Overview
- The match between Pakistan and West Indies was abandoned on Wednesday after rain stopped play with Pakistan 111 for 7 in 16.5 overs, a result that mathematically ended Pakistan’s run in the tri-series and left them bottom with two points.
- Ireland benefit from the washout because a win over Pakistan in the remaining round-robin match would boost the hosts to 12 points, placing them two clear of West Indies and putting them on course to clinch the tri-series.
- Earlier in the tournament Pakistan lost to West Indies and were beaten by Ireland when the hosts chased 177 in 19.1 overs, exposing inconsistent batting and selection questions ahead of the World Cup.
- Pakistan will play Ireland in the tri-series final round-robin fixture at Castle Avenue on Thursday and then move on to World Cup warm-up matches in Derby as they finalise combinations for the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup.
- Weather has been the decisive factor in the short competition and the tri-series has served as a live rehearsal for World Cup planning, with Ireland’s Orla Prendergast leading the runs and Ava Canning the wickets as host players to watch.
