Off-spinner Anisa Mohammed's inspired bowling (3/25) helped the West Indies Women edge Pakistan Women by a slender margin of four runs in a World T20 clash here.
The West Indies, during the match on Wednesday, were sent into bat after losing toss and restricted to 103/8.
But in reply, Pakistan could only manage 99/5 in a Group B match at the MA Chidambaram Stadium.
Pakistan's innings was dealt a serious blow early on when opener Javeria Khan was struck by a bouncer from Shamilia Connell.
She was taken to a nearby hospital where she underwent a CT scan and is now said to be stable.
After that, Sidra Ameen (20) and Bismah Maroof (22) steadied the innings with a 40-run stand.
