Jayden Seales spearheaded a dominant bowling display for the West Indies, claiming a five-wicket haul to dismantle Pakistan and secure a 90-run victory in Trinidad. The visitors, tasked with chasing a target of 211, struggled from the outset as the West Indies pacers maintained relentless pressure, ultimately bowling Pakistan out for 120.
The West Indies had entered the fourth day with a seven-wicket lead of 155, which they successfully extended to 210 thanks to a resilient effort from their tail-end batters. Once the bowling phase commenced, the West Indies attack proved too potent for the Pakistan lineup. The collapse began early in the third over when Kemar Roach dismissed Imam-ul-Haq, who edged the ball behind to Hope after being surprised by extra bounce. Seales soon joined the action, claiming his first wicket by inducing an edge from Azan Awais before trapping Salman Agha leg before for a six-ball duck. By the time the players broke for lunch, Pakistan was reeling at 28/3.
The afternoon session saw little respite for the batting side. Although Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan attempted to stabilize the chase with an eight-over partnership, they only managed to add 21 runs before Justin Greaves clean-bowled Rizwan with a sharp delivery. A ruthless spell followed from Greaves, Roach, and Seales, causing a collapse that left five of the next six batters with single-digit scores. Babar Azam remained the only consistent presence, eventually reaching a half-century.
Pakistan's final resistance came through a 72-delivery partnership between Azam and Mohammad Abbas. The pair held firm for 12 overs until Seales trapped Abbas leg before for 23, effectively ending the innings and the match. In the final match summary, the West Indies scored 311 and 181, while Pakistan recorded 282 and 120. Key contributors for the West Indies included Shai Hope with 92 and Kavem Hodge with 84 in the first innings, while Seales finished with match-defining figures of 5-20 in the second innings.
