Women’s ODI WC Qualifiers: Pakistan And Scotland Claim Victories On Opening Day
Lahore City Cricket Association Ground: Hosts Pakistan began the 2025 Women’s ODI World Cup qualifiers campaign with a 38-run win over Ireland on Wednesday, while Scotland pulled off a famous 11-run win over a more fancied West Indies, despite skipper Hayley Matthews’ fighting century.
At the Gaddafi Stadium, Muneeba Ali (32) and Sidra Amin put together a decent 77-run partnership, before the latter was dismissed for 51 off 112 balls. Aliya Riaz top-scored by bringing up her half-century in 54 balls, as her 52 added impetus to the hosts’ innings.
But her dismissal saw Ireland starting a great fightback as Pakistan lost their final five wickets for 23 and were dismissed for 217 in 49 overs, with Jane Maguire picking up 3-33. Gaby Lewis and Amy Hunter led the chase for Ireland, both compiling 44 runs as they shared a second-wicket partnership of 69.
