Taylor was again at the forefront, hitting an unbeaten 43 off 41 balls to rescue her side after they slumped to 17 for three in the third over.
The drama came earlier when Taylor bowled Fatima Sana (1), Diana Baig (5) and Anam Amin (0) in successive deliveries.
West Indies won the first match by 10 runs. The regional team made 136 for six, while Pakistan scored 126 for six.
West Indies won the second game under the Duckworth/Lewis method. West Indies made 125 for six off 18 overs when rain stopped the game.
Pakistan could only make 103 for six in 18 overs in their pursuit of 126.
