Stafanie Taylor gave one of the greatest performances in the history of Women’s Twenty20 cricket as she piloted West Indies Women’s to a huge victory over Pakistan Women in the third CG Insurance T20I on Sunday.
The inspirational captain was sensational with the ball taking a hat-trick in the final over to end with 4-17 as Pakistan made 102. She then topscored with 43 not out as the home team strolled to 106-4 off 19.1 overs to make it three wins in a row and make a clean sweep of the series.
Taylor became the second West Indian woman to take a hat-trick at international level when she removed Fatima Sana Diana Baig and Anam Amin. The previous hat-trick for West Indies was by Anisa Mohammed against South Africa in 2018. Mohammed also bowled well to end with impressive figures of 3-24 off her four overs.
When the West Indies batted Taylor added 41 for the fourth wicket with Chadean Nation (20) and then an unbroken fifth-wicket stand of 48 with left-hander Kycia Knight, who ended on 24 not out. (windiescricket.com)
