Soon Pakistan Women vs West Indies Women's 2nd ODI will start In the first ODI we saw the batting disaster of Pakistan Women's batsmen Pakistan Women's team was bowled out for just 156 runs against West Indies Women's team. Of course in today's match, Pakistan women's team will have to bat responsibly. If they want to win the second ODI match against West Indies. Pakistan women's team will have to perform well in both batting and bowling otherwise they will not be able to win the match against West Indies women's team. West Indies women's team is performing very well in batting and bowling. From the beginning, the Pakistanis were bowled aggressively, due to which the Pakistan Women's team lost the first ODI very badly against the West Indies Women's team. Let's see if the Pakistan women's team wins against the West Indies in the second one-day match?
Now this 2 nd game of this Wodi series was finished between Pakistan-W team Vs West Indies-W team. West Indies-W team already won 1 st game of this series and their effort in 1 st was commendable and same effort showed in today game and won this game and out of 3 2 games was won by West Indies-W team. Pakistan-W team won toss and they took a chance to choose first bat or bowl and West Indies-W team elected bat first. Pakistan-W team performed much better than form past game and set 223 runs target in 50 inning and losing all wickets. S.Taylor showed very brilliant struggle in batting lineup and scored 73 runs off 90 deliveries with hitted nine 4s, this player also got a player of game award due to her outstanding effort. S.Campbelle also played well and this player made 52 runs in 73 balls with four 4s. This was 2 nd win of West Indies-W team and also already win this series and only one game left for play.

West Indies women did face some difficult difficulties in the second match. It was not as easy as the first one for West Indies women. They definitely had to fight harder. But in the end, I think I have to say that Pakistani women did not do well enough. And of course, I am talking about the batting side. Because they had been all out with having seven balls left. If they could even just play the remaining seven balls and get at least around 10 more runs, they could have actually won the match.

By the way, West Indies women also helped the Pakistan women a lot by giving 30 extra runs as well. Otherwise, Pakistan was going to lose the match pretty easily again.

If we talk about the current situation of the match. Pakistan has played its turn and again Pakistan performance wasn't good. They didn't play all overs the whole team out and they played 48.5 overs. And they made only 223 runs. Means they made 224 runs target. Which I think is not enough to win. I am saying this just because of the previous match. Pakistan can win this match but they need to bowl well. If they will bowl well and collect some early wickets in early overs so they can win this match. Otherwise West Indies Women team is looking still strong as compared to Pakistan women team.

If target is 224 then team can win only if they pick wickets at regular intervals. Pakistan team is bowling at the moment and they have picked just one wicket in 17 overs. Hayley Matthews who played a brilliant innings of 140 in last ODI is still on the crease, she has scored 43 runs so far. WI Women need 158 runs from 33 overs with 9 wickets in hand. Pakistan need to pick wickets quickly if they want to keep this series alive.


Pakistan women's team may not be able to save the series because West Indies women's team is on the verge of winning this match. It was very important for Pakistan Women to win this match today as they were disappointingly defeated by West Indies Women in the first ODI. Pakistan women's team may be defeated by West Indies women's team in today's match as well. In today's match, Pakistan women batting first, they managed to score only 224 runs, which is a very easy equation for the West Indies women team.
Pakistan's batting performance was as disappointing as the bowling performance today as they managed to get out only four batsmen from the West Indies women's team. As Pakistan Women scored less runs today, they should have taken West Indies Women's wickets down quickly but they failed to do so. West Indies women need 40 runs from 45 balls to win right now and even with six valuable wickets in hand they might win this match very soon and clinch the ODI series. S Taylor remains unbeaten on 69 as West Indies Women start dreaming of victory.

