West Indies Triumph Over Pakistan in ODI Series Finale

West Indies Clinch Series with Dominant ODI Victory

In a stunning conclusion to the ODI series, the West Indies secured a commanding victory against Pakistan, winning by 202 runs. Pakistan, chasing a target of 295, faced a dramatic collapse, bowled out for just 92 runs in 29.2 overs. The batting lineup struggled to form any partnerships, leading to a rapid loss of wickets.

The match was particularly disappointing for Pakistan, as five players, including Saim Ayub, Abdullah Shafique, Mohammad Rizwan, and Abrar Ahmed, failed to score. Salman Ali Agha was the only player to show some resistance, contributing 30 runs, but he lacked support from his teammates.

Babar Azam's performance was underwhelming once again, as he managed only 9 runs, extending his streak to 72 international innings without a century, raising concerns about his current form.

Following the match, Pakistan's captain Mohammad Rizwan reflected on the team's defeat, acknowledging the West Indies' strong performance and praising captain Shai Hope for his impressive innings. Rizwan noted, 'We understood this was the third game given a Test across four innings was played on this deck. The momentum in the last 10 overs took it away as we were on top for the first 40 overs. We thought 220 was chaseable here. The credit goes to them. Credit to Hope. The execution was good but the edges went in their favour. Hope batted well and played some good shots. We had Ayub and Salman bowling. We thought Abrar would come and bowl. But Hope batted well and hence he didn’t complete his overs. Seales was bowling well. He troubled us through the series. We needed partnerships and needed to spend some time.'
