Match Details
Pakistan were in a spot of bother there with 20 overs to go. Najiha Alvi
batted throughout the Innings with the tail by scoring 25 off 28 balls and
somehow managed to get Pakistan to a fighting total 223 though been bundled out
with 7 balls to spare. Chinelle Henry (3.37) and Karishma Ramharack (3/48) were
the pick of the bowlers for West Indies.
In reply, West Indies started the chase watchfully while Pakistan needed an
early wicket especially of the West Indian Captain. They created an early
chance as they found the outside edge of Hayley Matthews but she was dropped at
first slip when she was at 4. Pakistan paid the price of the costly drop catch
of Hayley Matthews who ended up adding 40 more runs with her bat. The
Partnership of Shemaine Campbelle (52 off 73 balls) and Stafanie Taylor (73 off
90 balls) who added 88 runs together got them to a very comfortable position in
the run chase. The Partnership was broken by Umme Hani as she dismissed Shemaine
Campbelle and the door of a fightback opened for Pakistan. West Indies suddenly
were struggling in the middle by playing a lot of dot balls and Pakistan were
coming right back into the game as they were picking wickets in regular
intervals.
26 runs were needed off the last 5 overs with 5 wickets in hand for West
Indies. The game went right down to the wire in the final ball. What a remarkable
victory for West Indies but Pakistan made a great comeback into the game but
lost it in the final ball of the match.
