PAKW vs WIW Match Preview

The West Indies skipper won the toss in the first T20I of the series and elected to bat first. The West Indies Women struggled to 122 runs, losing nine wickets in their twenty overs. Pakistan Women made a valiant effort to chase this target but could manage just 121 runs from their twenty overs, losing eight wickets. Karishma Ramharack, with her exceptional bowling, was adjudged Player of the Match for this contest. She picked up four wickets for fifteen runs from her quota of four overs, a performance that significantly impacted the game.

After losing the early wicket of their skipper Hayley Matthews, the West Indies innings was somewhat supported by Qiana Joseph and Stefanie Taylor, who scored 34 and 30 runs, respectively, to recover the West Indies' progress to an extent. With their strategic approach, the West Indies Women's team managed to raise a modest 122 runs in their twenty overs. West Indian Women did a fine restriction job, though, with Ramharack and other bowlers such as Qiana Joseph, Hayley Matthews, and Afy Fletcher picking up crucial wickets.

During the West Indies innings, Pakistan Women did an excellent restriction job, picking up three wickets from her four overs for just 24 runs. She was among the four bowlers used by Pakistani women. All these bowlers were among the wickets and were responsible for developing a winning performance. But this effort was to be in vain as West Indies Women prevented the Pakistani batters from reaching this target. Sadia Iqbal also picked up two wickets for 23 runs from her four overs. 

The Pakistani top order made a game start to the innings with their top three batters, Gull Feroza, Sidra Ameen, and Muneeba Ali, making significant starts to their batting efforts. But none of them could go on to make a big score, and the batting charge remained short of the target by one run. The Pakistan skipper Nida Dar also contributed 27 runs from 24 balls. But after losing this wicket, the lower Pakistani order could not accelerate enough for a victory. This agonizing loss would have damaged the Pakistan Women's prospects.

After a close game on Friday, another hard-fought match is expected on Sunday. Both these teams will look to provide a strong batting display in this contest. The bowling units from both teams were in good nick in the first game. Hayley Matthews will also be keen to make a mark on the T20I series.
