Overview

  • Shai Hope anchored the hosts’ 294/6 at Brian Lara Stadium with an unbeaten 120, sharing a 110-run seventh-wicket stand with Justin Greaves.
  • Jayden Seales claimed career-best figures of 6-18 from 7.2 overs to shatter Pakistan’s chase and set a new mark for best ODI bowling figures against the side.
  • Pakistan’s chase collapsed to 92 all out in 29.2 overs as five batsmen—including captain Mohammad Rizwan—recorded ducks in a top-order meltdown.
  • The victory ended West Indies’ 34-year drought in bilateral ODI series against Pakistan and ranked among Pakistan’s heaviest defeats by runs.
  • Pakistan’s batting frailties prompted intensified calls for team and board reforms ahead of the Asia Cup 2025 and the World Cup qualification cycle.
