Sidra Amin achieves major milestone during first South Africa ODI
Sidra also register highest second-wicket partnership for Pakistan alongside Muneeba
LAHORE: Top-order batter Sidra Amin added another feather to her cap as she completed 2000 runs in Women’s ODIs during the three-match home series opener against South Africa here at the Gaddafi Stadium on Tuesday.
The right-handed batter achieved the milestone when she scored her 22nd run by working Marizanne Kapp’s delivery for a single on the fourth ball of the 16th over of Pakistan’s innings.
As a result, the 33-year-old became only the third Pakistani batter to complete 2000 runs in Women’s ODIs, joining the likes of Bismah Maroof and Javeria Khan.
Notably, when this story was filed, Sidra was just nine runs shy of amassing her fifth century in the format, having scored 91 not out from 115 deliveries with the help of 11 boundaries as Pakistan were197/2 in 39 overs.

Furthermore, Sidra and Muneeba’s 147-run partnership was the second-highest partnership for the Green Shirts in the format, only behind the duo’s 221-run opening stand against Ireland in 2022.
