Seales stars as WI clinch first ODI series win over Pakistan since 1991
An inspired Jayden Seales led the West Indies to a crushing 202-run victory over Pakistan in the third and deciding one-day international in Trinidad on Tuesday. The fast bowler blew away the Pakistan top order en route to figures of 6-18 as the tourists were bundled out for just 92 in a chase of 295 to win. As a result of this performance, Seales registered the best-ever bowling figures against Pakistan in an ODI, breaking the almost 12-year-long record of South Africa's Dale Steyn. The former Proteas pacer had registered the figures of 6/39 against Pakistan in 2013. Seales is also the first bowler from the West Indies to take a six-wicket haul against Pakistan in an ODI. The 23-year-old speedster was adjudged as Player of the Series for his haul of 10 wickets. The Windies had reached 294-6 in their 50 overs batting first, powered by captain Shai Hope's brilliant unbeaten hundred. The Caribbean side sealed a much-needed first ODI series win against Pakistan since 1991, after being swept aside 3-0 and 5-0 in Test and T20 series respectively by Australia earlier in the summer. 'We stress on negatives a lot in West Indies,' said Hope. 'So many positives to shout about. Great to see the guys pulling off history. 'Seales is a quality bowler... He's a class act. Anything you ask him to do, he puts his hands up.' Pakistan's reply got off to a horrendous start as Seales removed Saim Ayub, Abdullah Shafique and Mohammad Rizwan inside the first three overs to reduce them to 8-3. Seales then trapped Babar Azam lbw for just nine to leave Pakistan's hopes of a 2-1 series win in tatters. 'Seales made it difficult for us. Done so throughout the series. But we lost three early wickets, that's what cost us,' said Pakistan skipper Rizwan. Left-arm spinner Gudakesh Motie took two wickets through the middle overs, before Seales returned to remove tailenders Hasan Ali and Naseem Shah and complete a six-fer. The hosts, who lost the opening game of the series, wrapped up the win when Pakistan number 11 Abrar Ahmed was run out by Roston Chase. Pakistan had started strongly with the ball after winning the toss and electing to field, as the West Indies struggled to find the boundary. The home side were 68-3 when Keacy Carty was dismissed lbw by Abrar for a 45-ball 17. The usually big-hitting Sherfane Rutherford also never got going and crawled to 15 from 40 deliveries before falling to Ayub. But Chase helped revive the innings with a quickfire 36, giving Hope some much-needed assistance. Chase was bowled by Naseem and Motie was caught and bowled by Mohammad Nawaz as the West Indies' batting effort threatened to peter out. But Hope and Justin Greaves plundered 110 runs from the final 8.1 overs in a blistering assault to get their team close to 300. Hope finished on 120 not out, with 10 fours and five sixes, completing his 18th one-day international century. He now sits behind only Brian Lara and Chris Gayle on the all-time list for most ODI tons for the Windies. Greaves more than played his part, clubbing an unbeaten 43 from just 24 balls. Overall, this is Pakistan's fourth-biggest defeat by runs in an ODI. Their biggest loss came against Sri Lanka when the side lost by 234 runs in Lahore in 2009. Agencies

First Time Since 1975: Pakistan Slump To Historic Low After 202-Run Loss To West Indies
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 T20I formats to Australia and Pakistan. Hope stroked an unbeaten 120 before pace bowler Jayden Seales destroyed Pakistan's chase with six wickets in the third and final one-day cricket international. It is the first time that Pakistan lost have lost an ODI match by a margin of more than 200 runs against the West Indies team. The two teams first played an ODI in 1975. 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. 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.

Windies break 34-year drought with Pakistan series triumph
icc The West Indies have broken a drought of 34 years with an emphatic 202-run series-clinching victory over Pakistan in Trinidad on Tuesday. Skipper Shai Hope led from the front with an unbeaten innings of 120 to help the West Indies post 294/6 and pacer Jayden Seales collected six wickets in reply as Pakistan were bundled out for just 92 to ensure the home side registered a 2-1 series triumph. It was West Indies' first bilateral ODI series victory against Pakistan since November 1991 and will give the side plenty of confidence as they attempt to earn a place at the next edition of the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup in 2027 after they missed out on qualifying for the most recent tournament in India in 2023. The West Indies had looked in trouble when Gudakesh Motie fell for five in the 42nd over and the score at 184/6, but Hope and Justin Greaves (43 not out) combined well with some lofty late hitting to ensure the hosts posted a decent total at Brian Lara Stadium. It was Hope's 18th ODI century of his career and took him past former great Desmond Haynes (17) and into third place for the most ODI centuries by a West Indies men's player with only Chris Gayle (25) and Brian Lara (19) ahead of him. Seales then ripped through Pakistan's top-order to leave the visitors reeling at 23/4 and the in-form right-armer returned at the death to clean up the tail to finish with the third best figures (6/18) by a West Indies bowler in the history of men's ODI cricket. It was also the fourth largest victory (by runs) by the West Indies in men's ODI cricket and Hope said there was plenty of positives for his side to take from the match and the series. 'We had a complete game and I am extremely proud of us beating Pakistan after so long,' Hope said. 'We stress on negatives a lot in the West Indies and there are so many positives to shout about and it was great to see the guys pulling off history.' Seales was adjudged Player of the Series for his 10 wickets across the three matches and Hope praised the young pacer. 'Seales is a quality a class act. Anything you ask him to do, he puts his hands up. He's at his best across formats,' Hope added. Scores: West Indies 294 for 6 (Hope 120*, Greaves 43*, Abrar 2-34) beat Pakistan 92 (Agha 30, Seales 6-18, Motie 2-37) by 202 runs.
