*Official* Women's World Cup 2022

I'm not convinced the Pakistan batting is suited to playing 20 overs. They mostly look like bats who need to spend some time in the middle first to really score quickly.

Matthews gone early!

 

[Himannv]

Just need to get Dottin now and they're in with a chance to restrict them to a lower total.

 

[tony p]

If they keep them to under 120, they have a slight chance I think, certainly 100-110.

Anything more, than I would think a WI win. Personally I think the WI are a bit flaky, not sure they are in the best 4 teams here.

 

[cnerd123]

Yea I think a score around 100 should be enough for WI here.

 

[tony p]

So far Matthews & Taylor have scored 2 runs off 14 balls combined.
Dottin has scored 24(30) so far.

 

[Himannv]

Dottin gone. I think they'll be able to restrict them now. Too bad their batting is so weak or they'd be favourites to win this.

 

[cnerd123]

West Indies seem like a team that play up, or down, to their oppositions standards

Could be in for an upset today.

 

[tony p]

They shouldn't have beaten the Bangers really.

It looks like they're in trouble but Pakistan are quite ordinary with the bat and WI tend to bowl well under pressure. I think this is still in the balance.

 

[cnerd123]

great catch that. Pak have to believe they can chase 4.5 RPO here, regardless of the opposition.

 

[Himannv]

Excellent bowling from Dar - good 4-fer.

 

[Himannv]

Them wickets they-a-tumblin'.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

WI really need Taylor to bat through.

Oops ignore that. WI in real trouble here.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Surely Pakistan can chase something under 90.

 

[tony p]

India, England & to a lesser extent NZ are quitely cheering Pakistan here.

This would really upset the apple cart.

 

[Himannv]

Gone back to pace with Sana into the attack. I'd have been tempted to just give the spinners most of the remaining overs.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

For once Indians will be supporting a Pakistani team.

 

[Himannv]

Expensive over. Those boundaries might make all the difference.

 

[Himannv]

Important runs scored at the death. It might just save them.

 

[cnerd123]

some real amateurish cricket by Pak on display here

Should still be able to chase down 90, surely.
