West Indies levels series with a 5-wicket victory over Pakistan in the second ODI
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 won the preceding Twenty20 series 2-1 played in Florida.

Who is Nqaba Peter? Young SA wrist-spinner tipped as Tahir's successor
Nqabayomzi 'Nqaba' Peter is a promising 22-year-old wrist-spinner who has rapidly climbed South Africa's cricketing ranks despite limited experience in the longer formats. Peter was seen playing for the Proteas during the 2nd T20I encounter against Australia and even took a brilliant catch to dismiss Cameron Green as Maphaka's first over on the brought his team's 2nd wicket in the powerplay on the night. Peter got a surprise inclusion in the ODI squad for the series against Afghanistan last year as he raised eyebrows with just four List A wickets to his name at the time. His selection, however, reflected South Africa's urgent need to groom the next generation of wrist-spinners as veterans Tabraiz Shamsi and Imran Tahir near the end of their international careers. Peter's debut vs WI Peter made his international debut in May, 2024 during the T20I series against West Indies, where he impressed with a 2-32 spell on debut. Though he struggled in his second match and in a subsequent 'A' tour to Sri Lanka, his T20 credentials remain solid. He was the second-highest wicket-taker in the 2024 CSA T20 Challenge, grabbing 20 wickets in 10 games at an economy of 5.84. His match-winning 4-18 in the semi-final against Northerns showcased his potential under pressure. With a unique high-arm action that generates bounce and pace, Peter's bowling style evokes comparisons to Imran Tahir. Recently picked for the white-ball tour of Australia, he has made an appearance in the 2nd T20I. However, the youngster didn't have a good start to his night as Tim David smashed him all across the park as he gave 19 runs in his first over on the night. Despite the beating he took, South Africa clearly sees him as a long-term investment and will give him more chances as he progresses.

New Zealand all-rounder Brooke Halliday quotes
For New Zealand all-rounder Brooke Halliday, getting accustomed to the heat in India is the biggest takeaway from the three-match ODI series in Ahmedabad last October and her ongoing two-week training stint at the CSK High Performance Centre (HPC) here. Halliday is part of a group of 10 New Zealand women players training here as preparation for the upcoming women's ODI World Cup (Sept. 30 to Nov. 2) in India and Sri Lanka. 'It's really hot over here. The biggest adjustment coming from New Zealand is probably the heat and how you deal with that. If we're in New Zealand right now, it's probably around 10 degrees. So, just being here for two weeks, I'm sure the body is going to appreciate that kind of adjustment to the heat. And hopefully, it means that again when we come back in October, that period of adjusting won't be as long,' she said at the CSK HPC ground. 'Then, the second part of it would just be the conditions. Just in the last seven days, I think we've kind of batted on four or five different kinds of pitches that do something slightly different. It means that we have to learn how to adjust and adapt really quickly. That's the biggest thing we learned in October last year and also in this trip. Hopefully, it means that when we come back in October, we'll be one step ahead already,' she added. Halliday adapted to the conditions sufficiently for her to become the top run-getter in the ODI series. The left-hander scored 133 runs at 44.33 across the three matches. Talking about the differences in facing spin in New Zealand and India, she said: 'You probably get a little bit more turn over here, and then the second part is the slowness. New Zealand is probably a little bit more skiddier.' The 29-year-old said she's been specifically focusing on batting against leg-spin in training.

Rohit Sharma quashes retirement rumours, links up with a familiar face to regain fitness, prepare for Australia ODIs
Rohit Sharma has resumed training after returning to India. He shared a photo of himself in the gym alongside former India batting coach Abhishek Nayar. After a brief break from cricket, he has shifted focus back on training to regain fitness ahead of the Australia ODIs in October. The 38-year-old announced his retirement from Test cricket in the middle of IPL 2025 ahead of the England tour. The decision came as a shock to many, as a few days later, Virat Kohli also bid adieu to the format. Rohit Sharma has resumed training ahead of the Australia ODIs.(Instagram/@rohitsharma45) The last time he played for India was in the Champions Trophy, where he led the Men in Blue to the title triumph with a win over New Zealand in the final. Meanwhile, he has not officially stepped down from the ODI captaincy position, but speculations are rife that the BCCI might give him the big responsibility to Shubman Gill, who recently took over the charge of the Test team. Meanwhile, a report in Dainik Jagran claims that Rohit could soon call time on his ODI career as well. With the Bangladesh series in August now cancelled, India's next 50-over outing will be an away series against Australia from October 19 to 25. The publication further reported that both Rohit and Virat Kohli may bring the curtains down on their ODI journeys after the Australia tour. However, Rohit's return to training suggests he has no intention of stepping away from the 50-over format anytime soon. Rohit went on a break in the UK with his family after the completion of the IPL, where he also went to watch the fifth Test between India and England at the Oval, London. He recently returned to India and, a couple of days later, was spotted in a Mumbai gym, resuming his training with Nayar. Rohit Sharma posted an Instagram story with Abhishek Nayar in a gym.(Instagram/@rohitsharma45) Abhishek Nayar named head coach of WPL team Off the field, Rohit and Nayar share a long-standing bond that has stood the test of time. The former India coach has been a constant source of support for Rohit, especially during challenging phases in his career. After being left out of the 2011 ODI World Cup squad, Rohit turned to Nayar for guidance, and even today, he continues to train with him to sharpen his skills and maintain peak fitness. In the 2025 IPL, Rohit endured a slow start but bounced back strongly, later crediting Nayar for his resurgence in a heartfelt social media post. Nayar, who was removed as the Indian men's team assistant coach recently, less than a year into the job, recently joined UPW after the franchise parted ways with Jon Lewis, who had been in charge of the team for the last three seasons. The former Indian cricketer also re-joined the KKR camp in the middle of IPL 2025 after getting sacked by the BCCI.
