Pakistan have broken an eight-year drought in style with an emphatic seven-wicket victory over South Africa in Karachi on Sunday.

Opener Sidra Ameen contributed a classy 61 at the top of the order as Pakistan successfully chased down South Africa's total of 150/3 with five balls remaining.

It was the second match in a row that Pakistan has chased a victory target in excess of 150 and this time it meant the Asian side opened up an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-game T20I series.

It is just the second occasion that Pakistan's women's team have defeated South Africa in a bilateral T20I series and the first time they have managed the feat since March 2015.
