Commentary
Welcome back for the second essay. Alick Athanaze and Jewel Andrew are in the middle to open the innings for the West Indies. Hasan Ali will start with the ball for Pakistan. Here we go!
…THE RUN CHASE…
The pitch today was flat as compared to the first two games, with not much for the spinners as well as for the pacers. West Indies had to back their strength and bowl according to the plan. West Indies bowled well but the occasional boundaries didn't help them build any pressure. West Indies though were still in the game but a couple of big overs could be the turning point as West Indies have been ordinary with the bat so far and need a big innings from one of the top four to chase down the total and clinch the series. It won't be easy as Pakistan will back their spinners to defend the total. Stay tuned for the chase.
The final over has turned out to be match-defining as West Indies have allowed Pakistan to get the total close to 190. Pakistan were 137/0 and looking in good rhythm thanks to the foundation laid by the openers, Sahibzada Farhan and Saim Ayub however, once Sahibzada Farhan fell, Pakistan fumbled and lost four wickets in the fag end of the innings. Pakistan could have scored more had they not lost more wickets but still this is a good total with the series on the line.

The skipper of West Indies, Shai Hope says batting first is always an advantage at this ground but they can't control the toss. Mentions they learned from the last game and it's a quick turnaround. Tells the bowlers have put their hands up in the last couple of matches, they want to be consistent today as well. Informs that they have made no changes.

Informs Shaheen Afridi is rested and Haris Rauf takes his place. Fakhar Zaman is injured and Khushdil Shah comes in place of him. Tells they want to bat well in the Powerplay and in the death.
West Indies (Unchanged Playing XI) - Alick Athanaze, Jewel Andrew (WK), Shai Hope (C), Sherfane Rutherford, Roston Chase, Gudakesh Motie, Keacy Carty, Jason Holder, Romario Shepherd, Shamar Joseph, Akeal Hosein.
Pakistan (Playing XI) - Saim Ayub, Sahibzada Farhan, Mohammad Haris (WK), Salman Agha (C), Hasan Nawaz, Khushdil Shah (In for Fakhar Zaman), Mohammad Nawaz, Faheem Ashraf, Hasan Ali, Haris Rauf (In for Shaheen Afridi), Sufiyan Muqeem.
TOSS - Pakistan have won the toss and will BAT.
Pakistan wanted to bat first but things didn’t turn out as planned. Agha mentioned they wanted to try a couple of things before the Asia Cup but with the series on the line and already getting hammered by Bangladesh recently. Pakistan don’t want another series defeat for their team. So, it’s 1-1 and it’s the final match of the series before we head to the ODIs. Who do you think will win? Toss and team sheets next.
However, it wasn’t as easy as we thought it would be for West Indies as their batting department struggled once again chasing a mere 134 runs. Jason Holder inspired with his all-round performance as after scalping four wickets and getting on top of the summit (the leading wicket taker for West Indies in T20Is), Holder remained 16 unbeaten to get his team over the line.
After a winless streak of six games, West Indies have managed to get on the other side of the line and more importantly, keep the series alive rather than lose back-to-back summer series. West Indies were spot on in their execution and even their skipper, Shai Hope was brilliant with his tactics as West Indies tumbled out to Pakistan to a below par score.
...MATCH DAY...
All roads lead to Lauderhill for a blockbuster decider as West Indies and Pakistan square off in the series finale with everything on the line. Pakistan drew first blood in the opener and pushed hard in the second game, but Jason Holder’s all-round brilliance turned the tide, helping the hosts level the series and regain confidence after a six-match losing streak that included a 5-0 hammering by Australia. While the Windies will look to ride that momentum, their well-documented struggles against spin remain a glaring issue, one that Pakistan’s bowlers have exploited superbly so far. For West Indies, Johnson Charles and Jewel Andrew must provide the fireworks at the top, while Shai Hope’s calm presence in the middle adds stability. Sherfane Rutherford’s aggressive finishing and Romario Shepherd’s power hitting make their lower order dangerous, and with the ball, Holder’s experience, Shamar Joseph’s raw pace, and Akeal Hosein’s control will be critical. Gudakesh Motie has also chipped in with the runs in addition to his wickets which only makes them stronger. Their strength lies in explosive batting depth and adaptability, but inconsistency and vulnerability to spin remain their biggest weaknesses. Pakistan, on the other hand, boast a strong bowling attack spearheaded by Shaheen Afridi’s lethal new-ball bursts and Haris Rauf’s pace at the death, with Sufiyan Muqeem and Mohammad Nawaz forming a potent spin duo. Fakhar Zaman’s aggressive intent at the top, Saim Ayub’s stylish strokeplay, and Hasan Nawaz’s muscle power give their batting the edge, while Salman Agha’s all-round value adds balance. Pakistan’s strengths are their disciplined bowling and varied spin options, but their batting can crumble under pressure when early wickets fall. With both sides hungry for a series win and momentum ahead of bigger challenges, expect the finale to be a thrilling clash of power versus precision, unpredictability versus control - one that could go right down to the wire under the Florida lights.
