Ireland: Pakistan women cricket team have beaten Ireland women by 89 runs in second One Day International (ODI) at YMCA Cricket Club, Dublin ON Friday, ARY News reported.
Pakistan after winning the toss elected to bat with a similar trajectory in their innings. Javeria Khan and Nain Abidi built a solid platform for Pakistan with a 94 runs partnership, to attack in the last 10 overs.
Abidi played an aggressive inning of 69-ball 50 runs, while Javeria scored 81 off 105 balls with eight fours.
In-form batsman Bismah Maroof hit a few attacking shots and looked good to take Pakistan to a big score.
However, the side managed to lose their last five wickets in the last three overs and ended the inning on 248 runs.
Left-arm spinner Sadia Yousuf's five-wicket haul demolished Ireland Women's chase and helped Pakistan Women complete to take the one-day series 2-0.
Ireland openers once again failed to provide a good start to their team, and after an early loss but an 84-run partnership between opener Clare Shillington and Cecelia Joyce kept the innings going.
Yousuf’s two main wickets of Shillington and Joyce disturbed the momentum of Ireland’s chase.
Having dismissed three of Ireland's top-order batsmen, the left-arm spinner came back to clean up the tail and the Irish innings folded for 159, 89 runs short of the target.
Pakistan women have completed a successful tour, with a victory against England women in a T20, first time in the history and clean sweep Ireland in T20 and ODI series.
Green shirts will now play Women's T20 World Cup qualifiers against Thailand, Zimbabwe and Netherlands, which will be played on July 23, 25 and 27.
