West Indies Women team won the three-match T20I series against Pakistan when they beat the visitors by seven runs on the DLS method.
Rain had stopped the play upon the completion of the 18th over, with Pakistan on 103 for six in their pursuit of 126. The highlight of the Pakistani innings was five run-outs during the chase.
A 42-run partnership between Nida Dar (29 off 36) and Sidra Nawaz (17 off 25) rescued Pakistan from 25 for three. Aliya Riaz and Fatima Sana were not out on 17 and eight. The Pakistan innings had to be paused in the fourth over when West Indies player Chinelle Henry collapsed while fielding at mid-off. Later, Chedean Nation also fell ill and both were rushed to a nearby hospital.
Earlier, a brilliant display of tight line and length bowling had restricted West Indies to 125 for six after Stafaine Taylor opted to bat after winning the toss. The West Indies openers gathered 34 runs upfront from four overs and looked on course to put a strong partnership until Pakistan captain Javeria Khan introduced 19-year-old Fatima Sana into the attack. —agencies
