On August 10, 2025, the West Indies secured a five-wicket victory over Pakistan with 10 balls remaining in a rain-reduced second One Day International (ODI) at Brian Lara Stadium in Tarouba. This victory levelled the three-match series at 1-1.
Roston Chase played a crucial role, remaining unbeaten with 49 runs off 47 balls, including two sixes and the winning boundary. The West Indies chased down a DLS-adjusted target of 181 runs, finishing with a score of 184-5 in 33.2 overs.
Pakistan batted first after the West Indies won the toss, scoring 171 runs for the loss of 7 wickets in 37 overs, as the match was interrupted by rain. Hasan Nawaz excelled once again, remaining unbeaten on 36 runs off 30 balls, which included three sixes, after having scored 63 not out in the first ODI. Hussain Talat contributed 31 runs off 32 balls; however, captain Mohammad Rizwan’s slow innings of 16 runs off 38 balls hampered the team’s momentum. Jayden Seales was the standout bowler for West Indies, taking 3 wickets for 23 runs in seven overs.

— Pakistan Cricket (@TheRealPCB) August 10, 2025West Indies’ chase faltered from 101-3 after 18 overs to 111-5 by the 24th, with Sherfane Rutherford’s explosive 45 off 33 balls (three sixes, four fours) ending via Mohammad Nawaz. Chase and Justin Greaves (26 off 31) then forged a match-winning 77-run unbroken sixth-wicket partnership.
Pakistan introduced Mohammad Nawaz, Hasan Ali, and Abrar Ahmed, replacing Faheem Ashraf, Naseem Shah, and Sufiyan Muqeem. West Indies swapped Romario Shepherd for Justin Greaves. The series, following Pakistan’s first ODI win, heads to a decider on August 12 at the same venue, promising a thrilling conclusion.
West Indies’ comeback showcases their resilience, with Chase and Seales proving pivotal. Pakistan, despite Nawaz’s debut heroics, must address batting inconsistencies, especially from Rizwan, to clinch the series. The rain-affected match highlighted both teams’ adaptability, setting the stage for a crucial finale.
