That's all from the 3rd T20I encounter between Pakistan Women and West Indies Women where the visitors lead the series 3-0.
For now, this is Pritam Dey signing off on behalf of co-commentators Saptak Sanyal, Gourav Samal who, along with scorer/analysts Raju Khariya brought all the actions of this clash. Stay tuned for more cricketing action from around the world.
Nida Dar (Pakistan Women Captain)- "Obviously our bowlers did well to restrict them to 132 after Hayley Matthews got the start. I think we need to take responsibility on crucial times and we didn't do that. We should learn to continue the momentum and we have to regroup."
Hayley Mathews (West Indies Women Captain and Player of the Match): "We were aiming at 140 in the first innings but Fatima and Nida, both of them bowled well to keep the batters silent to get the runs at the end. In the second innings, we were a bit sloppy in the field and gave away runs at the start of the innings, or else we could have won the game quite confidently. Yes we won the game but there are various areas to improve. We were much better with the bowling in the last ten than in the first ten overs. And when the game came down to the last five overs, with run-a-ball required, it was anyone’s game with the kind of bowling attack we have in the game. "
Player of the Match- Hayley Kristen Matthews

just 22 runs with the ball. Pakistan Women needed to get 133 runs in order to
chase it down and get their 1st victory of the series.

aggressor in the Powerplay along with Ayesha Zafar who added a 64 runs opening
partnership before Ayesha was dismissed for 19 off 22 balls. Cameos from
