Windies pummel Pakistan in first ODI

returned with her sharp medium pace to take three for 14, while leg-spinner Afy Fletcher grabbed three for 17, to send the innings tumbling to 70 all out in the 30th over.

Nahida Khan top-scored with 23 before retiring hurt at 46 for one in the 17th over and her departure saw Pakistan collapse quickly, with number 11 Aiman Anwer also unable to bat because of injury.

THREE VICTIMS

Dottin had earlier taken centre stage with her 19th one-day 50 as she and Taylor set up the innings nicely for the visitors.

Left-handed opener Kycia Knight laboured 18 balls at the crease without scoring before she was bowled by veteran off-spinner Sana Mir in the sixth over with 12 runs on the board.

But Dottin and Taylor combined in a 143run second-wicket stand which clinically took the game away from the hosts.

While Dottin punched eight fours and two sixes, Taylor counted four fours in a 97-ball knock before she perished in the 40th over, becoming the first of Kainat’s three victims.

Dottin followed in the 46th over, agonisingly short of three figures but Campbelle struck two fours in a breezy 30-ball knock to keep the innings ticking at the end.

Fast bowler Shamilia Connell then struck early in the second over to give the Windies the upper hand, when she had Sidra Ameen caught at the wicket without scoring.

Nahida propped up the innings in a 44-run, second-wicket stand with captain Javeria Khan (21) before she was stretchered off after taking a blow to the helmet from Dottin.

Pakistan were further set back when Dottin knocked over Umaima Sohail first ball and the innings never recovered as wickets fell steadily.

The second match of the series is on Saturday at the same venue.
