The West Indies women’s cricket team completed a clean sweep win in the three-match ODI series against Pakistan in Karachi on Sunday, 14 November.
Chasing 226, the Caribbean team rode on an unbeaten century from Stafanie Taylor, a 58-ball 49 from Hayley Matthews and 51* from Chedean Nation to go over the line by 6 wickets and in 44 overs.
The West Indies side lost three early wickets and were reduced to 15/3 when Taylor and Mathews joined hands and steadied the ship for the team with a 83-run stand for the fourth wicket. But the partnership was eventually broken after Mathews departed for 49 off 58.
Taylor was then joined by Nation in the middle and the two batters made sure that there were no further fall of wickets as they put 128 runs for the fifth wicket and anchored the side to a win.
While Taylor completed a hundred, Nation notched up a half-century.
Earlier in the day, the hosts got a good start to the proceedings as they put 123/2 on the score sheet but Muneeba Ali’s wicket broke the shackles and the home side lost wickets at regular intervals.
Ali scored 58 off 88. While Pakistan lost wickets regularly, it was Aliya Riaz who showed some resistance and struck 44* off 57 to help the side put 225/7 in 50 overs. Selman and Aaliyah Alleyne picked up a couple of wickets for West Indies.
Pakistan had already lost the first two ODIs of the series.
