In the heart of Karachi, cricket enthusiasts are gearing up for the third and final Women’s One Day International (ODI) between Pakistan and West Indies at the iconic National Stadium. The match, scheduled for Tuesday, holds significant stakes for both teams, albeit for contrasting reasons.
The visiting West Indies team arrives with an air of dominance, having already sealed the series 2-0 with convincing victories in the first two ODIs. Now, with their sights set on a whitewash, the Caribbean side is determined to maintain their momentum and leave an indelible mark on Pakistani soil.
Meanwhile, the Pakistani team finds themselves in a precarious position, facing the daunting task of salvaging pride in front of their home crowd. With the series already out of reach, the hosts are eager to avoid the ignominy of a clean sweep at the hands of their opponents.
