A moment of history unfolded at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo as Sidra Amin smashed Pakistan’s first-ever six against India in Women’s ODI cricket.
The milestone came in the 18th over, when Sidra danced down the track to Sneh Rana and lofted a clean shot over long-on that just cleared the ropes. The elegant stroke drew loud cheers from the Pakistan dugout, marking a rare moment of dominance in what has otherwise been a one-sided rivalry.
Before this, Pakistan had played 12 ODIs against India without a single six — a surprising statistic given the years of competitive fixtures between the two teams.
At the end of 18 overs, Pakistan Women were 47/3, still needing 201 runs to chase down India’s total of 247. Sidra Amin was batting on 19 off 46 balls, holding one end together, while Natalia Pervaiz was on 11 off 18 as Pakistan sought stability after early setbacks.
