All-round WI level ODI series

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.

Rizwan expects improved performances from part-timer bowlers following loss to WI in 2nd ODI
Tarouba [Trinidad and Tobago: Pakistan's skipper Mohammed Rizwan backed his part-timer bowlers to deliver a much better outing against West Indies in the third and final decider ODI following the team's five-wicket loss at Tarouba. The West Indies proved too strong in the second ODI of the series in Trinidad, with Roston Chase and Justin Greaves combining for an unbeaten partnership of 77 to help the Caribbean side chase down the adjusted victory target of 181 in a rain-affected contest at Brian Lara Stadium. 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 would not 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," Rizwan said post-match as quoted by ICC. "Saim did not have the best day today, but he performed well in the T20Is. That is just part of the game." "Honestly, the weather forecast has been completely different from expectations, and it is hard to read. We are keeping our options open and will finalise the XI (for the series decider) after assessing the conditions," he concluded. The victory for the West Indies was their first over Pakistan in more than six years, with their most recent 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. The landscape is very different now for the West Indies, who missed qualification for the most recent 50-over World Cup in India in 2023 and are chasing a return to the major tournament in 2027, according to coach Daren Sammy and skipper Shai Hope. Sammy said prior to the series against Pakistan that the matches were serving as preparation for the next 50-over World Cup, and Hope confirmed the West Indies are trying to improve in all facets of the game. "We always speak about partnerships, and we just want to get better in every area, so I am happy with the win today," Hope said. "It was great to see our guys adapt in the middle overs, and credit has to go to Chase and Greaves for sealing the deal and to Sherfane (Rutherford) too, who gave us impetus," he concluded.
