Sports journalist, Zainab Abbas also tweet in this regard. While she was pleased with Sidra Ameen’s century, she addressed the issue at hand, “unable to close games”.
Another loss for the girls in green,Sidra Ameen after scoring a 100 should have taken Pak over the line with 25 required of 18 balls. Yet again the same issue of being unable to close games. #CWC2022
