Women Cricket
India whitewash Pakistan
Afp, Lahore
India's juniors beat Pakistan by 99 runs in the fourth one-day match here on Sunday, whitewashing their hosts 4-0 in the first-ever women's cricket series between the two countries. India's under-21 team proved superior yet again as they compiled 215-4 in their 40 overs with half-centuries from Thirush Kamini and captain Karuna Jain in the final match at the Gaddafi Stadium. They then wrapped up the match by restricting Pakistan to 116-9 in their allotted 40 overs. Jain, who was declared player of the series for her magnificent batting, stroked a masterful 59 while Kamini topscored with a punishing 63. For the hosts, Sana Mir chipped in with 2-15. Pakistan were never in the hunt for the target, losing wickets at regular intervals and falling 99 runs short. India won the earlier three matches in Lahore by margins of 30 and 33 runs and by eight wickets respectively.
