England defeated Pakistan in the second One-Day International against Pakistan by 212 runs at Worcester the other day.
After Pakistan opted to bowl first at the County Ground, openers Lauren Winfield and Tammy Beaumont both hit maiden ODI centuries as England posted a mammoth 378-5 in 50 overs — their highest total against Pakistan.

Winfield bettered her previous best one-day score of 31 by reaching 123 off 117 balls with 15 boundaries and two sixes, while Beaumont improved her 70 in Tuesday’s series opener by contributing 104 off 116 (10 fours and two sixes) in the first-wicket stand of 235.

Natalie Sciver then punished the bowling with a 33-ball innings of 80 that included seven fours and six sixes.

Pakistan, in reply, mustered 166 all out in 47.4 overs. Bismah Maroof offered some resistance with an 81-ball 61 (eight boundaries). Seamer Anya Shrubsole was the chief wicket-taker with figures of 4-19.

England have won both ODIs and are looking to whitewash Pakistan by winning the third and final ODI.

The final ODI will be played on Monday at Taunton.
