West Indies 294 for 6 (Hope 120*, Greaves 43*, Abrar 2-34) beat Pakistan 92 (Agha 30, Seales 6-18, Motie 2-37) by 202 runs
Knowing when it's time to go is a valuable trait, and if Pakistan were in any doubt their time in the Caribbean was up, West Indies quashed them and sent the visitors out of town with a comprehensive trouncing.
Jayden Seales' six-wicket haul - the joint second-best figures by a West Indian in men's ODI cricket - and an unbeaten hundred from Shai Hope put Pakistan to the sword in each innings. It was more than enough to secure West Indies' first ODI series win over Pakistan in 34 years with their biggest ever win over Pakistan, scything through them for 92 having set them 295 to win.

South Africa 218 for 7 (Brevis 125*) beat Australia 165 (David 50, Bosch 3-20, Maphaka 3-57) by 53 runs
Dewald Brevis scored South Africa's highest individual T20I score, their second-fastest T20I hundred off 41 balls and became the youngest South African to hit a century in this format as they put on their best score against Australia to square the series at 1-1 in Darwin with the decider to come in Cairns on Saturday.
Brevis, who already holds the South African domestic record for the highest T20 score of 162, put on a mesmerising display in only his ninth T20I. He hit 12 fours and eight sixes for a total of 96 runs in boundaries and was excellent down the ground. More than half of his runs - 66 - were scored in the 'V', including six sixes and all but single-handedly built South Africa's total. Brevis, who was dropped on 56, scored 91 of the 126 in a fourth-wicket partnership with Tristan Stubbs.

Manchester Originals 163 for 6 (Buttler 46, Overton 2-26, Stone 2-27) beat London Spirit 153 for 6 (Warner 71, Tongue 3-29) by 10 runs
Manchester Originals chalked up their first win of the season after a solid all-round batting performance, London Spirit coming up just short in their chase after a late flurry set pulses racing. The Originals' score, based on their powerful top four all totalling above 20, proved to be enough despite the evergreen David Warner's half-century in response, an innings which made him this year's leading men's run-scorer.
Ben McKinney wowed the crowd early on with three monster sixes and two fours in his 12-ball 29, while Phil Salt for once played second fiddle. When he was out for 31, the Originals were 85 off just 44 balls with their sights set on 200. From there, however, Jos Buttler (46 off 37) and Heinrich Klaasen (24 off 17) struggled with their timing but the home side seemed quietly content with 163, the joint highest score in the men's competition this season, alongside the Spirit's 163 against the Welsh Fire on Saturday.

Brimming with confidence, Spirit won the toss and elected to bowl first, enjoying a dream start as Georgia Redmayne brilliantly caught Kathryn Bryce down the leg side before Melie Kerr was needlessly run out going for a non-existent second from a free hit.
