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 six 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.

Pregnant wife of former Knicks first rounder Danilo Gallinari speaks for first time since surviving shark bite
Italian sports journalist and wife of former New York Knicks first-round pick Eleonora Boi spoke publicly for the first time after being attacked by a shark in Puerto Rico. Boi, who was bitten on the thigh by a shark, recounted the experience during an appearance on "Good Morning America" on Thursday. Boi, who is pregnant, is expected to make a full recovery. She is due to deliver the couple's next child — which was not affected by the attack — in November. Despite that outcome, Boi said the experience left her "traumatized." Boi said she was wading out in waist deep water with the couple's two children when she felt a strong pain and burning on her thigh. She originally thought she had been stung by a large jellyfish but eventually realized she had been bitten by a shark. Boi said she started screaming for help. Gallinari, who was on the beach with one of the couple's daughter, ran out to help his wife. The couple was able to get everyone to safety, where a woman helped put pressure on Boi's thigh as they waited for help to arrive. Boi and Gallinari never got that woman's name, but thanked her during the appearance, per GMA. "She was an angel. Danilo was with me, and she helped so much. I would like to say thank you to this woman, because I don't know her name, and I just want to say thank you to her, because she helped a lot," said Boi. Doctors ran hours of test on Boi to ensure her baby was OK. Once that was determined, doctors performed an operation on Boi. She still makes weekly visits to the doctor, and is expected to make a full recovery. Gallinari is currently a member of Vaqueros de Bayamón, a team that plays in the Baloncesto Superior Nacional in Puerto Rico. Prior to joining them, Gallinari spent 16 seasons in the NBA. Gallinari, who is from Italy, began his NBA career with the Knicks, who selected him with the No. 6 overall pick in the 2008 NBA Draft. His selection was loudly booed by Knicks fans at the event. Gallinari recovered from that to deliver two-and-a-half solid seasons in New York before he was traded to the Denver Nuggets. Gallinari played for six other NBA teams during his career.

Washington Freedom Hope To Have Home Cricket Ground By 2026
On the back of a whirlwind, attention-grabbing slate of games at the iconic Oakland Coliseum, next year's Major League Cricket season might expand its footprint into Maryland with Washington Freedom moving closer to building a home ground. After three seasons of the six-team MLC, only Texas Super Kings have a permanent cricket facility after repurposing a vacant baseball ground in Dallas, which has become the hub of American cricket and hosted a big chunk of the MLC games so far. There is an unknown over whether San Francisco Unicorns will continue to play its home games at the Oakland Coliseum, with it currently a one-season arrangement. While this season also saw games being played in Lauderhill, 30 miles north of Miami and a regular site for international cricket, there is unlikely to be new locations in the next season or two other than possibly in Maryland. After plans to build a cricket stadium at George Mason University were scrapped, Freedom have earmarked a site in Frederick, about 45 miles north of Washington D.C. and near a local airport. But the proposal still needs local government approval with residents raising concerns over environment impacts, traffic congestion, parking allowance and effects on nearby historic sites. A decision from the council is expected in September. "I want to have a temporary stadium up and running by next year," Freedom owner Sanjay Govil told me. "We respect what the community is saying and our intent is to listen to them and come up with a reasonable approach. "We truly believe that this would be great for the D.C., Maryland and Virginia area." Freedom's vision is for a 10,000-seat multi-purpose stadium that would cater for a range of sports, including lacrosse, rugby and flag football. A home ground could also lure international cricket with the U.S. men's and women's teams likely to host series ahead of the Los Angeles Olympics, cementing the country as a big ticket destination beyond traditional boundaries. As I reported recently, the West Indies are hoping to play more cricket in the world's biggest sports market, home to a significant Caribbean diaspora. West Indies power brokers aren't just merely focused on bringing international cricket to the U.S., with regional Caribbean cricket an alluring prospect. Games between rivals Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago in Maryland has an enticing ring to it. "First things first, we need to get the stadium through but we want to bring international cricket here. That's the goal," Govil said. "There are lots of opportunities to explore with such a South Asian and Caribbean diaspora in the area, so it's all quite exciting." Freedom came within an inch of defending their MLC title after losing to MI New York in an entertaining final. Stepping into a wretched D.C. sports scene, Freedom have provided a change of luck for tortured local fans although the franchise still remains invisible to many. "The first thing is to make sure we have a great product on the field, but we are continually trying to expand the brand in a bid for more people to know who we are," Govil said. "A lot of focus right now is on getting the stadium up and going, which will be critical for developing cricket in Maryland." Govil, a highly successful tech entrepreneur born in Montreal and raised in India, has been riding the rollercoaster of sports ownership, which has expanded since he invested in a 50 per cent stake in Welsh Fire - a franchise in the Hundred competition in England. "It's stressful because I'm passionate about the sport, especially passionate about the team and the area," said Govil, who built his fortune after he moved to Washington D.C. and started Infinite Computer Solutions in 2001. "We have a great management team and it's been an amazing experience so far that we hope will be legacy defining for cricket in the D.C. area and beyond."

