Skipper Shai Hope lit up the evening with an unbeaten 120 off 94 balls, before Jayden Seales tore through Pakistan’s batting order with a career-best 6 for 18. Three Pakistani top-order batters departed for ducks, and no one other than Salman Agha (30) could mount any meaningful resistance.

West Indies were sent into bat after Pakistan won the toss and elected to field. The hosts made a stuttering start, losing early wickets and barely crossing 100 inside 27 overs. However, Hope steadied the innings, then shifted into another gear entirely, scoring 110 of his runs in a blistering final partnership with Justin Greaves. When Pakistan came out to chase 295, Seales made the game redundant within three overs, reducing them to 8/3. The rest was a formality a comprehensive display in every department of the game.

Fall of Wickets: 1-10 (King, 2.3), 2-57 (Lewis, 13.6), 3-68 (Carty, 19.1), 4-113 (Rutherford, 30.3), 5-177 (Chase, 40.3), 6-184 (Motie, 41.5)
West Indies crawled to 68/3 inside 20 overs, their innings looking laboured against disciplined Pakistan spin. Brandon King fell cheaply for 5 off just 8 balls, while Evin Lewis provided some early spark with 37 off 54 including three sixes before holing out at long-on. Keacy Carty consumed 45 deliveries for 17, struggling for fluency against the spinners. Sherfane Rutherford was similarly becalmed, managing only 15 off 40 before gifting a catch to Hussain Talat. Roston Chase’s 36 off 29 (with 3 fours and 2 sixes) was the catalyst that sparked the innings back to life, and his 64-run partnership with Hope shifted the momentum. Once Chase fell bowled by Naseem at 177, Hope shifted gears dramatically. His unbeaten 110-run partnership with the explosive Justin Greaves in just 8.1 overs was the innings within the innings Greaves blazing 43* off just 24 balls to take West Indies from a modest 184/6 to 294/6. Hope’s hundred, his 18th in ODIs, came off 83 balls with a crunching cover drive, placing him third on the all-time West Indian ODI centuries list behind Lara and Gayle.

