LAHORE, Pakistan, (CMC) – West Indies Women lost their final warm-up match before the Women’s World Cup Qualifiers when they fell to Pakistan by five wickets here on Monday.
After winning the toss and electing to bat at the Gaddafi Stadium, the visitors who were playing without several key players including captain Hayley Matthews and Shemaine Campbelle, could only muster 188 for eight from their 50 overs.
Shabika Gajnabi led the way for the West Indies with an unbeaten 68 from 77 balls, inclusive of seven fours, and Jannillea Glasgow scored 41 from 50 balls in an otherwise disappointing batting display.
Left-arm spinners Sadia Iqbal and Nashra Sandu took 3-21 and 2-47 respectively.

Pakistan then easily chased down the target, ending on 192 for five from 46.1 overs thanks to superb batting performances from vice-captain Muneeba Ali and Natalia Parvaiz.
The duo anchored the chase, with Muneeba top-scoring with 87 runs off 113 balls, while Natalia hit 53 from 60 deliveries.
Gull Feroza also played a supporting role, scoring 28 crucial runs.

The victory marked Pakistan’s second consecutive warm-up win, following a dominant seven-wicket victory over Thailand.
The West Indies Women play their first match in the World Cup Qualifiers tomorrow when they take on Scotland Women in the opening match.
