National ( The cow news digital ) The Pakistan women’s cricket team concluded a disappointing tour of Sri Lanka, suffering back-to-back 1-2 series defeats in both the ODI and T20 International formats against the host nation.
Despite arriving with high hopes after a lone victory over the Netherlands in the ICC T20 World Cup, the Fatima Sana-led side dropped the three-match ODI series 1-2. The white-ball struggle continued under Muneeba Ali’s captaincy in the T20I series, which ended in an identical 1-2 defeat.
Match Breakdown and Series Tally
In the final T20I at Dambulla, Pakistan restricted Sri Lanka to 113 for 6 in 20 overs and chased down the target in 18.2 overs to win by six wickets. However, the consolation victory could not overturn the series result following back-to-back six-wicket losses in the opening two T20Is.
Earlier in Hambantota, Pakistan had opened the ODI series with a five-wicket win before surrendering the remaining two fixtures by eight-wicket margins on both occasions.
