Pakistan women beat the visiting Bangladesh women by 34 runs to win the series 2-0 at Southend Club Cricket Stadium, Karachi.
Having chosen to bat, Pakistan were struggling at 61 for 4 in 13 overs, with Bangladesh left-arm spinner Nahida Akter affecting a run-out and taking two quick wickets, including that of Marina Iqbal for 33.
Like she had done in the first game, Bishmah Maroof steadied the innings with 44 off 38 balls, and with Aliya Riaz, steered Pakistan towards the modest total of 114.
Bangladesh once again chased poorly, losing their first five wickets for 12 runs in 12 overs. Rumana Ahmed was the top scorer with 27 off 33 balls, but there was no momentum and the innings finished on 80 for 7.
