In a dominant display, Hayley Matthews once again showcased her prowess with the bat, notching up her second century of the series to propel West Indies to a comprehensive victory over Pakistan in the third ODI. With her blazing 141-run knock, Matthews spearheaded her team to a commanding total of 278 runs, leaving Pakistan struggling in their pursuit.
Despite a spirited effort from Pakistan’s bowlers, including a commendable performance from Nashra Sandhu who claimed three wickets, they failed to contain Matthews’ onslaught. Partnering with former captain Stafanie Taylor, Matthews forged a crucial 101-run partnership, firmly establishing West Indies’ dominance.
In response, Pakistan faltered, with their top order crumbling under the pressure imposed by West Indies’ bowlers. Despite scattered contributions from their batsmen, notably Muneeba Ali’s 38, Pakistan failed to mount a substantial challenge, eventually succumbing to a disappointing total of 190 runs.
