MULTAN: Muneeba Ali and Sidra Amin’s steady knocks, supported by captain Fatima Sana’s cameo lifted Pakistan to 153-5 against South Africa in the third Women’s T20I of the three-match series here on Friday.
South Africa invited Pakistan to bat first, however, the decision backfired as Muneeba Ali and Gull Feroza put together a 50-run opening stand.

Sidra Amin then added 33 runs for the third wicket with former captain Nida Dar, who scored 12 off seven.