This match is crucial one for Pakistan Women who are looking to bounce back from disappointing loss in first ODI. They need to address their batting issues and put up solid score to challenge strong West Indies Women team. West Indies team on other hand will be looking to build on their momentum and secure series win. Their batting and bowling have been impressive so far and they will be confident of another win. However Pakistan Women have potential to surprise and if they play to their strengths. And according to the current situation Pakistan has lost 4 wickets and they made 133 runs and have played 30 overs. If they will play till and so I think they can go above 250+ runs. And if they will bowl well so they can win this match to tie the series.

Tomorrow Pakistan Women team and West Indies Women team will play second ODI match. In the last match Pakistan Women tried their best but lost by 114 runs. They lost but they showed some good things like their bowlers Sadia Iqbal and Tuba Hassan who bowled very well. To win tomorrow Pakistan Women need to improve their batting especially their top players who need to score more runs.They also need to work on their fielding because some mistakes cost them last match. West Indies Women will try to win again and will try to win series. Their batting is strong led by Deandra Dottin and Hayley Matthews and their bowlers Shakera Selman and Shamilia Connell are in good form. But Pakistan Women can still win if they fix their mistakes and play well. I think it will be close and interesting match.
Paksitan has such worse squad and I don't believe they will make any difference against top side like West Indies, and I am sure that they will not able to make a comeback in second match of thier series which is quite important for them to level the series otherwise one more victory for west indies will put them ahead to won the series. The main reason for paksitan squad weakness is that they unable to get new young talent and some how managing things will old which will not stay long because mostly new player bring revolution and through his unique style of play and techniques they can catch the upside trend for them. Hope so after announcing few franchise cricket for them they will get some new handsome talents

They'll do exactly the opposite for obvious reasons.

Even Pujara and Rahane are not announcing their retirement, despite knowing that their time is over and they generally have virtually no brand value. So in this regard, fans shouldn't expect much from established players like Rohit or Kohli.

As long as money is involved, no one wants to retire from international cricket. Take the example of Suresh Raina. Once he retired from international cricket, his franchise also disowned him and his career ended all of a sudden. In case of Mahendra Singh Dhoni also, endorsements and advertising revenue has sharply gone down ever since he stopped playing international cricket. I am not expecting players such as Kohli and Rohit to retire from international cricket, before they get into their 40s.

The batsmen of the Pakistan women's team batted really disappointingly in the first ODI match. Because the batsmen of the Pakistan women's team were almost disoriented after losing wickets one after another to bat against the West Indies women's team with a target of 270 runs. The batsmen of Pakistan women's team batting the way they batted in the first one-day match, they must focus on batting to win the second one-day match. Because the batting line-up of West Indies women's team is quite strong, Pakistan women's team must have a great performance to win against them. Will not win against West Indies women's team. Pakistan women's team lost badly in first ODI match against West Indies Pakistan was defeated by 113 runs. So the batsmen and bowlers of Pakistan Women's team should give their best performance and try their best to win the second ODI against West Indies.
Agree, In the first One day game of Pak-W vs Wi-W. Pakistan women played very poor Cricket in first game All out in just 156 runs while chasing down a big target again West Indies women. Wi-W made 269/8 runs posted a big target with the support of Hayley Matthews played excellent 140 runs unbeaten inning. Pakistan -W was failed in chasing the target. Hayley Matthews brilliant batting performance is 140 runs unbeaten and also excellent bowling takes 3/17 wickets. Pakistan Women team did not take early wickets and didn't create pressure on West Indies W, after that they are failed to deliver in the bowling line and lost this match by a big 113 margin. West Indies -W won 1 out 3 games and they led the series by 1-0.
To bat against the target of 270 runs given by West Indies in the first one-day match, the batsmen of Pakistan women's team were under pressure by losing wickets at the beginning, but no other batsman could bat as well, due to which Pakistan women's team was bowled out for only 156 runs in the first one-day match. Tuba Hassan was the top scorer for Pakistan Women's team with 25 runs. Pakistan women's batting performance in the first ODI match against West Indies was very poor and they need to focus more on their batting. Two teams will face each other tomorrow in the second ODI match so Pakistan women team must give a responsible performance against West Indies women otherwise it will be very difficult for them to win the second ODI match against West Indies women.

