KARACHI: Inspired by another Tammy Beaumont century, England women condemned their Pakistan counterparts to a third straight defeat to complete 3-0 whitewash of the One-day International series on Monday.
Having already sealed the rubber with equally emphatic victories in the first two one-dayers, England put up another ruthless performance in Taunton.
The 25-year-old Beaumont followed up her maiden ODI century (104) at Worcester five days ago by hitting up an unbeaten 168 from 144 balls as the hosts amassed 366-4 after skipper Heather Knight opted to bat first at the toss.
Lauren Winfield dominated the first-wicket partnership of 59 with Beaumont by making 43 before Georgia Elwiss arrived to blast a 78-ball 77 while putting on 166 for the second wicket.
Pakistan suffered more punishment as Beaumont and Natalie Sciver (48) added 119 in just nine overs for the third wicket.
Pakistan’s response to the improbable target ended without a fight as seamer Katherine Brunt took 5-30 and Laurie Marsh 3-29. Wicket-keeper Sidra Nawaz top scored with 47.
Summarised scores
England: 366-4 in 50 overs (T.T. Beaumont 168 not out, G.A. Elwiss 77, N.R. Sciver 48, L. Winfield 43; Sana Mir 2-69)
