West Indies continued their strong performance in the Women’s Tri-Series in Ireland by securing a 25-run victory over Pakistan. This win marked their second consecutive victory in the series. After triumphing over the host team earlier, West Indies displayed a solid all-round performance, excelling in both batting and bowling.
In the match, West Indies’ batting lineup showcased its depth and strength. Captain Hayley Matthews set the tone with a quickfire 40 runs off just 20 balls, providing a strong start. Following Matthews’ aggressive innings, Stafanie Taylor and others contributed effectively, propelling West Indies to a competitive total of 199-6.
Pakistan faced early setbacks in their chase, losing three wickets within the first four overs. Despite some resistance from players like Saira Jabeen, Pakistan struggled to build substantial partnerships. Aliya Riaz and Fatima Sana played aggressive innings but fell short as West Indies’ bowlers, led by Chinelle Henry and Shawnisha Hector, contained Pakistan’s response effectively.
In the end, West Indies successfully defended their total, restricting Pakistan to 174/8 in 20 overs and securing a comfortable 25-run victory in the Women’s Tri-Series encounter.
