Hayley Matthews' 141 finishes ODI series clear for West Indies
Hayley Matthews smacked 141 to follow up her unbeaten 140 in the series opener to take an inspired West Indies to a crushing win in the 3rd ODI. The victory sealed a clean sweep over Pakistan.
She fueled West Indies to 278 as Pakistan's bowlers battled for wickets on a fairly bloated track in Karachi. Pakistan oversaw minimal in excess of a weak reaction, with Muneeba Ali's 38 the most elevated score as they were skittled out for a limp 190. Matthews guaranteed her commitment was all over with figures of 2 for 26 out of eight overs as a 88-run win was gotten.
This was a dead elastic at any rate, however there was little risk in the game from the second Matthews won the throw and chose for set an objective. The skipper drove from the front as she put the squeeze on Pakistan's bowlers, with the initial assault of Fatima Sana and Nida Dar set under quick tension. First-change spinner Nashra Sandhu, the pick of the assault with 3 for 54, gave an early forward leap, yet it was minimal more than a speedbump for a relentless West Indies side.
Matthews and previous West Indies commander Stafanie Taylor joined for a 101-run represent the third wicket, by which time Matthews raised her fifth ODI hundred and second this series. As Taylor pivoted the strike, Matthews took advantage of home the guests' leverage by hitting 19 fours herself. Conversely, Pakistan oversaw 21 in their whole innings. Sandhu's twin strikes in the 46th over to eliminate Taylor and Chinelle Henry came excessively late, with an unbeaten 12-ball 20 from Aaliyah Alleyne helping their side walk to 278.
Pakistan's reaction saw a lot of twofold figures yet next to no substance. Openers Sadaf Shamas and Sidra Ameen had their stumps thumped back by Shamilia Conell and Henry, and keeping in mind that Muneeba and Bismah Maroof added 45 for the third wicket, the run-scoring was essentially excessively comfortable to inconvenience the guests. It took 69 balls for those 45 to be scored before Karishma Ramharack prised Maroof out. Matthews' twin strikes to dispose of skipper Nida Dar and topscorer Muneeba Ali killed the game off for good.
Aalia Riaz and Fatima Sana put on another association, yet the game was making an insincere effort at this point. West Indies struck at standard stretches, and everything enveloped with the 48th over when a twofold strike from Alleyne polished Pakistan off. The different sides will currently play a five-match T20I series, with every one of the five games in Karachi.
