West Indies Women secured an insurmountable 2-0 lead over Pakistan following a 7-runs DLS method win over Pakistan Women in the three-match T20I series in North Sound on Friday.
Electing to bat first the Windies Women complied just 125 with the DLS further reducing the target to 110. Pakistan were 103 for 6 when the rain stopped the match.
The West Indies effort was built on the backbone of Chedean Nation and Kycia Knight, who put together a 32-run stand from 26 balls for the fifth wicket. The batsmen were 28 and 30 not out respectively, after forming the partnership at 69 for 4 in the 14th over.
In pursuit, Pakistan got off to a tough start after the top three were sent back to the pavilion with just 25 runs on the board. Pakistan had five run-outs, with Nida Dar top-scoring with 28. West Indies Women coach Courtney Walsh admits he is hoping for a clean sweep.
“I don’t expect any complacency to set in. Winning is a habit to have and I want us to go out and focus on us winning the series comprehensively,” Walsh said, following the match.
