The 20th match of the ICC Women's ODI World Cup 2022 will be played between West Indies and Pakistan on March 21 at Seddon Park, Hamilton.
While West Indies are positioned at the third spot on the points table with three wins in five matches, Pakistan is reeling at the bottom with no success to their name.
The West Indies enjoyed a great start in the tournament as they knocked off giants New Zealand and England in their first two fixtures. But these two wins were followed by heavy defeats against India and Australia that derailed their campaign.
However, Stafanie Taylor and company came back on track after earning a hard-fought victory in their last clash against Bangladesh. In a low-scoring thriller, the side managed to triumph over the opposition by four runs.
On the other hand, Pakistan have already been eliminated after four back-to-back defeats. The side led by Bismah Maroof has no chance of progressing to the next stage but will take the field tomorrow to salvage the pride.
While the batting has been their pivotal concern throughout, Nashra Sandhu in the bowling front came out as a bright light and is currently among the leading wicket-takers in the tournament with a total of seven scalps.
