West Indies beat Pakistan in ODIs after six years
The Caribbean team beat Pakistan in the ODI cricket after six years. They had last scored a win over Pakistan in the 2019 World Cup, beating Sarafaraz Ahmed and Co. by seven wickets. Following that, the two nations played a three-match series in 2022, during which Pakistan secured a clean sweep over the opposition.

Pakistan were put in to bat by West Indies captain Shai Hope after winning the toss. Openers Saim Ayub and Abdullah Shafique hit boundaries in the powerplay, but there were a lot of dot balls in between. Pakistan kept losing wickets at regular intervals, and so the run-scoring became an issue for them. The team managed to muster only 171/7 from 37 overs.
Batting brilliance!👏🏾

West Indies’ chase didn’t get off to a good start as they lost openers Brandon King (1) and Evin Lewis (7) inside the first four overs. However, Shai Hope (32), Rutherford (45) and Chase (49 Not Out) played handy knocks to help the team cross the finish line.
Chase received the Player of the Match award for his all-round performance, which helped the team secure a win over their rivals.
