PAK A vs WI A: In the third and final game of the one-day series, West Indies A defeated Pakistan A by three wickets at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore after lowering their goal to 163 in 44.5 overs.
Rameen Shamim, the captain of Pakistan A, bowled a fantastic stint, taking four wickets and conceding just 13 runs in her ten overs. However, her valiant effort was in vain, as Djenaba Joseph’s undefeated fifty-one helped the visitors over the finish line in the pivotal match in the PAK A vs WI A match.
With Shunelle Sawh and Shabika Gajnabi sharing the first wicket and scoring 53 runs, West Indies A started their chase unfazed and surpassed the 100-run mark with the loss of just two batters. They fell from 104-2 to 106-6 as a result of a Rameen-induced collapse that saw Zaida James, Trishan Holder, and Sheneta Grimmond all out for ducks.
With 31 balls remaining, Djenaba Joseph’s squad managed to get the innings under control and reach home. The other wicket-takers for Pakistan were Anosha Nasir (1-32) and Saima Malik (2-36), in addition to Rameen in the PAK A vs WI A match.
Before faltering to a score of 63-6 in the PAK A vs WI A match, Pakistan A had made a solid start thanks to a 49-run opening partnership between Shawaal Zulfiqar and Eyman Fatima. Pakistan reached 162 all out in 44.4 overs thanks to valuable contributions from Humna Bilal (21 not out, 53b, 3x4s), Anosha Nasir (23, 56b, 1×4), and Sidra Nawaz (27, 37b, 2x4s) later down the order.
With stats of 4-19, Jahzara Claxton was the touring team’s best bowler and was named player of the match. After scoring 111 runs in the three games, Rashada Williams, the captain of the West Indies Women A, was named player of the series in the PAK A vs WI A match.
