Pak skittled for 92 as WI win 3rd ODI by 202 runs
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.

Glenn Maxwell lauds Brevis for rising above early AB de Villiers comparison challenges: 'All the Baby AB stuff'
Glenn Maxwell heaps praise on the young South African batter Dewald Brevis for doing all the hard work and overcoming the pressure of being compared to AB de Villiers. Dewald Brevis is creating continuous rumblings in world cricket after scoring a blistering 41-ball century against Australia in the second T20I of the recently concluded three-match series. Nicknamed 'Baby AB' due to his striking resemblance to South African legend AB de Villiers, Brevis is making significant strides in international cricket. So much so that even Australian all-rounder Glenn Maxwell has acknowledged the talent of the 22-year-old. Glenn Maxwell revealed he first noticed Brevis due to the significant impact he made at the 2022 U19 World Cup for South Africa. Maxwell said that comparisons with De Villiers pushed him to the top in the queue for selection in the South African team, but he also had to bear the large expectations due to the same reason. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'Brevis has got a lot of talent. It was hard not to see the highlights when he played the U19 World Cup for South Africa", Maxwell told media, as quoted by I_ndian Express_. All the Baby AB stuff. It's a pretty heavy burden he had to have early in his career. He probably got fast-tracked a little bit into the South African side.' .

'He's gone away, worked on his game, and he's come back playing beautifully. His bat swing is really pure—he's hard to stop when he gets going,' he added. Riding on the momentum of the century in the 2nd T20I, Brevis scored an emphatic 53 off 26 balls in the 3rd T20I at the Cazalys Stadium, and inspired SA to post a fair total of 172/7 in 20 overs. However, it was the home side that got the last laugh. Glenn Maxwell smashed a flawless 62 off 26 balls to guide the Aussies towards victory. On the back of Maxwell's exceptional knock and Mitchell Marsh's vital 54-run innings, Australia clinched the victory in a thrilling match by two wickets with one ball to spare. With the win, Australia won the series 2-1.
