PAK-W vs WI-W 3rd T20I: Pakistan eager to stage comeback against spirited Windies

Continuing with their astounding dominance, West Indies Women are gearing up to face off against Pakistan Women in the third T20I match of the ongoing five-match series on Tuesday at National Stadium Karachi. High on confidence, West Indies have already taken 2-0 lead, making things incredibly complex for Pakistan Women, who will need to win this game at any cost to remain alive in the series.
It’s been highly disappointing from Pakistan Women to have lost two games in a row. Moreover, they suffered series defeat in the three-match ODI series that preceded T20I series. West Indies skipper Hayley Matthews has been extremely competitive, dispensing pivotal knocks for the team. She would hope to continue making major contributions for the team.
On the other hand, Pakistan Women are desperate for a win to stage their comeback in the series. An all-round show is needed for Pakistan to put energy into their dull campaign. All in all, they will be eager to make their mark in the series against West Indies, who have overpowered them in the previous showdowns.
Compounding the problems for Pakistan Women is the upcoming T20I World Cup as they haven’t looked in their best touch yet, suffering defeats one after another. However, this series is providing an insight into the areas they need to make improvements.
PAK-W Probable XI: Gull Feroza, Sidra Ameen, Muneeba Ali, Ayesha Zafar, Nida Dar (c), Aliya Riaz, Najiha Alvi (wk), Tuba Hassan, Diana Baig, Nashra Sandhu, Sadia Iqbal
WI-W Probable XI: Hayley Matthews (c), Qiana Joseph, Shemaine Campbelle (wk), Chedean Nation, Chinelle Henry, Aaliyah Alleyne, Afy Fletcher, Jannillea Glasgow, Cherry Ann Fraser, Shamilia Connell, Karishma Ramharack