Fall of Wickets: 1-0 (Ayub, 0.3), 2-8 (Shafique, 2.4), 3-8 (Rizwan, 2.5), 4-23 (Babar, 8.2), 5-61 (H Nawaz, 19.3), 6-62 (Talat, 20.3), 7-70 (S Agha, 21.6)
Pakistan’s chase was dead before it began. Three ducks in the first three overs Ayub caught behind off Seales, Shafique caught at mid-on, and captain Rizwan bowled for a golden duck reduced the visitors to a catastrophic 8/3. Babar Azam could only manage 9 off 23 before being trapped lbw by Seales, making it 23/4 inside nine overs. The game was functionally over. Salman Agha alone provided any semblance of resistance with a gritty 30 off 49, before being caught and bowled by Motie. Hasan Nawaz (13 off 40) and Hussain Talat (1) offered nothing, and Mohammad Nawaz’s unbeaten 23 off 28 the only batter to reach double figures besides Agha and Babar was a mere footnote. Seales returned to blast away the tail with a career-best 6/18, and a Roston Chase run-out ended the innings in 29.2 overs.
Bowling Figures
West Indies Bowling
| Bowler | Overs | Maidens | Runs | Wickets | Economy |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jayden Seales | 7.2 | 0 | 18 | 6 | 2.5 |
| Gudakesh Motie | 7.0 | 0 | 37 | 2 | 5.3 |
| Roston Chase | 6.0 | 1 | 16 | 1 | 2.7 |
| Romario Shepherd | 5.0 | 2 | 10 | 0 | 2.0 |
| Shamar Joseph | 4.0 | 0 | 7 | 0 | 1.8 |
Seales was the story of the innings. His 7.2-over spell was venomous angling away to right-handers, seaming back in to left-handers, and generating extra bounce. His dismissal of Rizwan (bowled for a golden duck) was arguably the ball of the series: a delivery that seamed back and kissed the off bail without even disturbing the stumps. Romario Shepherd and Shamar Joseph were quietly excellent in the powerplay, combining for 9 overs at barely 2 runs apiece (10 runs and 7 runs respectively), building pressure at both ends so Seales could operate freely. Motie and Chase were effective in the middle overs Motie’s twin dismissals of Salman Agha (c&b) and Hasan Nawaz (stumped) broke the back of any Pakistani recovery. Chase’s economy of 2.7 was a masterclass in ODI off-spin. Seales then returned for the death to blow away the lower order and complete career-best figures of 6/18 the joint second-best bowling figures by a West Indian in men’s ODI history.
Pakistan Bowling
| Bowler | Overs | Maidens | Runs | Wickets | Economy |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Naseem Shah | 10.0 | 0 | 72 | 2 | 7.2 |
| Hasan Ali | 10.0 | 1 | 60 | 0 | 6.0 |
| Abrar Ahmed | 9.0 | 1 | 34 | 2 | 3.8 |
| Mohammad Nawaz | 9.0 | 0 | 60 | 1 | 6.7 |
| Saim Ayub | 8.0 | 0 | 36 | 1 | 4.5 |
| Hussain Talat | 4.0 | 0 | 26 | 0 | 6.5 |
Pakistan’s bowling attack worked hard but was ultimately dismantled by Hope’s late assault. Abrar Ahmed was the standout with 2/34 off 9 overs at an economy of 3.8 the most controlled of the lot. Saim Ayub chipped in with Rutherford’s wicket at 4.5 economy. But Naseem Shah leaked 72 runs off his 10 overs (7.2 economy), Mohammad Nawaz conceded 60 off 9, and Hasan Ali went wicketless in 10 expensive overs. Hussain Talat’s four part-time overs cost 26. In the final seven overs alone, West Indies scored over 110 runs a collapse in discipline that proved fatal.
Key Moments & Tactical Analysis
Toss Impact: Pakistan chose to field first on a pitch they’d used twice already in the series. It was a reasonable call the surface was expected to slow down and assist spinners. However, the decision backfired spectacularly in the final 15 overs of each innings.
Powerplay Momentum: West Indies were cautious in the powerplay, reaching 36/1 off 10 overs. Pakistan controlled the first 40 overs methodically. Their mistake was leaving Hope in long enough to build his platform.
Turning Point: The real inflection came in overs 43-50. With West Indies sitting at a modest 184/6, Hope and Greaves produced an extraordinary 110-run stand in just 49 balls. Hope’s accelerating strike rate crossing 50 in 54 balls, then scoring his next 70 off just 40 transformed the match. From 220+ target territory, Pakistan suddenly faced 295. In the chase, when Seales removed Rizwan in his very first over, Pakistan’s body language collapsed instantly.
Captaincy Decisions: Shai Hope read the pitch brilliantly and marshalled his bowling attack by opening with Seales and backing him through his full spell with minimal disruption. Rizwan, on the other hand, gambled by over-relying on spin and part-timers, which allowed Hope to take the game deep and accelerate against weaker links.
Pitch Factor: The surface at Tarouba played consistently through both innings. Seales’s pace consistently in the 134-135 km/h range exploited the hard length well. Pakistan’s failure wasn’t about pitch conditions; it was about technique and temperament under pressure.
Key Stats Comparison
| Metric | West Indies | Pakistan |
|---|---|---|
| Total Runs | 294/6 | 92/10 |
| Overs Played | 50 | 29.2 |
| Run Rate | 5.88 | 3.13 |

| Best Bowler | Seales 6/18 | Abrar 2/34 |
| Fall at 10 Overs | 36/1 | 8/3 |
The contrast tells the whole story. West Indies struck 12 sixes to Pakistan’s 1, and hit 21 fours to Pakistan’s 7 an overwhelming superiority in boundary hitting. Pakistan’s 16 extras from wides and no-balls also handed West Indies free runs. The WI batting total of 294 was all the more remarkable given they were 184/6 after 42 overs 110 runs came in the final 8.1 overs alone. Seales’s 7.2-over burst in Pakistan’s chase (6/18 at an economy of 2.5) was the bowling equivalent of Hope’s batting masterclass.
