There were five run-outs during Pakistan’s chase, before rain gave the home side a win by the DLS method
West Indies Women 125 for 6 (Knight 30*, Nation 28, Sana 2-18, Amin 2-31) beat Pakistan Women 103 for 6 in 18 overs (Dar 29, Mathews 1-13) by 7 runs (DLS method)
West Indies Women successfully defended 125 in a rain-affected second T20I against Pakistan Women and sealed the three-match T20I series in North Sound on Friday. The hosts won the match via the DLS method, with Pakistan Women seven runs short of the par score of 110 when rain washed the game out with two overs remaining. In a low-scoring game, Pakistan endured five run outs, with Nida Dar top-scoring with 28.
Knight and Nation stitched a 32-run stand from 26 balls for the fifth wicket, both batters hitting two fours and a six apiece. For Pakistan, Anam Amin and Fatima Sana picked up two wickets each, with the latter conceding just 18 runs from her four overs and also bowling a maiden.
Dar and Sidra Nawaz’s partnership of 42 for the fourth wicket helped stabilise the innings, but it wasn’t enough as rain interruptions threatened an early finish. Nawaz’s dismissal for a 25-ball 17 sparked a mini-collapse, with Pakistan losing three wickets for 11 runs. Aliya Riaz (17* off 15) and Sana (8* off 6) showed intent at the end, but the rain came down just after the pair had taken 15 runs off Anisa Mohammed’s 18th over, denying the game a potentially thrilling finish.
