Pakistan women's cricket team clinched a first series clean sweep against South Africa in Karachi. According to ICC, the Asian side completed the feat with yet another impressive performance as they registered a six-run triumph in the third and final match of their three-game T20I series against the Proteas.

It meant Pakistan won all three games for the first time against South Africa, finishing with a 3-0 series scoreline in what was new captain Nida Dar's first series in charge.

Nida Dar led from the front with a well-compiled 36 during the middle overs as the skipper combined well with Sidra Ameen (39) and former captain Bismah Maroof (39) to help Pakistan post 150/5 after they were sent in to bat first by South Africa captain Laura Wolvaardt.

Wolvaardt paced the Proteas' run chase with a superb 72, but she fell to Sadia Iqbal in the penultimate over leaving South Africa agonisingly short of chasing down the victory total.
