The Pakistan national women cricket team on Monday made history by securing their first ever One-Day International (ODI) series win against the West Indies.
Diana Baig and Nashra Sandhu bagged 3-wickets each to lead Pakistan to the first-ever series win against the Windies. The visitors were bowled out for 159, while Pakistan chased the total down in 47.2 overs and with 4 wickets in hand.
Coming into the final match of the series, both teams were tied at 1-1. The Windies had won the first match of the series quite comfortably as Pakistan were bowled out for 70 chasing 216.
The green shirts bounced back in the second game of the series. Pakistan scored 240 batting first and restricted West Indies to 206, winning the match by 23 runs. Half centuries from Nida Dar and Sidra Ameen helped pile up a good total before Diana Baig, Sana Mir and Nashra Sandhu showed their talent with the ball.
