West Indies vs Pakistan | Pakistan tour of West Indies, 2025 | 3rd ODI

West Indies come back from 1-0 down and win against Pakistan for the first time in 34 years. As Shai Hope just said, they have stressed a lot on the negative things but they'll be celebrating this series and hope the light is near of a very, very dark tunnel of their cricketing road. For Pakistan, they too are somewhat in a similar position as West Indies. They have gotten a reality check once again. The trophy has been handed over to Shai Hope. A fantastic series comes to an end. Time to end this tour. Goodbye and cheers from our side.

Shai Hope, the captain of West Indies is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH. He says in that situation it was important for someone to play a long innings after losing a couple of wickets in quick time, so he just tried to take the game deep. Tells Justin Greaves played a wonderful innings but it was Roston Chase who gave the impetus for a big score. Shares they stress a lot on the negative things but they'll be proud about this win and the series. Reckons he loves how Jayden Seales prepares before the game, he is a class player and gives everything for the team.

Mohammad Rizwan, the skipper of Pakistan says they were in the game for almost 40 overs but lost the momentum in the last 10 overs. Credits Shai Hope's innings and feels they executed the plans, but were a bit unlucky. Tells he was not sure to bowl Abrar Ahmed against Shai Hope in the death as Hope was batting well later in the innings.

Jayden Seales wins the PLAYER OF THE SERIES AWARD. He says they had the team plan and they stuck to it. Shares the team analyst and the coach helped him a lot. Tells the wicket was a bit up and down and he just tried to bowl the top of the stumps. Mentions he has learned the length in the ODIs and it comes naturally to him.

...Presentation...

Earlier, West Indies were in a bit of trouble. Losing wickets regularly and unable to partner Shai Hope. At one stage, it felt like the West Indies would be rattled under 250 but a late flourish from the skipper, Shai Hope along with Justin Greaves helped West Indies gather a lot of momentum as they finished with some cushion runs in the series decider. Let alone the West Indies score, Pakistan failed to even get close to Shai Hope's overall score.

Pakistan tried to rebuild after the top four went for scores of 0, 0, 9, 0. Salman Agha hit a couple of boundaries to the spinners, Gudakesh Motie and Roston Chase but the Windies bowlers changed the pace of the delivery, went slow and eventually gathered a lot of turn off the surface, resulting in wickets. Once the likes of Salman Agha and Hasan Nawaz fell, it was just a procession.

Discipline, relentless, accurate! As if someone has rolled back the years and shown what the West Indies used to bowl like. Absolute gun bowling! Jayden Seales deserves a lot of applause. The West Indies had enough runs to play with, but they needed a good start, which Jayden Seales provided. He was right on the money with the ball, which was doing a bit off the surface. Jayden Seales ripped through the top four to put West Indies in a commanding position and choke Pakistan out of breath.

Rejoice for the West Indies! A series win after a long time! Was it worth the wait? Oh, yes! Rejoice in the West Indies camp and a lot of happy faces all over the ground as they have not just won but have hammered Pakistan in today's game. The home team have defeated Pakistan for the first time in 34 years in an ODI format. From getting hammered by Australia earlier to losing the T20I series on this tour, West Indies have bounced back in style. A victory that will smell good for a long time and could potentially build the base for a bright future.

Abrar Ahmed is the last man in.
