After Knight’s 88, West Indies Women collapse from 171-2 to 210 all together
Pakistani women 211 for 6 (Sohail 61, Selman 2-34, Matthews 2-46) defeated West Indies Women 210 (Knight 88, Taylor 49, Sana 4-30, Sandhu 4-49) by four wickets
Taylor’s sacking in the 40th sparked a collapse as the West Indies went down 171-2 only to be eliminated for 210 in 49.4 overs. Sana was the choice of Pakistani bowlers, winning 4 for 30 – including two young girls – in her eight overs. Left arm spinner Sandhu took 4 for 49 on 9.4 overs.
Despite the loss of top notch hitters Muneeba Ali and captain Javeria Khan at the start of the chase, Sidra Ameen and Sohail made sure Pakistan crossed the finish line. Shakira Selman and Mathews picked up two wickets each for the West Indies. However, this was not enough to threaten visitors.
“I think we missed around 15 to 20 points,” said Anisa Mohammed, West Indies Women’s vice-captain. Average CWI after the loss.
“At the start of the series we kept saying we wanted to score over 225 points which would give them a bit of competition, and we just didn’t do it today. The pitch was a bit wet at the start so our hitters struggled to score but having Kyshona batting really well and seeing us through, I think in the middle to the end we lost too many wickets at crucial times. As bowlers we weren’t as consistent as we should have been.
