All-round WI level ODI series
West Indies romped to a series-levelling five-wicket victory over visitors Pakistan in the rain-hit second One-Day International match here at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Trinidad and Tobago on Sunday evening. West Indies were set a target of 181 off 35 overs based on Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) method, which they surmounted with 10 balls to spare as player of the match Roston Chase and Justin Greaves put on an unbeaten 77-run stand off 72 balls. Pakistan had posted 171-7 in 37 overs on the back of valuable thirties from Hasan Nawaz and Hussain Talat in a stop-start innings with rain intervals in between. West Indies' top-scorer Chase (49 not out, 47b, 4x4s, 2x6s) walked in to bat with the home team 102-4 in 19.2 overs. He was aided by no.7 batter Justin Greaves, who contributed a 31-ball 26 including a solitary six to the match-winning stand. The duo weathered 29 boundary-less balls in the beginning of the partnership before Chase's two sixes in the 27th over consigned Saim to 16 runs bringing the equation down to 47 needed off 48 balls. From then on, they reaped a boundary in each of the overs except 29th keeping the run-flow intact. At the beginning of the chase, Hasan Ali struck twice removing both the opening batters with just 12 runs on the board. Soon Abrar removed Keacy Carty for a sluggish 16 off 42 balls comprising of one four as West Indies slid to 48-3 in 12.4 overs. Skipper Shai Hope then joined forces with Sherfane Rutherford and the latter went berserk in the 17th and 18th overs hitting three sixes and four fours against Shaheen Shah Afridi and Salman Ali Agha taking 37 runs off 12 balls. An over later Mohammad Nawaz returned to end the 54-run fourth-wicket stand removing both Hope (32, 35b, 2x4s, 1x6) and Rutherford (45, 33b, 4x4s, 3x6s) in 20th and 22nd overs, respectively with West Indies requiring 73 off 78 balls thereon, which was then dealt with by Chase and Greaves successfully. For Pakistan, apart from Hasan's two strikes, Nawaz and Abrar returned economical figures of 2-17 and 1-23, respectively from their seven overs each. Earlier, Pakistan were asked to bat first and they lost their opening batter Saim Ayub (23, 31b, 4x4s, 1x6) and Babar Azam (three-ball duck) to Jayden Seales in the ninth over 37 runs on the board. Mohammad Rizwan (16, 38b, 2x4s) tried to steer the innings with a 27-run stand with Abdullah Shafique (26, 40b, 3x4s) and a 24-run stand Hussain Talat (31, 32b, 4x4s) but West Indies kept striking at regular intervals with all three departing with 114 runs in 26.4 overs. In the subsequent over Salman Ali Agha fell for nine as Pakistan slid to 114-6 before Hasan Nawaz's three-six laden 36 not out off 30 balls and Shaheen Shah Afridi's seven-ball 11 gave Pakistan a fighting total of 171-7 as a rain interval forced the innings to be closed at 37-over mark. For West Indies, Seales bagged three wickets, while Chase, Shamar Joseph, Gudakesh Motie and Jediah Blades dismissed one batter each. Scores in brief Match 2 of 3: West Indies beat Pakistan by five wickets (DLS method) Pakistan 171-7, 37 overs (Hasan Nawaz 36 not out, Hussain Talat 31, Abdullah Shafique 26, Saim Ayub 23; Jayden Seales 3-23) West Indies (target 181 runs from 35 overs) 184-5, 33.2 overs (Roston Chase 49 not out, Sherfane Rutherford 45, Shai Hope 32, Justin Greaves 26 not out; Mohammad Nawaz 2-17, Hasan Ali 2-35) Player of the match – Roston Chase (West Indies)

Rizwan backs Pakistan bowlers to bounce back in ODI series decider
Pakistan captain Mohammad Rizwan backed his bowling group to find form as his side's three-match ODI series against the West Indies heads into a deciding game. The West Indies romped to a series-levelling five-wicket victory over visitors Pakistan in the rain-hit second ODI here at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Trinidad and Tobago on Monday (IST). Batting first, Pakistan posted 171/7 in 37 overs on the back of valuable thirties from Hasan Nawaz and Hussain Talat in a stop-start innings with rain intervals in between. In response, the West Indies were set a target of 181 off 35 overs based on Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) method, which they chased down with 10 balls to spare as player of the match Roston Chase and Justin Greaves put on an unbeaten 77-run stand off 72 balls. Chase and Greaves took a particular liking to Pakistan's part-timers of Saim Ayub and Salman Agha, with the pair each conceding 33 runs from their spell as the West Indies squared the series at 1-1 ahead of the final match at the same ground on Tuesday. While Rizwan wouldn't confirm the duo will retain their place in Pakistan's side for the series decider, he backed them to perform well should they win selection for the eagerly-awaited contest. 'You could say our fifth bowler gave away too many runs (today), but in recent years, Salman Agha and Saim Ayub have both bowled well for us. Saim didn't have the best day today, but he performed well in the T20Is. That's just part of the game. 'Honestly, the weather forecast has been completely different from expectations, and it's hard to read. We're keeping our options open and will finalise the XI (for the series decider) after assessing the conditions,' Rizwan was quoted by the ICC. The victory for the West Indies was their first over Pakistan in more than six years, with their most previous win against the Asian side prior to this match coming at the 2019 edition of the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup when they cruised to a seven-wicket triumph in Nottingham. 'We wanted to come back from the loss, we wanted to get better and happy with the win today. He's a class act, he's doing some great things on the ODi format, growing from strength to strength. It was a bit tough to bat on, it was a lot slower but great to see the guys in the middle overs come in and great to see the guys get over the line. Sherfane gave us that impetus and then Chase and Greaves sealed the win for us,' Windies skipper Shai Hope said. West Indies, who missed qualification for the 50-over World Cup in India in 2023 and are chasing a return to the major tournament in 2027. Agencies