Right then, that brings the curtain down on this T20I series, with Pakistan clinching it 2-1 after an entertaining contest. Next up is the three-match ODI series, beginning on August 8th at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy in Tarouba, Trinidad. The first ODI is set to get underway at 6:00 PM GMT, and we’ll be with you well in advance for all the pre-match build-up, expert analysis, and insights. Until then, take care and goodbye!
Salman Agha, the skipper of Pakistan, is up for a chat. Says that it was a complete team performance, and throughout the series, they were very good. Adds that they just want to keep improving and move forward. Shares that it was a different pitch, but credits the spinners for doing well. Lauds Sufiyan Muqeem, who has been brilliant in this series, and he brought them back into the game today. Closes by adding that they want to keep improving and following the process, as they have enough talent to win a lot of games.
Shai Hope, the skipper of the West Indies, credits the bowlers for their effort and wants to be consistent with the execution of the ball. Feels that 190 was chaseable and lauds Alick Athanaze for his knock. Adds that consistency is key, something which they haven't done. Closes by sharing that the captaincy is tough and hopes to find ways to get better.
Mohammad Nawaz is the Player of the Series for his brilliant bowling effort in the series. He says that the plan was basic to bowl in good areas, and he got help from the pitch. Adds that the wicket was a bit better, and the situation of the game is why he did not bowl all his overs. Shares that he has bowled with the new ball and is aware of bowling in the Powerplay. Mentions that the batters can line up easily if they bowl on one length and hopes to stay a step ahead. Closes by adding that his favourite all-rounders are Yuvraj Singh and Shahid Afridi.
Sahibzada Farhan is the Player of the Match for his excellent knock. He credits the almighty for getting a good score and is happy that his innings helped the team win. Says that the conditions were pretty same and they wanted to play aggressively and pounce on the loose balls. Shares that he enjoys batting with Saim Ayub and hopes to continue the partnership in the long run. Closes by adding that he is pleased with the effort, and the focus is on getting better in the upcoming series.
Presentation time...
For Pakistan, all the bowlers except Faheem Ashraf took one piece while Sufiyan Muqeem was the most economical of the lot. The visitors gave away a few runs in the Powerplay but clawed their way through the slow bowlers by taking regular wickets and squeezing the runs to win another T20I series against the Men in Maroon. Earlier today, Pakistan posted a strong total of 189/4, led by an impressive opening stand from Sahibzada Farhan and Saim Ayub. Valuable cameos from Hasan Nawaz, Khushdil Shah, and Faheem Ashraf helped push the score close to the 190-run mark. With the ball, Holder, Roston Chase, and Shamar Joseph picked up a wicket each, while Akeal Hosein bowled an economical spell despite going wicketless. Pakistan will look to keep the momentum going forward, while the West Indies will need to improve on certain areas and bounce back strong.
Defending 190, Pakistan were under pressure early as the West Indies came out firing. Jewel Andrew and Alick Athanaze stitched together a brisk 44-run opening stand, setting the tone with aggressive intent. Andrew fell for a lively 24, but Athanaze powered on to register his maiden T20I half-century, eventually dismissed for 60 in the 13th over. However, the Windies' momentum stalled in the middle overs as Pakistan’s spinners tightened the screws. Key batters like Roston Chase, Shai Hope, and Jason Holder couldn’t make an impact, while Sherfane Rutherford’s fighting fifty kept West Indies in the hunt. But the mounting pressure and disciplined Pakistani bowling in the death overs proved too much, and the West Indies fell short yet again, continuing a disappointing trend in recent bilateral contests between the two sides.
Pakistan have delivered a composed all-round performance to edge past the West Indies by 13 runs and clinch the T20I series 2-1. This victory also marks Pakistan’s seventh consecutive series win over the Caribbean side.
