India pacer Renuka Thakur tormented West Indies with a fiery opening spell before Deepti Sharma claimed a stunning career-best six-wicket haul to bowl out the visitors for 162 in the third and final women's ODI here on Friday. Thakur (4/29) and Deepti (6/31) were relentless with the ball, taking all 10 wickets between them. Thakur's accurate line and length dismantled the top order, while Deepti deceived the West Indies batters with flight and guile, recording her third ODI five-wicket haul and second six-wicket performance. West Indies fought back with a 97-run partnership between Chinelle Henry (61) and Shemaine Campbelle (46), helping them to cross 160. Without this stand, the visitors might have been bowled out for less than 100. Both batted really well and were aggressive against the spinners. Apart from Henry and Campbelle, only Aaliyah Alleyne (21) reached a double digit score as West Indies' batting woes continued. Opting to bat first, West Indies' innings struggled from
Multan will host back-to-back tests when Pakistan plays the West Indies next month, the domestic cricket board said on Tuesday. With stadiums in Rawalpindi, Lahore and Karachi being upgraded for February's Champions Trophy, it has left the Pakistan Cricket Board with Multan as the only option to host the two-test series against the West Indies. England also played back-to-back tests in Multan in October because of the renovation work in Karachi and Lahore. The West Indies squad arrives on Jan. 6 and will play a three-day warm-up game in Rawalpindi against Pakistan Shaheens. The first test is held from Jan. 17-21 and the second starts on Jan. 25.

Coming off one of their biggest wins in terms of runs, fancied India will look to guard against complacency when they take on a beleaguered West Indies side with an aim to bag the three-match series in the second Women's ODI here on Tuesday. India will be entering the game on the back of a massive 211-run victory over the visitors in the series opener in which the Harmanpreet Kaur-led team ticked almost all the boxes. Every match the teams play in the coming months will be significant as the ICC World Cup is scheduled to be held in the country next year. India, who have never won a women's World Cup, are desperate to end their ICC title drought at home and they are aware that a strong build-up is extremely important for them to head into the mega event as one of the contenders alongside the 'usual suspects', Australia and England. Though India have not begun their preparations for the big tournament in earnest, having suffered a 0-3 whitewash in Australia, they bounced back in styl
Wicketkeeper-batter Richa Ghosh has urged the Indian women's team not to take the foot off the pedal after their T20I series victory, but to adopt a more aggressive approach when they face West Indies in the upcoming three ODIs.
