Pakistan’s Sidra Ameen completed a stunning catch when Pakistan met the UAE in Match 9 of the Women’s Asia Cup 2024 at Rangiri Dambulla International Stadium, Dambulla. After losing their first game against India, the Women in Green returned to winning ways after defeating Nepal by nine wickets.
With Pakistan needing another win to seal a spot in the next stage, Nida Dar’s team put forth a brilliant bowling effort to restrict UAE to 103-8 in 20 overs. But the highlight of this Pakistani fielding effort was courtesy of Sidra Ameen.

This moment of brilliance took place in the ninth over when Rinitha Rajith, batting on 6 off 8 balls, tried to take on Nashra Sandhu. However, with a mistimed shot, the ball lacked enough power to take over the finish line. Here, Ameen, placed at long-on, sprinted to her right to grab an incredible catch.
In the second innings, Pakistan had a cakewalk as the openers Gull Feroza and Muneeba Ali posted a 104-run stand to register a 10-wicket win. Feroza top-scored with a crucial knock of 62 runs in 55 balls which included eight boundaries. Supporting Feroza, Ali hit 37 in 30 balls with four fours to ensure a massive victory for Pakistan.
