Roston Chase’s unbeaten 49 and a steady partnership with Justin Greaves guided West Indies to a five-wicket win over Pakistan in the rain-affected second one-day international on Sunday, leveling the three-match series 1-1.
Chase struck two sixes and sealed victory with a boundary as the hosts reached 184-5 in 33.2 overs, chasing a revised target of 181 in 35 overs under the DLS method. The adjustment came after multiple rain delays limited Pakistan to 171-7 in 37 overs. Fast bowler Jayden Seales led the West Indies attack with figures of 3-23 from seven overs.
West Indies had slipped from 101-3 after 18 overs to 111-5 in the 24th, losing Sherfane Rutherford for 45 off 33 balls, which featured three sixes and four boundaries. Chase and Greaves (26 off 31) then put together an unbroken 77-run stand for the sixth wicket to secure the win.
Hasan Nawaz guides Pakistan to five-wicket win over West Indies
Earlier, Pakistan’s innings was anchored by Hasan Nawaz’s 36 not out from 30 balls, following his unbeaten 63 in the series opener. His innings on Sunday included three sixes, two of them in what turned out to be the final over before more rain arrived. Hussain Talat added 31 off 32, but captain Mohammad Rizwan struggled for fluency, scoring 16 off 38 before being trapped lbw by Gudakesh Motie.
Pakistan had taken the series lead on Friday with a five-wicket win in the first ODI. The deciding match will be played on Tuesday at Brian Lara Stadium, which also hosted the first two games. Pakistan earlier claimed the preceding T20 series 2-1 in Florida.
