With the West Indies Women having already clinched the three-match ODI series by convincingly whitewashing the Pakistan Women and further solidifying their dominance with a 3-1 lead in the five-match T20I series, the hosts are now playing for pride and aiming to narrow the losing margin, as they did in the last match.

For the visitors, the journey hasn’t been straightforward, with a couple of narrow victories by one and two runs in the first and third T20Is, respectively. In the latest T20, Pakistan finally secured a win in the series and will be eager to maintain their momentum, aiming to end the series with a 2-3 scoreline rather than 1-4.

Probable Best Players of the Match

Probable Best Batter: Hayley Matthews

The skipper of the West Indies Women is currently in exceptional form with the bat, having amassed 325 runs in the ODI series. She has single-handedly dominated both sides with her batting prowess and is currently leading the charts in the ongoing T20I series. Despite scoring more than half of her team’s runs in the second-to-last T20I, she faltered in the last game. However, she’ll be determined to regain her confidence and aim for another significant score in the upcoming matches.

Probable Best Bowler: Fatima Sana

Having not played the second T20I, she has the best average between bowlers from both sides. Fatima will be looking to add to her tally after her impressive spells of 3/24, 2/22, and 11/0 in the first, and third T20Is, respectively.
