With figures of 6-18, Jayden Seales wrecked Pakistan in the third ODI of the three-match series, at Tarouba, to enter record books.
With a 94-ball 120 not out, captain Shai Hope led the charge to help the West Indies amass 294-6 after Mohammad Rizwan won the toss and opted to field at the Brian Lara Stadium. Justin Greaves played his part as well, smashing an unbeaten 24-ball 43 and adding an unbroken 110 in a mere 49 balls with Hope.

Seales then took out the first four Pakistan batters inside his first five overs. These included three with his third, 10th, and 11th balls, all for ducks. Pakistan, 23-4 after this quadruple strike, meandered along to 61-4 and then 92-7 before Seales returned to strike twice more in the space of four balls.
Seales finished with 6-18, the third-best figures for the West Indies and their best since the 1983 World Cup. In that tournament, Winston Davis had taken 7-51, which remained the only seven-wicket haul in men’s ODIs until 1991. So strong was the West Indian side that Davis did not find a place in the final.
The other figures for the West Indies better than Seales, Colin Croft’s 6-15, had come even before that, in 1981.
