West Indies Women have already clinched the series with their victory in the first three games of the ongoing five-match T20I series against Pakistan Women. As both teams now gear up to face each other in the fourth T20I match, scheduled to be held on Thursday at National Stadium Karachi, the stakes remain high, with West Indies looking to not lose the momentum. 

West Indies, leading the five-match series 3-0 after clinching victories in the first three encounters, haven’t allowed Pakistan to settle. West Indies have shown exceptional skills in batting, bowling, and fielding in all the previous outings. 

On the other hand, Pakistan Women have not been able to challenge West Indies, suffering defeats one after another. Their gloomy performances and inconsistency have put them in a precarious situation. Pakistan will be eager to bounce back and salvage a win in the upcoming match.

Although, they have lost the series, but they will look to close out the series with wins in the remaining two games. In the third game, Pakistan gave a tough fight but they fell two runs short of a challenging total of 132/5 in (20) posted by West Indies on the back of 68-run score produced by skipper Hayley Matthews.

PAK-W Probable XI: Sidra Ameen, Ayesha Zafar, Muneeba Ali, Natalia Pervaiz, Nida Dar (c), Aliya Riaz, Fatima Sana, Najiha Alvi (wk), Tuba Hassan, Rameen Shamim, Sadia Iqbal

WI-W Probable XI: Hayley Matthews (c), Rashada Williams, Shemaine Campbelle (wk), Chedean Nation, Chinelle Henry, Aaliyah Alleyne, Afy Fletcher, Zaida James, Cherry Ann Fraser, Shamilia Connell, Karishma Ramharack