Proteas Women can still get better despite series win over West Indies, says coach Mandla Mashimbyi
The Proteas Women celebrate their victory over the West Indies in the ODI series in Barbados. Photo: Cricket South Africa Image: Cricket South Africa Recently appointed Proteas Women coach Mandla Mashimbyi was chuffed with his team's performance in the Caribbean, after defeating the West Indies 2-1 in an ODI series on Tuesday night. The Proteas thrashed the home side by 166 runs via the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) method after various deluges of rain throughout the evening had interrupted the game. Mashimbyi said the SA team did well to come back after losing the first encounter by four wickets, and had shown real improvement in their bowling, which lacked discipline in some of their games, according to some of the players. 'I'm excited for the girls. In the last few months, they've put in the work, so to come to the West Indies and win a series is a really good thing for them,' Mashimbyi said. 'To come here and put in the performances we've seen, and we still feel we are not where we need to be... and they understand that. 'I'm just happy that they are trying to put things together, but winning at the same time.' Video Player is loading.

Next Stay Close ✕ The batting is an area of expertise that the ladies have thrived in over recent tours, putting up 300 runs on more than one occasion last month in Columbo, Sri Lanka, during the tri-series. This time round, in the West Indies, the Proteas looked deadly with the bat again – with opening batters Laura Wolvaardt and Tazmin Brits doing most of the damage during this ODI series. Brits scored a century on Tuesday night with a polished 101, alongside Wolvaardt's 75 to help the Proteas reach 278 in 45.5 overs – a score they successfully defended. There were also stand-out performances in the previous match, with Nondumiso Shangase scoring an 'emotional' half-century. The win was a milestone triumph for coach Mashimbyi as well, as it was his first tour of the West Indies as the head coach of the Proteas Women. Looking ahead to the World Cup in September, which will be played in India, Mashimbyi said the past two tours have given them an opportunity to find their rhythm and order when it comes to the batting line-up, even citing their own 'Bomb Squad' of sorts. Nondumiso Shangase was emotional after hitting a half-century for the Proteas Women against the West Indies. Photo: Cricket South Africa Image: Cricket South Africa 'In terms of our batting order, it's about where you can get maximum impact from each player,' Mashimbyi said. 'It's not necessarily numbers, but where the player can actually put the team in a good position to win matches and that's how we look at it. 'We have tried a couple of combinations, but I was happy with what I've seen. 'Nondi's (Shangase) 50 was nice to see, and batting at three. You've got Dercky, who can bat anywhere in the order, but we know she can have more of an impact batting lower in the order.

England need 246 to claim ODI series clean sweep against West Indies
England need 246 to claim a 3-0 clean sweep of the West Indies in the Metro Bank one-day international series following fifties from Sherfane Rutherford and Gudakesh Motie in a reduced contest. After arriving to the ground late for the third ODI at the Kia Oval because of heavy traffic in the area, the Windies fell to 28 for three and then 154 for seven, with Adil Rashid taking three wickets. Rutherford had missed the Windies' defeats at Edgbaston and Sophia Gardens after deciding to stay at the Indian Premier League but he provided some much-needed ballast following their top-order failure. After his dismissal for 70 off 71 balls, Motie (63) took the baton alongside Alzarri Joseph (41) in a blistering 91-run stand off 68 deliveries to lift the Windies to 251 for nine – with England needing five runs fewer on Duckworth-Lewis-Stern. A combination of a couple of broken down buses, a traffic lights failure and roadworks over a River Thames bridge contributed to the Windies' tardiness from their hotel three-and-a-half miles away, which – along with a 95-minute rain delay in their innings – led to a shortened 40-over game. The tourists' practice time was shortened as play got under way half-an-hour after the scheduled start and they were quickly three down in next to no time as Evin Lewis, who was back following a groin injury, and fellow opener Brandon King miscued to catchers in the ring. When captain Shai Hope was bounced out by Saqib Mahmood for the second time in the series, it seemed they could vanish without trace. Rutherford led the recovery well, finding some fluency through the off-side while he was strong off his hips and put on 62 with Keacy Carty, before the Cardiff centurion perished for 29 shortly after the rain break when chopping on off Rashid, who then claimed two in two balls. Justin Greaves was caught well low down by Ben Duckett, who put down two catches at Cardiff, while Roston Chase hung out his bat to his first ball and nicked to Joe Root, who also spilled a catch last time out. Number eight batter Motie smoked Rashid's hat-trick ball for six but Rutherford departed when pulling Brydon Carse to Harry Brook, who took an excellent chance diving to his right at mid-on. Hands, Harry 👏 — England Cricket (@englandcricket) June 3, 2025 England's hopes of a quick finish to the innings were dashed by Motie and Joseph, though, with the lower-order pair feasting on some wayward bowling, with the hosts guilty of overusing the short ball. Mahmood then Carse were both pulled into the stands by Motie, while Will Jacks was taken to task by number 10 Joseph, who top-edged to Matthew Potts at short third to end a buccaneering union.
