Taylor, Mohammed Script Narrow Win For West Indies Women
A small crowd turned up to watch West Indies Women take on Pakistan Women in an ICC Women's World Twenty20 2016 contest at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai on Wednesday (March 16), but they cheered Sana Mir's side on, backing them all the way even as Pakistan went down by four runs in a thrilling contest.
Asked to bat first, West Indies posted 103 for 8, and in response, Pakistan finished on 99 for 5 after a big scare when Javeria Khan, its opening batter, caught a Shamilia Connell bouncer flush on the grille of her helmet, collapsed, and had to be taken off the ground. Fortunately, she was in good shape afterwards, as confirmed by tournament officials.
West Indies had come into the match on the back of a 3-0 clean sweep in T20 Internationals and a 4-1 victory in the One-Day International series against the same opposition in the Caribbean, making it the clear favourite for the contest.
