LEEDS: England women defeated their Pakistan counterparts by 34 runs in the third T20 International, winning the series by 3-0 here at Leeds on Sunday.

Chasing a target of 177 runs, Pakistan could only score 142/4 in the allotted 20 overs. Pakistan made a steady start with Gul Feroza and Sidra Amin scoring 30 off 29 balls and 26 off 29 balls respectively. However, their progress was disrupted when Amin was dismissed by Sophie Ecclestone, followed by Feroza's dismissal by Charlie Dean in the next over. As Pakistan's batting order crumbled, Nida Dar and Aliya Riaz attempted to stabilise the innings but to no avail. Riaz scored 35 off 27 balls while Dar made 29 runs off 24 balls. England's bowlers shared the wickets, with Dean, Ecclestone, Lauren Filer, and Danielle Gibson each taking one. England, batting first, set a total of 176, losing 10 wickets in the process.

The standout performance came from Danni Wyatt, who scored 87 runs off 48 balls, hitting 14 fours and a six. For Pakistan, skipper Nida Dar and pacer Diana Baig each claimed three wickets, while Fatima Sana took one. Both teams will now prepare for the ODI series, which begins on May 23.
