Match Details
The Pakistan Women batters failed to capitalise on the advantage and crumbled against a resolute effort by Windies in the field. Omaima Sohail and Javeria Khan were the shining lights in an otherwise dismal performance. Javeria Khan’s run-out turned out to be the game changing moment. Windies then piled the pressure on the inexperienced Pakistani batting line-up to seal the victory. Hayley Matthews was the standout bowler for them, claiming 4 wickets.
Earlier, in the first innings, Pakistan bowled all but 8 overs of spin bowling and restricted Windies Women to a rather below-par 153. Anam Amin, Nashra Sandhu, Omaima Sohail kept things quiet for the visitors after Fatima Sana’s two strikes at the top. Four of the Windies batters laboured their way to 20s, which proved to be crucial contributions in the end. Windies eventually failed to last their full quota of overs, handing Pakistan the advantage at the halfway stage.
Windies Women take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series. They have defended a low total successfully, and in some style winning the match by 37 runs. Chasing 153, Pakistan Women lose 5 for 5 to be dismissed for 116 and bring a pre-mature end to their challenge
