:South Africa became the second team to reach the Women's World Cup semi-finals after Thursday's group match against West Indies was abandoned due to rain, while England are still in the hunt after thrashing Pakistan by nine wickets.
A dominant England dished out a fine all-round performance to crush Pakistan by nine wickets and keep themselves in the reckoning for a place in the semifinals of the ICC Women's World Cup on Thursday. Bowling first, England bundled out Pakistan for a paltry 105 in 41.3 overs, and then, chased down the target with as many as 184 balls to spare. Opting to field after winning the toss, opening bowler Katherine Brunt (3/17) and left-arm spinner Sophie Ecclestone (3/18) led England's brilliant display with the ball at the Hagley Oval.
Impressive England swept aside Pakistan to move closer to a place in the semi-finals of the Women's World Cup.
With only pride to play for, Sidra Ameen showcased some brilliant batting skills during Pakistan's ongoing league stage fixture of the ongoing ICC Women's Cricket World Cup, at Hagley Oval in Christchurch on Thursday. Although Pakistan were bowled out by England for 105 runs in 41.3 overs, the 29-year-old batter top-scored for her side with a knock of 32 runs off 77 balls. Ameen also smashed four fours, one of which caught the eye of the tournament's official handle and led to comparisons with Sachin Tendulkar. In the second delivery of the 15th over, Ameen received a full delivery from Nat Sciver and she played a brilliant drive to direct the ball down the ground past the bowler's left, beating mid-on. ICC and the tournament's official Instagram handle posted a video of the shot and also compared it to Sachin's trademark straight drive. The video has been captioned as, "Reminds you of someone, @sachintendulkar?"
