WI vs PAK, 3rd ODI: What happened to Pakistan under Mohammad Rizwan's captaincy? What had not happened in 34 years was seen on the cricket field. Pakistan's team has tasted the biggest defeat at the hands of the West Indies.
WI vs PAK, 3rd ODI: Pakistan has suffered its biggest defeat at the hands of the West Indies. It lost this match in the third and final match of the ODI series. With this, the West Indies won the series 2-1 under the captaincy of Shai Hope. The Caribbean team's victory in the series directly meant breaking a 34-year-old record. In simple words, under the captaincy of Mohammad Rizwan , Pakistan had to see such days in the series against West Indies, which it had not seen in this century, let alone after 1991.Sai Hope scored a brilliant century
West Indies batted first in the third ODI and scored 294 runs for 6 wickets in 50 overs. Captain Shai Hope played a big role in helping West Indies reach such a big score in the series decider. He led his team from the front with the bat. Shai Hope scored a century, which was his 18th in ODI cricket and his second century against Pakistan.
Shai Hope scored an unbeaten 120 runs in just 94 balls, which included 10 fours and 5 sixes. Due to the explosive batting of captain Hope, the West Indies team, which had scored 185 runs for 6 wickets in the first 42 overs, added 109 runs without losing any wickets in the last 8 overs.
Pakistan longed for even 100 runs and lost the series
Pakistan had a target of 295 runs to win the series decider. This target is not impossible in today's era of cricket. But, Pakistan had so much difficulty chasing it against the West Indies that the whole team together could not even score 100 runs, let alone come close to that target. In the third ODI, Pakistan's team was all out for 92 runs. As a result, the West Indies won the match by 202 runs, which is its biggest victory over Pakistan in terms of runs. In this case, it has broken the record of victory by 150 runs in the ODI played in Christchurch in 2015.
Jayden Seals performed a career best
This is the fourth time in ODI cricket that the West Indies has registered a win by scoring 200+ runs. If captain Shai Hope played a role in bringing Pakistan to its knees with the bat, then Jayden Seals wreaked havoc with the ball, who single-handedly took care of half the Pakistani team. He took 6 wickets for 18 runs in 7.2 overs, which is the best performance of his career.
A big record was broken under the captaincy of Mohammad Rizwan
West Indies not only won the third ODI against Pakistan, but also won the series. In this way, Pakistan's 34-year-old record of not losing an ODI series against West Indies was broken under the captaincy of Mohammad Rizwan. West Indies has won its first ODI series against Pakistan since 1991. This is also West Indies' first series win against Pakistan in any format in this century, i.e., since 2000.