‘Unbelievable' Camerons are hailed as Lever's Hamer heroes
Captain Josh Gent hailed Little Lever's match-winning Camerons as 'unbelievable' after the two opening centurions helped the club win a first Hamer Cup title in more than 50 years on Sunday. Little Lever beat Padiham by 104 runs in a run-filled final at Read, with Cameron Murray and overseas amateur Ryleigh Cameron to the fore. Murray top-scored with 108 off 61 balls and Cameron added 104 off 101 as the Bolton side amassed a daunting 40-over total of 336-4. In defence, the latter's seam accounted for 4-44 from eight overs as Padiham were bowled out for 232 in 32 overs. The Australian OA was named as the player-of-the-match. 'It was unbelievable how well they played,' said Gent, of the two Australians. Murray is an Anglo-Aussie, while Cameron is fully-fledged. Gent continued: 'Especially on a big occasion, a big crowd watching and all that. 'A lot of times, people can crumble under that kind of pressure, but it was the other way with those two. They took it all in, really, and had a brilliant day. 'They're both in their first season with us. I think that was Cameron's third or fourth century of the season, and Ryleigh's been in good form as well. 'He got 92 when we beat Padiham in the league the weekend before last.' The pair shared 186 inside 22 overs after Gent had elected to bat first at Read, which is a notorious batter's paradise with a good pitch and short boundaries. 'I spoke to Will Wrathall (Read captain) before the final,' revealed Gent. 'And he said to me, 'If you get 270, don't think the game's done because it can be so difficult to defend at Read'. 'If someone had offered me 336 off 40 overs beforehand, I would have snapped your hand off. I think anyone would. But we were well aware that there was still work to do.' Padiham's local professional Iftikhar Naseer blazed 85 off 27 balls with 12 sixes, including reaching 50 off only 16 balls, to keep the game alive as he took the reply to 184-4 in the 22nd over. 'Credit to their pro, he smashed it,' said Gent. 'It was some of the biggest hitting I've ever seen. But he had a lot of work to do. 'When they were 160-4, halfway there, he had about 70. And I was thinking, 'He's still got to get another 80 here at least'. 'Yes, it was nervous times, but we just had to ride the storm. Thankfully, we did. 'It was a great day and couldn't have gone any better.' When Naseer fell caught as one of Cameron's four wickets, Padiham fell to 184-5 in the 22nd over and, in the end, lost their last six wickets for only 48 runs to hand Little Lever a first Hamer Cup title since 1972. They also became the first team to win all three main titles in the NWCL, having won the Premiership league and T20 Birtwistle Cup double in 2023. 'It's a massive achievement and great for the club that we've won everything and the first to do it,' said Gent, whose side have also qualified for next year's Lancashire Knockout Cup as a result of this triumph. 'But it will be forgotten about pretty quickly. So we've got to enjoy it now but reset, start planning and probably make more of a push to win the league next year I would have thought. 'We've probably been a little bit inconsistent in the league (fourth place at present). 'But, as far as cups have gone, it's shown we can rise to the occasion. We've won the Hamer Cup and reached the T20 final. We were in last year's Hamer Cup final as well. We're definitely a force to be reckoned with.' This was Gent's first Hamer Cup title, but he said: 'I was more happy for the club itself. There are a lot of people who put the hard work behind the scenes. 'People who turn up and play perhaps don't realise how much money it costs to put a game of cricket on, what goes on behind the scenes to allow us to have a professional, an overseas amateur, a good side and everything else that goes with it. Good facilities, nice ground, everything. 'Yes, I'm pleased to have won it because I'd never done it before. But they're the people I'm most pleased for.' Little Lever fielded a sub-pro on Sunday in South African Diego Rosier, who contributed 91 not out off 55 balls and a wicket. Their regular pro, Muhammad Junaid, had returned to Pakistan a fortnight ago. They will have Jurie Snyman (Accrington) for the remainder of the season. 'We're going to have a look around now for next year's pro,' said Gent. 'We'll have a look and see who stays around for the longest and probably go for someone like that. It would be good to have a pro who can stay for as long as possible.' And in terms of the possibility of their final star Cameron returning for a second season as overseas amateur, Gent added: 'If he wants to come back, we'd definitely have him. The ball's in his court. 'I'm pretty sure he'd want to come back. He's said he wants to, so fingers crossed we can get it sorted.'
