WIW won by 7 wickets
11:14 PM IST, 22:44 Local Time: A comprehensive victory for West Indies Women as they win by 7 wickets and 10 balls to spare, extending their lead to 2-0 in the 5-match T-20I series.
Earlier, Pakistan won the toss and chose to bat first. Despite a slow start and losing early wickets, Muneeba Ali's solid innings of 55 runs off 47 balls helped stabilize Pakistan's innings. However, the team couldn't capitalize on her performance, ending their innings at 121/7 in 20 overs. The West Indies bowlers, particularly Hayley Matthews with figures of 3/25, led a disciplined bowling attack, restricting Pakistan's scoring opportunities. Chinelle Henry, Afy Fletcher, and Karishma Ramharack contributed a solitary wicket.
In pursuit of 121 runs, West Indies Women lost Qiana Joseph for a mere 7 runs, but skipper Hayley Matthews paired up with Shemaine Campbelle and played with authority, keeping the scoreboard ticking at a decent pace. Matthews continued her merry ways and notched up her fifty but failed to bat till the end, departing for 58 runs off 43 balls. Shortly after, Campbelle also departed after contributing 21 runs, as Pakistan claimed two wickets in rapid succession.
Chedean Nation (17*) and Chinelle Henry (8*) paired up in the middle and helped the visitors cross the winning line without any hiccups as West Indies Women won by 7 wickets and 10 balls to spare.
Sadia Iqbal, Diana Baig, and Tuba Hassan celebrated a solitary wicket for the hosts but they failed to defend 121 runs.
West Indies Women lead the series 2-0 now and would aim to clinch the series in the third match of the series, while Pakistan Women need to regroup and come back stronger in the next game to keep the series alive. Stay tuned for the presentation....

Player of the Match: Hayley Matthews
Hayley Matthews (Player of the Match & West Indies Women Captain): "I think just wanting to lead from the front and set a really good example as the captain. I want to go out there and, I guess, get to the front and help pull the girls along. And I think the better I am able to perform, the more it encourages and motivates the girls to follow suit.
I think that's it for me, really. I don't think it was necessarily too different for me. Obviously, it was pretty unlucky to get out for zero in the last game. However, I approach all my T20 innings in a similar manner – aiming to be aggressive yet responsible at the same time. I focus on picking my areas and maintaining a positive mindset in my planning process.
I think our bowling has really been clicking, which makes me happy. As for the batting department, there are always areas we can improve on. However, considering today's opportunity to chase 122 runs, and the fact that we only lost two or three wickets in the end, it definitely shows that we're doing a lot of things right."

Nida Dar (Pakistan Women Captain): "I think so from a fighting point of view. We need to look at positives especially against South Africa earlier. We need to have more intent with the bat. Definitely we are missing the finish and the middle part despite a decent start. Definitely need to get together and plan new things by watching videos. Uphill task ahead of us but we will be up for it for the next few games."
That's all from this contest, folks! West Indies Women extend their lead to 2-0 in the 5-match T-20I series with a comfortable victory tonight. Time to wrap up this coverage.
