Pakistan bowled out for 92 as West Indies wins 3rd ODI by 202 runs for historic 2-1 series win
It was the first bilateral ODI series won by West Indies against Pakistan since 1991 and ended a run of home series defeats across the Test and Twenty20 formats to Australia and Pakistan.
Hope stroked an unbeaten 120 before pace bowler Jayden Seales destroyed Pakistan's chase with six wickets in the third and final one-day cricket international.
The West Indies captain said he was extremely proud of his team.
Hope added there'd been a lot of stress on negatives in the game but now there was 'positives to shout about" for West Indies cricket.
The big win came in the wake of a two-day emergency summit for Caribbean cricket. Hope attended part of the summit, along with greats including Brian Lara and Clive Lloyd, to help create strategies to lift West Indies back toward the top of the international game.
The summit was called after a West Indian lineup scored just 27 runs in its second innings – one run short of the all-time test record for low totals — while losing the third of three tests to Australia.
After losing eight straight matches to Australia and then losing a Twenty20 series 2-1 to Pakistan in Florida, West Indies lost the ODI series-opener to Pakistan last week by five wickets.
West Indies leveled the series with a five-wicket victory in the second ODI to stoke hope of a revival and dominated the third.
Pakistan was dismissed for 92 in 29.2 overs Tuesday after West Indies posted 294-6 at Brian Lara Stadium in Tarouba, Trinidad and Tobago.
Hope hit five sixes and 10 fours in his 94-ball knock, sharing an unbroken seventh-wicket stand with Justin Greaves of 110 runs in around eight overs.
Greaves was 43 not out in only 24 deliveries, including two sixes and four fours.
Pakistan collapsed early in its chase to 23-4 in the ninth over, with three ducks from its top four batters. Opener Saim Ayub was caught behind on the third ball of the innings, Abdullah Shafique also failed to score, and Pakistan was 8-3 when captain Mohammad Rizwan was bowled by Seales for a golden duck in the third over.
Seales took his fourth wicket by trapping Babar Azam (9) lbw. Seales finished with figures of 6-18 from 7.2 overs.
Hasan Nawaz (13) advanced and was stumped against the bowling of Gudakesh Motie and Roston Chase bowled Hussain Talat (1), leaving Pakistan on 62-6 in the 21st over. Salman Agha top-scored for Pakistan with a 49-ball 30.
The match and series ended with another golden duck when Abrar Ahmed was run out by Chase.

‘I don't think the quality was as good as '05': Michael Atherton on Anderson-Tendulkar when compared to 2005 Ashes
The recently concluded Anderson-Tendulkar trophy ended up in a 2-2 draw. There were many nerve-wracking moments through the series, and also a few heartwarming ones. However, as far as the quality of cricket goes, former England cricketer Michael Atherton said he preferred the 2005 Ashes, which is touted as the best Test series in the modern era, over the 2025 England vs India one. 'I don't think the quality was as good as '05. I don't think I've seen a better series than the '05 Ashes. It was a great team on the decline and the emerging team, absolutely great players at the top of their game,' Atherton said while speaking on Sky Sports. 'But it was probably the best series since '05. The 2023 Ashes was fantastic, but I'll put this series as the best series since '05 because of those dramatic moments, like Woakes and like Rishabh Pant,' Atherton added. Former Indian cricketer R Ashwin said this one is better than the 2025 England-Australia showdown. 'A lot of people are comparing this series with the 2005 Ashes, but I think this series was slightly better than even the 2005 Ashes – because there was so much more imperfection, from both sides,' Ashwin said on his YouTube channel, Ash ki Baat. 'If you look at that Australian team, there was Glenn McGrath, Shane Warne, you had Michael Kasprowicz, Shaun Tait. From this side [England] you had Simon Jones, Steve Harmison, you had Ashley Giles. There was a lot of experience in the bowling attacks. There was experience in the batting too. There was a lot of hard-fought cricket, where you couldn't see a lot of mistakes. It was hard-fought.' While Ashwin did acknowledge this as a good series, he also mentioned it was an imperfect series. 'In this series, there were a lot of mistakes,' Ashwin added. 'But the young players have corrected their mistakes and gotten better through the series. You had somebody like KL Rahul who's not put a foot wrong in the series. Then you had somebody like a Rishabh Pant or Shubman Gill, who made errors – both got run out once – they played some poor shots and got out at the crucial moments.'

I'm just as surprised as anyone when I get a wicket: Maxwell
In the second T20I between Australia and South Africa, Glenn Maxwell took on an unusual role — bowling inside the PowerPlay. Between the 2022 T20 World Cup and this series, he had bowled only five PowerPlay overs in T20Is. So when he dismissed South Africa captain Aiden Markram, the spin-bowling all-rounder reacted animatedly. By his own admission, Maxwell is just as surprised as anyone when he gets a wicket. 'I love getting wickets.' Maxwell told 'It's very surprising anytime I get anyone out. I'm there to do a job in the PowerPlay and I'm trying to execute that as well as I can.' With an eye on the 2026 T20 World Cup in India and Sri Lanka, Maxwell is looking to build his experience bowling under fielding restrictions. 'I think in the subcontinent you might be able to get a little bit more out of it as a spinner early on,' Maxwell, who has 49 T20I wickets, said. 'Especially that new ball, the hard seam, being able to grip on those dry surfaces. So it might be something we think about head forward,' he added. Maxwell has also spent most of his career shuffling through batting positions, adapting to team needs — whether taking on a favourable matchup or finishing the innings. 'I've been a bit of the shuffler around the order, up and down,' the 36-year-old said. 'I'm filling holes at the moment.' 'Even during the West Indies series, trying to combat Akeal Hosein (by) going up the top, this series going a little bit lower, trying to manage that back end (of the innings). (I'm) trying to play whatever role is needed for me in this side and just try and be as adaptable as possible,' Maxwell said.
