Pakistan’s quest to remain in the top five of the ICC Women’s Championships 2022-25 brings them against West Indies as the two teams prepare to battle it out in a three-match ODI series starting April 18 (Thursday).
Pakistan are fifth on the table and are just above India with 18 points and a net run rate (NRR) of 0.392. Leg-spinner Ghulam Fatima who was involved in a car accident recently has been rested for the series as she continues to recover from minor injuries whereas former skipper Bismah Maroof’s participation is subject to fitness clearance.
On the other hand, the West Indies are ninth, having played 12 games in the cycle. The Women in Maroon have only managed to win three of their 12 games and lost seven. Two of their fixtures couldn’t yield a result.
Wicketkeeper-batter Sidra Nawaz has been recalled to the ODI squad. She last played in the 50-overs format during South Africa’s tour of Pakistan in September 2023.
