West Indies crush Pakistan by 202 runs as Hope and Seales star at Brian Lara Stadium
West Indies beat Pakistan by 202 runs in the third ODI of their 2025 series at Brian Lara Stadium in Tarouba, Trinidad, on 12 August 2025. Shai Hope's unbeaten 120 off 94 balls anchored a total of 294/6, a score well above the ground's average first-innings mark of 154. Pakistan's chase never got started. Four wickets fell in the powerplay for just 26 runs, and Jayden Seales completed the damage with figures of 6/18 from 7.3 overs as Pakistan were dismissed for 92. The margin, 202 runs, was emphatic.
Pakistan won the toss and chose to field, a popular call at this ground where 83% of toss winners elect to bowl first. For long stretches, it looked the right decision. West Indies managed only 36 runs in the powerplay for one wicket, slow by any measure. The middle overs turned things around: 139 runs for three wickets put the innings back on track. Then the death overs delivered 119 runs for two wickets, a burst that gave the total its imposing shape.
When Pakistan batted, the platform Seales and the West Indies attack built in the powerplay proved decisive. Losing four wickets for 26 in the first ten overs is a hole almost no side can climb out of in an ODI chase, and Pakistan couldn't. The middle overs brought six more dismissals and 66 runs before the innings closed without a ball bowled in the death phase.

Betting & analytical angles
Angles the data surfaced
