Pakistan Women claimed a four-wicket win in the third T20 International against Sri Lanka on Tuesday, preventing a series sweep after losing the first two matches.
Pakistan Women concluded their Sri Lanka tour with a victory in the third and final T20 International at the Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium, denying the hosts a complete series whitewash. Choosing to bat second, Pakistan successfully pursued Sri Lanka's total with 10 balls remaining in their 18.2-over chase.
Sri Lanka Women posted 113 for six wickets across their full allocation of 20 overs after being invited to bat first. Pakistan's bowlers effectively restricted the hosts' scoring after Sri Lanka had made an encouraging start to their innings. The visitors then navigated their chase methodically, reaching 115 for six wickets to secure the win.
The victory proved only a minor bright spot for Pakistan on the tour, as Sri Lanka had already clinched the three-match T20 series by winning the opening two encounters. The hosts also dominated the preceding ODI series, claiming that contest 2-1. Despite the series loss, Pakistan's bowling and batting performances in the final match provided some momentum heading into the conclusion of their white-ball tour.
