Pakistan skittled for 92 as West Indies wins third ODI by 202 runs for historic 2-1 series win
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.

This May Surprise You Tinnitus Experts 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 . Live Events 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.

West Indies hammer Pakistan by 202 runs: List of Pakistan's biggest ODI defeats
Pakistan suffered a 202-run loss defeat to West Indies in the series decider (Images via Screengrab) Pakistan's crushing 202-run defeat to West Indies in Tarouba on Tuesday has gone straight into the record books as one of their heaviest losses in men's ODI cricket. The result came in the series decider, with West Indies sealing a 2-1 win, making it their first bilateral ODI series victory over Pakistan since 1991. Shai Hope led from the front with an unbeaten century before pacer Jayden Seales ripped through Pakistan's batting with six wickets. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! Chasing 295, Pakistan never got going. They lost three of their top four batters for ducks as Saim Ayub, Abdullah Shafique and captain Mohammad Rizwan departed inside the first three overs. By the ninth over, the score was 23 for 4. Seales dismissed Babar Azam for nine to make it 29 for 5, and the collapse continued. Salman Agha's 30 was the top score in an innings that lasted just 29.2 overs. This margin of defeat now sits fourth on the list of Pakistan's biggest losses in ODIs by runs. The unwanted record is still held by their 234-run thrashing against Sri Lanka in Lahore in January 2009. Pakistan's heavy losses have come across different eras, from the 1992 England series to recent years, including the Asia Cup final defeat to India in 2023. The latest setback will sting even more as it came against a West Indies side that had been under pressure following a poor run across formats. Poll What do you think was the main reason for Pakistan's heavy defeat against West Indies?
