KARACHI: In spite of Anam Amin’s four-wicket haul for Pakistan Women, all-round performances from skipper Stefanie Taylor and Aneesa Mohammad saw West Indies Women win by three wickets and level the four-match ODI series 1-1 at the Beausejour Stadium in St Lucia.

Asked to bat first, Pakistan failed to get going and bundled out for just 149 in 46.1 overs.

Nain Abidi top-scored with a 48-run knock while Bismah Maroof made a slow 74-ball 28 before retiring through injury.

Aneesa and Hayley Mathews picked up two wickets apiece while Shamilia Connell and Taylor claimed one each.

In reply, West Indies managed to reach the target with 19 balls to spare.
