ICC Women’s World Cup Qualifiers: Aliya powers Pakistan to victory over Scotland in second consecutive win

Pakistan beat Scotland by six wickets in a rain-curtailed encounter on the back of an unbeaten knock by Aliya Riaz in their second One-Day International (ODI) encounter of the ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 Qualifiers in Lahore.

The hosts were chasing 187 to win under the Duckworth-Lewis method in a match that was curtailed to 32 overs per side due to rain delaying the start of play. The hosts eventually chased it down with ease, getting 190 for 4 — with eight balls to spare, thanks to player of the match Aliya’s unbeaten 68 not out.
