8.34pm: Bit of a flurry from West Indies at the end. But still one feels that 89 from 20 overs is a major disappointment albeit on a slow pitch. They never got going despite Dottin getting a few boundaries at the start. She struggled as did Taylor against the spinners who tied them down. The strike was not rotated enough and that resulted in pressure building up. The fielding backed up the bowling and some excellent catches were taken. Pakistan got a team hat-trick even as Nida Dar finished with a four-fer and her career-best ODI figures. Alleyne and Fletcher at the death used the long handle to push the total towards the 90 mark. The pitch has plenty for the spinners and West Indies have a couple of good ones. We have seen them defend 140 against Bangladesh the other day. Can they do it again? Back for the chase in 10 minutes...
Kapil Baldawa: "23 off last 2 overs can be crucial and Pakistan have to make use of the PP unlike the WI. If they manage to get 35 in the PP, they may be in great position to win their first ever world cup game"
Ahsan Bhutta: "Pakistan gave away 15 runs too many at the end."
Tushar: "I hope these free 4 runs conceded in the last over don't come back to haunt Pakistan later in the night."
Gabbar: "I'd say West Indies have a competitive score given the wicket and fragile Pakistani batting line up. My money on West Indies right now"
Saksham: "If Pakistan actually do lose this match somehow, it will have been because of this 19th over."

Beex: "Toss was crucial for this shortened game as all the pressure would be on the team batting first. Pakistan Women have really turned up. I for one am now going through S Rajesh's report to check out the remaining matches permutations - if the West Indies Women lose here then quite a few possibilities come into play right?"

Tushar: "@Nikit - The Pakistani bowlers surely agree with you and have taken on themselves to restrict Windies to under 80. Rooting for a Pakistani win, as are millions of Indian fans :)"
SHAZ: "@Srivathsa : Sorry i just tuned in from Pak VS Aus test. Is it good bowling from Pakistan or poor show from WI ladies?" --- Pakistan have been excellent and have tied down the West Indies batters on a slow pitch
