Captain Hayley Matthews played an unbeaten and cautious innings of 140 runs off 150 balls, guiding the West Indies Women to a total of 269-8 against Pakistan Women in the first ODI in Karachi on Thursday.
Choosing to bat first, the visitors suffered an early setback, losing their first wicket for just 1 run, with Rashada Williams dismissed by Sadia Iqbal after scoring just 1 run off 7 balls.
However, a solid partnership between Hayley Matthews and Shemaine Campbelle bolstered the West Indian innings.
Hayley struck 15 boundaries and one six in her outstanding innings.
Shemaine contributed with a 45-run knock off 71 balls, including four boundaries, before being dismissed by Tuba Hassan.
Sadia Iqbal (2-38) and Tuba Hassan (2-48) claimed two wickets each for the Pakistan women’s team.
Nida Dar (1-43) and Nashra Sandhu (1-51) also chipped in with a wicket each.
