The respective A teams also played three 20-over and three limited overs matches against each other,[4] with the WT20I and 20-over matches played as double-headers.[5] It was the first ever bilateral A team series by the two teams.[6] The 50-over matches were used as preparation for the 2021 Women's Cricket World Cup Qualifier.[7]
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.[8]
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.[9] Both of them were immediately taken to hospital, where they were reported to be conscious and stable.[10] However, the match continued, with both players replaced by substitutes.[11] Both of them recovered and joined the West Indies' squad ahead of the third WT20I.[12]
Pakistan's A Team won the first two 20-over fixtures, to win the series with a match to spare.[13] Conversely, the West Indies won the first two WT20I matches, to also win the series with a game to spare.[14] The Pakistan A Team won the third 20-over match by eight wickets, to win the series 3–0.[15] The West Indies won the third WT20I match by six wickets, to win the series 3–0.[16] The West Indies won the first three WODI matches,[17] to win the series with two games to spare.[18] Pakistan A continued their winning streak, with victory in the first two 50-over matches, taking an unassailable series lead.[19] Pakistan A won their final match by seven wickets to remain unbeaten across all six of their matches.[20] 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.[21]
