On the other hand, the host women’s team amassed huge totals and created several records in ODI and T20 matches. They whitewashed their mediocre opponents in both the series quite convincingly.
Tammy Beaumont of England struck two magnificent centuries and capped the ODI series with an aggregate of 342 runs. Lauren Winfield, who also hit a century, grabbed second spot in the ODI series batting chart with 166 runs. Pakistan’s Bismah Maroof also gathered over one hundred runs (107) in the three ODI matches.
In the ODI series bowling table, top three positions were taken by England bowlers – KH Brunt (9 wickets), A Shrubsole (6) and Heather Knight (5). However, the fourth place was shared between Pakistan’s Asmavia Iqbal and LA Marsh with four wickets each.
England women won the first One-Day International by seven wickets against Pakistan at Grace Road, Leicester. Heather Knight, who replaced long-serving skipper Charlotte Edwards, had a dream first match as England’s women’s captain starring with both bat and ball in the first ODI.
Knight took 5/26 with her off-spin and then struck an unbeaten 50 as her side cantered to victory with more than 18 overs to spare. Knight’s all-round feat was the first time in women’s ODI history that any player and captain has taken five wickets and scored a fifty in the same match. It was also a day to remember for strike bowler Katherine Brunt, who became only the fourth England player to take 100 ODI wickets.
The British women took an unassailable 2-0 lead in the second One-Day International with an emphatic 212-run victory at Worcester.
British openers Lauren Winfield and Tammy Beaumont hammered maiden ODI centuries as England posted a mammoth 378-5 in 50 overs — their highest total against Pakistan.
Winfield bettered her previous best one-day score of 31 by reaching 123 off 117 balls with 15 boundaries and two sixes while Beaumont improved her 70 by contributing 104 off 116 including 10 fours and two sixes in the first-wicket stand of 235. Natalie Sciver then punished the substandard Pakistan bowling with a 33-ball innings of 80 that included seven fours and six sixes.
Pakistan, in reply, could muster only 166 all-out in 47.4 overs. Bismah Maroof offered some resistance with an 81-ball 61. Seamer Anya Shrubsole was the chief wicket-taker with figures of 4-19.
England’s team continued their overwhelming performance in the third and final ODI match at Taunton.
Tammy Beaumont became the first English woman to hit back-to-back ODI centuries as England wrapped up a 3-0 win in their series against Pakistan.
Beaumont, who was dropped on 2 and 64, made the most of her good fortune, by posting the second-highest score by an English woman in ODIs and the fourth-highest overall. In the end, England won by 202 runs with Pakistan, replying to 366 for 4, bowled out for 164, in the 45th over.
Beaumont posted her century off 111 balls, with nine fours, and reached 150 off 133 balls with a further eight boundaries. Having scored 70 and 104 in the first two matches of the series, Beaumont took her tally against Pakistan to 342 at an average of 171.00 — setting a new record for runs scored by an Englishwoman in a three-match series.
After losing the ODI series, the Pakistan women failed to bring any degree of improvement in the 3-match T20 series and suffered yet another whitewash.
England’s L. Winfield and TT Beaumont remained top scorers with 166 and 142 runs respectively in the three-match T20 rubbers. For Pakistan, Javeria Khan (60), Bismah Maroof (58) and Asmavia Iqbal (55) remained prominent scorers.
In the bowling department, England’s JL Gunn and Pakistan’s Nida Dar shared the top position with five wickets each.
The hosts set more records as they hammered Pakistan by 68 runs in the first Twenty20 in Bristol.
After posting their highest one-day total in a 3-0 series win, England racked up a T20 best 187-5.
Opening pair Tammy Beaumont, who made a 53-ball 82, and Lauren Winfield, with 74 from 45 balls, added 147, the fourth highest women's T20 stand of all time.
Pakistan were never in the hunt, ending on 119-7, with Dani Hazell, Jenny Gunn and Nat Sciver each taking two wickets.
The second game of three T20s was played at Southampton. Fran Wilson top-scored in her first international appearance in more than five years, while Amy Jones once again exhibited her qualities as Sarah Taylor's replacement behind the stumps. England completed a comfortable 35-run victory in the second T20 at the Ageas Bowl in Southampton.
In the end, England's depth proved the difference, as Pakistan's middle and lower-order faded after a spirited start to their pursuit of 139. They lost their last four wickets for 19 runs in 36 balls, with Jenny Gunn returned with impressive bowling figures of 2 for 7 in four overs.
The result of third T20 was also not different from the previous matches. England posted 170 runs for the loss of five wickets. Winfield and Beaumont hammered 63 and 55 runs, respectively, for the winning side. In reply, the Pakistan team could manage only 113 runs for the loss of seven wickets.
