Chase's 49 not out off 47 balls included two sixes and the winning boundary as West Indies scored 184-5 in 33.2 overs.
The hosts were chasing a revised target of 181 runs in 35 overs under the DLS method after multiple rain interruptions saw Pakistan's innings end at 171-7 in 37 overs. Right-arm fast bowler Jayden Seales took 3-23 in seven overs.
West Indies stumbled from 101-3 after 18 overs at Brian Lara Stadium in Tarouba, Trinidad and Tobago, to 111-5 off 24 overs, including the wicket of Sherfane Rutherford, who hit a 33-ball 45 with three sixes and four fours.
Chase and Greaves (26 off 31) shared a 77-run unbroken partnership for the sixth wicket.
West Indies earlier chose to bowl first and Hasan Nawaz again played a key role for Pakistan with 36 not out off 30 deliveries, after his unbeaten 63 in the ODI opener.
Hasan's knock on Sunday included three sixes — two of them in what turned out to be the last over of Pakistan's innings after more rain. Hussain Talat got 31 off 32 balls but most Pakistan batters were much slower, including captain Mohammad Rizwan who was trapped lbw by Gudakesh Motie for a 38-ball 16.
Pakistan beat West Indies in the first one-day international on Friday, also by five wickets.
The third and final match in the ODI series is scheduled for Tuesday at the same stadium.

Pakistan skittled for 92 as West Indies wins third ODI by 202 runs for historic 2-1 series win
TAROUBA, Trinidad and Tobago: Shai Hope helped deliver some long overdue good news for the West Indies with a century to inspire the Caribbean cricketers to a series-clinching, 202-run win Tuesday over Pakistan. 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.

Pakistan face West Indies in Tarouba in ODI series decider today
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan will lock horns with the West Indies in the third and final fixture of the three-match series between the two sides today, Tuesday, at Trinidad and Tobago. The three-match series between the two nations is tied at 1-1, with West Indies winning the last fixture between the two sides on Sunday. Pakistan had earlier beaten the West Indies by five wickets on Friday in the first ODI courtesy of a stellar knock by middle-order batter and ODI debutant Hassan Nawaz. 'The third and last one-day international between Pakistan and the West Indies will be played at Tarouba on Tuesday,' state broadcaster Radio Pakistan reported. 'The match will start at 6:30 in the evening.' Pakistan couldn't clinch the series on Sunday after the West Indies successfully chased a target of 181 off 35 overs based on the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) method in a rain-hit match. Player of the match Roston Chase and Justin Greaves put on an unbeaten 77-run stand off 72 balls to help the hosts beat Pakistan. Pakistan had posted 171-7 in 37 overs batting first, on the back of valuable thirties from Hasan Nawaz and Hussain Talat in a stop-start innings with rain intervals in between. The Green Shirts will be looking for former Pakistan captain Babar Azam to shrug off his poor form and score big for the visitors in the third ODI. After a promising start in the first ODI, Azam was bowled by Jayden Seales for 0 off 3 balls in the second match. Mohammad Nawaz and Hasan Ali took two wickets each in the second ODI, with leg-spinner Abrar Ahmed returning figures of 1/23 from seven overs. Pakistan had earlier clinched the preceding T20I series 2-1 against the West Indies last week.

Pakistan face fifth bowler dilemma ahead of West Indies decider
Pakistan captain Mohammad Rizwan acknowledged a dilemma over the fifth bowler and said they would take a late decision on their team combination for Tuesday's series decider following their defeat in the second one-day international on Sunday. Pakistan, who won the opening ODI by five wickets, posted a competitive 171-7 in 37 overs in a rain-truncated match but West Indies prevailed by five wickets to draw level in the three-match series. Pakistan's part-time duo of Saim Ayub and Salman Agha conceded a combined 66 runs in seven wicketless overs as West Indies cruised home. 'You could say our fifth bowler gave away too many runs but in recent years, Salman Agha and Saim Ayub have both bowled well for us,' Rizwan said after the match. 'Saim didn't have the best day today, but he performed well in the T20Is. That's just part of the game.' Rizwan said they could not read the conditions and several rain delays did not help their cause. 'Honestly, the weather forecast has been completely different from expectations, and it's hard to read. 'We're keeping our options open and will finalize the XI after assessing the conditions.' Pakistan had won the preceding Twenty20 series 2-1.
