PAKW vs WIW Match Preview
The Pakistan Women's team showed remarkable resilience in the second ODI. Despite the formidable challenge posed by Karishma Ramharack and Chinelle Henry, who picked up three wickets each, the team fought back. The match took several unexpected turns, with the West Indies Women initially looking set for an easy win at 180 for three in 41 overs. However, the Pakistan skipper Nida Dar's four-fer turned the tide, bringing the Pakistani Women back into the match.
The match was a nail-biter, with West Indies Women slipping to 219 runs for the loss of seven wickets in 49 overs. They needed five runs from six balls, but Fatima Sana's impressive performance, conceding just two from her first five balls and picking up Afy Fletcher's wicket, added to the tension. Three runs were needed off the last ball. In a heart-stopping moment, Ramharack edged the game's previous delivery past the wicketkeeper's outstretched hands for a four, sparking a jubilant reaction in the West Indies dressing room. This win gives the Caribbean women an unassailable 2-0 lead in the ODI series.
Earlier, the Pakistan skipper won the toss and decided to bat first. Bismah Maroof and Sidra Ameen hit fifties but received little support from other batters. Pakistan still raised a decent total of 223 runs but was bowled out in 48.5 overs. West Indies bowlers conceded 30 extras, the third most significant contributor in the contest. After Pakistan Women lost the wicket of Muneeba Ali for one to Henry, Maroof, and Ameen raised 80 runs for the second wicket to propel the Pakistan innings.
Ameen got out for 50 to Fletcher, and after her dismissal, hosts could not stitch together large partnerships. Maroof recorded her 20th fifty in the ODI format in 91 balls. The score was 196 when she got out. Henry returned to polish off the Pakistan tail. Pakistan Women scored 223 runs thanks to the efforts of their wicket-keeper batter, Najiha Alvi, who scored 25 runs in 28 balls. Although West Indies Women lost the wicket of Rashada Williams early, they had an in-form top order that took them close to the target.
