Match preview & overview
West Indies beat Pakistan by 5 wickets at Brian Lara Stadium in Tarouba, Trinidad, on 10 August 2025. Pakistan batted first and posted 171/7, a total that sat modestly above the venue's average first-innings score of 154 across 61 matches. West Indies then knocked off the target with something to spare, finishing on 184/5. Roston Chase was named Player of the Match. The toss played its part: West Indies won it and bowled first, a choice backed by the ground's history where captains opt to field in 83% of matches.
Pakistan's innings had a stop-start feel. The powerplay yielded just 39 runs for 2 wickets, a below-par return given the venue's powerplay average of 43 runs. The middle overs were more productive: 132 runs for 5 wickets took them to 171/7, but the death-overs phase added nothing to the total, which set the tone for a chase that West Indies managed with control rather than panic.
West Indies' pursuit had a similarly tricky opening. They slipped to 30/2 in the powerplay, suggesting Pakistan's bowlers made early inroads. From there, however, the innings shifted completely. The middle overs brought 154 runs for just 3 wickets, a phase of batting that made the target look straightforward. The result underlines the venue's 55% chase success rate, a pattern that has held across this series.
