings total in England this series. They had been bundled out for 110 and 79 in the first two games.
