The Pakistan women's cricket team toured the West Indies to play the West Indies women's cricket team in June and July 2021.[2] The tour consisted of three Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) and five Women's One Day International (WODI) matches.[3] [4]
The respective A teams also played three 20-over and three limited overs matches against each other,[5] with the WT20I and 20-over matches played as double-headers.[6] It was the first ever bilateral A team series by the two teams.[7] The 50-over matches were used as preparation for the 2021 Women's Cricket World Cup Qualifier.[8]
In the opening match of the series, Nida Dar became the first bowler, male of female, to take 100 wickets in T20I cricket for Pakistan.[9]
On 2 July 2021, during the second WT20I match, West Indies players Chinelle Henry and Chedean Nation collapsed on the field in a space of ten minutes, at the Coolidge Cricket Ground in Antigua.[10] Both of them were immediately taken to hospital, where they were reported to be conscious and stable.[11] However, the match continued, with both players replaced by substitutes.[12] Both of them recovered and joined the West Indies' squad ahead of the third WT20I.[13]
Pakistan's A Team won the first two 20-over fixtures, to win the series with a match to spare.[14] Conversely, the West Indies won the first two WT20I matches, to also win the series with a game to spare.[15] The Pakistan A Team won the third 20-over match by eight wickets, to win the series 3–0.[16] The West Indies won the third WT20I match by six wickets, to win the series 3–0.[17] The West Indies won the first three WODI matches,[18] to win the series with two games to spare.[19] Pakistan A continued their winning streak, with victory in the first two 50-over matches, taking an unassailable series lead.[20] Pakistan A won their final match by seven wickets to remain unbeaten across all six of their matches.[21] In the final match of the tour, Pakistan beat the West Indies by 22 runs in a rain-affected match, with the West Indies winning the WODI series 3–2.[22]
Pakistan did not name individual squads for the WODI and WT20I matches, opting instead to name a combined squad of 26 players for the tour.[26] Conversely, the West Indies named squads for both the national and A teams.[27] Stafanie Taylor was named as their captain, with Reniece Boyce leading the A Team for both the 20-over and 50-over matches.[28] [29] On 12 July 2021, Cricket West Indies added Shabika Gajnabi, Chinelle Henry and Rashada Williams to their WODI squad for the final three matches.[30] Rameen Shamim was ruled out of Pakistan's squad for the fourth WODI match due to an injury.[31]
