Dominant Performance by Hayley Matthews
In a one-sided affair at Karachi, Hayley Matthews once again proved to be the difference between the two sides. Opting to bat first after winning the toss, Matthews led from the front, scoring her second consecutive century of the series. Her knock of 141 powered West Indies to a formidable total of 278.
All-Round Performance
Not only did Matthews excel with the bat, but she also made significant contributions with the ball. She picked up 2 wickets for just 26 runs in her 8 overs, further denting Pakistan’s chances.
Pakistan’s Struggle
In response to West Indies’ imposing total, Pakistan’s batting line-up failed to make an impact. With only Muneeba Ali managing to put up some resistance with her 38 runs, Pakistan was bowled out for just 190 runs.
Clinical Bowling by West Indies
West Indies bowlers, led by Shamilia Conell, Chinelle Henry, and Aaliyah Alleyne, were exceptional as they dismantled Pakistan’s batting order. They never allowed Pakistan to settle, picking up wickets at regular intervals.
Series Outlook
With this victory, West Indies completed a clean sweep over Pakistan in the ODI series. The focus now shifts to the upcoming five-match T20I series between the two teams, which will also be held in Karachi.
West Indies 278 for 6 (Matthews 141, Sandhu 3-54) beat Pakistan 190 all out (Muneeba 38, Alleyne 2-10, Matthews 2-26) by 88 runs
