West Indies women join Australia at top of ICC Women’s Championship
Key Points(5)
  • The West Indies women’s cricket squad joins mighty Australia at the top of the ICC Women's Championships, following their third-straight win over Pakistan over the weekend.
  • That Pakistan got to 182 for 5 in its 50 overs was thanks to the efforts of Asmavia Iqbal (44 not out in 43 balls) and Sana Mir (24), who added 75 in an unbeaten sixth-wicket stand over 81 balls.
  • Earlier, Anisa Mohammed (2 for 30) and Shamilia Connell (3 for 32) had run through the top order, ensuring Pakistan could only progress at a crawl till the pair came together.
  • Bismah Maroof, the fifth woman out, did her bit to keep things steady, but her 41 took 88 balls.
  • Tied at 16 points with Australia, they are well on their way for World Cup automatic qualification.
