Pakistan women will take on England women in a three-match ODI series, commencing tomorrow at the County Ground in Derby.
The second ODI will be played in Taunton on 26 May, followed by the third ODI in Chelmsford on 29 May.
The series, which is part of the ICC Women’s Championship 2022-25, will be Pakistan’s eighth and final series in the cycle.
Pakistan are currently positioned on fifth spot with 16 points in the 10-team Women’s Championship.
The top five teams from this championship, along with hosts India, will directly qualify for the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025.
Earlier on the tour, both sides had featured in three T20Is, which were won by the hosts 3-0.
Opening batter Sidra Amin, who has 948 runs at an average of 52.66 in the ICC Championship 2022-25), stated that despite a dismal 3-0 defeat in the recently concluded T20I series, Pakistan women are determined to put on a good performance in the ODI series against England.
“Despite the recent T20I series not going our way, we are fully focused and eager to put on a good performance in the upcoming ODIs against England.
“We believe in our capabilities and are focused on executing our plans well in the upcoming ODI series. The team spirit is high, and we are determined to end the ICC Women’s Championship matches on a positive note.”
