West Indies vs Pakistan, 3rd ODI at Tarouba, WI vs PAK, Aug 12 2025 - Match Result

Hope collects the series trophy and goes to the banner reading ODI champions. His team-mates await, the crowd await. Fireworks go off as Jediah Blades raises the trophy. Daren Sammy's ready with a beer as the support staff joins in. Lovely pictures to end the series. The comeback series win also helps WI work towards automatic qualification for the 2027 ODI WC. Pakistan left with some soul-searching to do at the end of the tour. Thanks for joining us for the coverage. For now, it's goodbye from me, Ekanth, Danyal Rasool, whose match report will be out soon, and our scorer, Chetan Kumar.

Shai Hope, POTM and WI captain In that situation, it was important for someone to go deep. Wanted to give the best finish, something we struggled in the last couple of games. We hard a target of 270-280 if we batted well in the last ten overs. Roston gave us impetus, Greaves did well too. We had a complete game. Extremely proud of us beating Pakistan after so long. We stress on negatives a lot in WI. So many positives to shout about. Great to see the guys pulling off history. Seales is a quality bowler. More excited about his preparation sometimes. He's a class act. Anything you ask him to do, he puts his hands up. He's at his best across formats.

Mohammad Rizwan, Pakistan captain We knew this was the third game on this pitch. We were good for 40 overs. Thought we can keep it to 220, maybe it'd have been different had we started better. Credit to Shai Hope. Our execution was good, some edges went away but Hope's power hitting was commendable. You can say we don't five bowlers but Saim, Salman bowl. Thought of getting Abrar back late but wasn't allowed to by WI's attack. Seales made it difficult for us. Done so throughout the series. But we lost three early wickets, that's what cost us

Jayden Seales, POTS We had team plans, executed it to the best of our ability. Analysts, bowling showed me how to bowl in ODIs, I've practised and am reaping rewards. We wanted to be on a good length and hit the stumps for all batters, especially on this pitch. Natural in ODIs now for me to keep it on a length or be slightly be back. Hope to keep that up going forward. Takes a lot of time and training, even in downtimes.

Stat from Sampath - Only the fourth 200+ run win for West Indies in ODIs

Joel: "Much needed one for WI after the series they had with Australia. And for Pakistan a ODI series loss against WI after 34 years."

Wayne Collymore: "Well done WI. Great bowling by seale, a consistent performer. The captain Hope must have been proud of Seale's performsnce after scoring a match winning knock of 120 runs not out. Captain Shai Hope is a class act"

Usman: "Welcome to Pakistan cricket Mike Hesson. "

Ramesh: "Let us not forget Chase's innings.His innings was the turning point of the match."

4:02pm Seales gives another thumbs up. Hugs and high-fives among the staff. It's been a game of two halves. WI were slow off the blocks. But Hope - who now has the third-most centuries for WI behind Lara, Gayle - and Chase started the change with bat. Greaves added to it. Seales then built on that with a searing opening spell. Got both openers, who tried to attack. Bowled arguably the ball of the series to get Rizwan. Trapped Babar lbw after beating him on the flick. The game was effectively dead in the powrplay. Salman showed some fight, M Nawaz did face 40 balls but didn't get going. Motie prised him out. M Nawaz stayed put but Seales' return blew away the tail to finish a career-best 6 for 18.

Can Seales get seven?

Can Nawaz keep the strike?

Hasan's okay

sheikh: "4 more runs to avoid follow on..."

Aayush: "Match of the year, maybe?" For WI, good shout. Overall? Doubt it. Having said that, the Test nations haven't played too much
