Batting first, Pakistan posted a total of 191 runs in 50 overs. The standout performer with the bat was Sidra Amin, who played a crucial knock of 54 runs off 94 balls and was rightfully named the Player of the Match. Muneeba Ali also contributed with a solid 33, while Sidra Nawaz added a handy 23 runs to help build a respectable total.
In response, West Indies Women struggled to gain momentum and were bowled out for just 126 in 39.2 overs. Aaliyah Alleyne top-scored with 22 runs, but the team lost wickets at regular intervals, never really threatening the target.

Nashra Sandhu and Rameen Shamim chipped in with 2 wickets each, tightening the grip on the West Indies batting lineup.
