The match was won based on DLS method after the play had to be stopped due to the heavy rains in Antigua. West Indies had chosen to bat first and had posted just 125/6 due to the tight bowling by Pakistani women. Kycia Knight who won the Player of the Match was the top scorer for West Indies with 30 runs. Windies Women on the other hand restricted Pakistan Women to 103/6* (18 overs) before rain played spoilsport.