That's a big problem with Indian players. No one, literally no one wants to announce their retirement and love to extend their career in every possible way. Most of the time because of their brand value.

He can say anything he wants but everything depends on the selectors and selection should be on merits. If he's fit enough to do yard hards with good form and compete for the slot with young players despite turning 40 then he has every right.
I agree as Indian cricket is touching new highs with their huge success in IPL and having good things adopted which are increasing their quality and consistency it's time for players as well they follow footsteps of English and Australian players while they feel they are going down they announce their time for retirement which helps selectors and also help youths to done hard work for filling their spot but here we have no sportsmanship just because of their big brands which are giving them huge funds and their lifestyle is completely luxurious due to them.

As mentioned above he is currently 37 he needs to announce his retirement date, but he is insisting about he is going to play for 2 to 3 more years which is really shameful act for the legendary player like him with usually we have many players from SENA take retirement and started their new journey which helps them and also creating good atmosphere for the new generation players.
They'll do exactly the opposite for obvious reasons.

The excellent batting performance of the West Indies women's team was really impressive and they managed to put up a huge score. Moreover, Pakistan women's team did not perform very well in bowling and batting due to which they lost to West Indies women's team by a huge margin. 269 runs collected by West Indies women's team is really a huge run and Hayley Matthews, a batsman of West Indies women's team, has done an amazing batting. Hayley Matthews has done well enough as a captain of the team and her batting performance has been worth watching, scoring 140 runs off 150 balls which is impressive. He became the captain of the team and batted well enough for his team to win and scored enough runs. But Pakistan women's team did not play very well and their batting performance was poor and batted in desperation due to which they lost. Pakistan women team has to improve their game or else they cannot win and a huge loss of 113 runs is very painful for Pakistan women team.

The match was held at National Stadium Karachi, I did not expect Pakistan women’s team to actually lose by such a huge margin against West Indies women’s team in opening ODI. If this loss was against some other team like India or New Zealand, I think it made more sense. But against West Indies women’s team, they should have performed about better. This was definitely a very big loss. Pakistan women's team will have to improve in all the departments. Batting bowling fielding everything. And I genuinely think that Pakistan women’s team are capable of better performance.

I can see Hailey Matthews is unbeaten and managed to earn 140, it is her career-best run, so they are very much motivated. Let's see if Pak can turn things around in the second ODI. They will have to if they want to stay alive because it is a three match series if I am not wrong.

There is some controversy surrounding Rohit Sharma's recent statement that he is looking forward to play in the ODI World Cup of 2027. He is about to turn 37 this month and by the time of next world cup he will be 40 years old. I am not sure whether the BCCI will be very happy with Rohit playing in ODI format despite his age.

IMO, India should go with a younger team rather then depending too much on players such as Kolhi, Rohit and Shami. These players failed to win the ODI World Cup even once, so what is the point in persisting with them?

Pakistan women team did not play well in their first match against West Indies. They struggled with their batting and kept losing wickets. This made it hard for them to reach score set by West Indies Women team. Pakistan Women Team needs to work on their batting strategy for next matches. West Indies has strong batting lineup so Pakistan must play better to win next match. They need to improve both their batting and bowling. It is important for team to stay determined and bounce back in next match against West Indies.
West Indies women team vs Pakistan women team second ODI match starts tomorrow. If we talk about Pakistan women team first ODI match then Pakistan women team lost very badly against West Indies in first ODI match. Pakistan women's team lost the match against West Indies due to poor batting. On the other hand, the West Indies women's team is very confident after winning the first ODI match against Pakistan. So in the second ODI match, if Pakistan wants to win the match against West Indies, they have to play responsible batting, otherwise they will lose against West Indies. Because I enjoyed Pakistan's first one day match the performance of Pakistan women batsmen was very poor. Of course they need to perform with more confidence they need to try to play full overs otherwise they will be all out in very few runs.
