That’s all from our today’s coverage. This is Gourav Samal, signing off on behalf of my co-commentators Saptak Sanyal and Pritam Dey, along with scorer/analyst Zeeshan Naiyer. Stay tuned to us for all the cricketing actions around the world. Thank You. Good Night.
Hayley Matthews (West Indies Women Captain) : Yeah 100% we felt at the half way stage that we were 15-20 runs short but we knew the pressure we were able to put on Pakistan in the ODI Series, if we bowl really well today we have a chance to do the same tonight as well. The game was drifting away from us but after the 10th Over the way the girls fought back into the game was incredible. I told the bowlers to stay really disciplined and we have a chance to make a comeback in the game. Pakistan batters do like pace on the ball so after the first couple of overs, I just wanted spinners to be operated from both the ends. Karishma Ramharack over proved to be the turning point and I am very happy that we got over the line in this game."
Nida Dar (Pakistan Women Captain): “It wasn’t the best result for us but if we look at the positive side of the match, we bowled very well and took some good catches. We also started very well with the bat but lost some quick wickets in the middle that affected the run chase. Bowlers took the responsibility and delivery well by picking up regular wickets. In the coming games, we will look to take more responsibility as a batting unit.”
Karishma Ramharack (Player of the Match)- "We have a good bowling line-up and we were confident to defend the low total. We had a good start in the powerplay. I didn't plan much in my bowling spell. I just tried to hit the right areas and that paid off."

What a dramatic end to the match. Wicket of the very last of the innings. West Indies Women have managed to win the match by just 1 run. They lead the 5 match series 1-0.
WHOAAAAA!!!!! Connell keeps her nerves cool and bowls it in the right area and gets the reward. She forces Alvi to miss and Campbelle throws it perfectly at the stumps of the striker's end to run Tuba Hassan out. Agony for Pakistan and West Indies are certainly in the seventh heaven after winning the thriller!
19.6 S Connell to N Alvi
W GONEEE!! West Indies win by 1 run. Back of a length way outside the off stump, Najiha just had to get some bat on it to run it down towards third-man for a boundary, she failed to connect and the keeper does a wonderful job by running out the non-striker who was trying to sneak a quick single to tie the game.
This is turning out to be more interesting. Two needed of the last ball. One for a Super Over.
Najiha Alvi!!!! What a time to get the boundary!!! She lofts it over extra cover and gets the boundary.
19.5 S Connell to N Alvi
4 FOURRR!! Thats the boundary Najiha and Pakistan needed. Fuller delivery around off stump, Najiha hits it over the mid-off fielder for a boundary. The extra cover fielder chases way towards the fence but the ball beats her. Is that a turning point of the match? Just 2 needed from the final ball!
Bowler gets down and extends her right hand but fails to get hold of the catch. Single taken.
19.4 S Connell to T Hassan
1 Fuller delivery outside off stump, Tuba hits it towards mid-off for a single.
Two runs more. Mid-on fielder runs backwards and stops the boundary. 7 is the ask from 3 balls, 6 for a super over!
