Women Power on Display: Pakistan and West Indies Ready to Shine on the Cricket Field 2025

💥 The Build-Up: Clash of Styles, Clash of Spirit

Sedona Prince

On one side, the mighty West Indies—brimming with power-hitters and bold flair. On the other, a determined Pakistani side—young, hungry, and ready to prove their mettle. As the sun dipped below the horizon and floodlights took over, you could feel the energy in the air.

West Indies won the toss and opted to bat, looking to set the tone early. And set it they did—Hayley Matthews came out like a woman on a mission, smashing boundaries like they owed her money. Her 63 off just 41 balls was a masterclass in controlled aggression.

But Pakistan didn’t back down. Fatima Sana’s fiery pace and Nashra Sandhu’s guile put the brakes on the Caribbean charge. Wickets fell just when they were needed, and by the end of 20 overs, West Indies had posted a solid—but gettable—148/6.

🏃‍♀️ The Chase: Slow Burn to Sizzling Finish

Pakistan’s reply started cautiously. Muneeba Ali and Sidra Ameen focused on building a base rather than fireworks, knowing the chase needed both patience and power. But when the run rate started to climb, all eyes turned to the middle order—and that’s where the magic happened.

Enter Bismah Maroof: calm, composed, and quietly brilliant. She steered the ship like a seasoned captain on stormy seas, rotating strike and keeping the scoreboard ticking. And then, just when it felt like the chase might be slipping away…

🔥 Ayesha Naseem happened.

If you don’t know her name yet, remember it now. Walking in with 35 needed off

18, she turned the match on its head. Big shots, bold strokes, no fear. The kind of fearless batting that gives bowlers nightmares and fans goosebumps.

est Indies won the toss and opted to bat first — and they came out swinging. Stafanie Taylor anchored the innings with her trademark elegance, while Hayley Matthews provided fireworks at the top. With boundaries flowing and the crowd on their feet, the Windies posted a challenging total of 155/6 in their allotted 20 overs.

Pakistan’s bowlers held their nerve towards the end, with Nida Dar and Fatima Sana tightening the screws in the death overs. Every run saved proved crucial.

🧨 The Final Over: High Drama, Big Heart

Nine runs. Six balls. One over to decide it all.

Chinelle Henry took the ball for West Indies. The first two balls were dot deliveries—and the tension was unreal. But then came the shot: a booming six straight down the ground by Naseem that electrified the stadium.

A single here, a leg bye there, and with one ball remaining, Pakistan sealed the win. Cue the celebrations, the cheers, the hugs, the high-fives. You couldn’t script it better.
