Tue, Oct 20, '15

GROS ISLET, St Lucia (CMC) -- An unbroken 44-run partnership between Kyshona Knight and Anisa Mohammed pulled West Indies Women out of trouble and lifted them to an exciting three-wicket victory over Pakistan Women in the second One Day International here late Sunday night.

Chasing a modest target of 150 at the Beausejour Cricket Stadium, West Indies Women slumped to 106 for seven in the 34th over, with all of their front-line batsmen already dismissed.

However, Knight struck a bold 28 not out and Player-of-the-Match Anisa Mohammed an unbeaten 19, to defy pressure and a confident Pakistan Women attack, to see the Caribbean side over the line with 19 deliveries remaining.

Under pressure, Knight dug deep, facing 65 deliveries and striking a four and a six, while Mohammed occupied the crease for 42 balls and counted two fours to offer great support.
