Roston Chase’s Heroics Level ODI Series as West Indies Outlast Pakistan in Rain-Interrupted Clash
Hey, so here’s the latest from the cricket world—West Indies and Pakistan have been battling it out in an exciting ODI series, and after some intense moments and rain interruptions, the series is now tied.
The highlight has definitely been Roston Chase, who absolutely came through for the West Indies. In the second ODI, played at the Brian Lara Stadium in Tarouba, Trinidad and Tobago, Chase was unbeaten on 49 runs off just 47 balls. His innings included two powerful sixes, and he sealed the win with the final boundary, helping West Indies chase down the revised target. Because of the rain, the match was shortened, and West Indies were set to chase 181 runs in 35 overs under the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern method after Pakistan’s innings was cut short at 171 for 7 in 37 overs.
The game itself was a bit of a rollercoaster. West Indies got off to a shaky start, losing quick wickets after reaching 101 for 3 in 18 overs. They slipped further to 111 for 5 after 24 overs, but then the partnership between Chase and Justin Greaves really steadied the ship. Greaves contributed a solid 26 runs off 31 balls, and together they put on an unbeaten 77-run partnership that clinched the match with 10 balls to spare. Chase’s performance earned him the Man of the Match award, and it was easy to see why.

On the bowling side, Jayden Seales was impressive for West Indies, taking 3 wickets for just 23 runs in seven overs, putting pressure on the Pakistan batsmen throughout the game.
Pakistan had some notable contributions too, especially from Hasan Nawaz, who scored an unbeaten 36 runs off 30 deliveries, continuing his fine form after his 63 not out in the first ODI. He smashed three sixes, two of them coming in the final over before the rain interrupted again. However, other Pakistani batsmen were relatively slow, including their captain Mohammad Rizwan, who got out lbw after scoring only 16 runs off 38 balls.
This win was crucial for West Indies because Pakistan had taken the first ODI by five wickets just a few days earlier. Before the ODI series, Pakistan had already won the Twenty20 series against the West Indies in Florida by 2-1, so the ODI series was still up for grabs.
The final and deciding match of the three-match ODI series is scheduled to be played at the same venue soon, so it’s all set for a thrilling conclusion. With players like Chase and Greaves stepping up for West Indies, and Pakistan’s Hasan Nawaz showing consistency, cricket fans can expect a nail-biting finish.
So that’s where things stand—West Indies have fought back to level the series after a tough start, and the next game will be critical in deciding who comes out on top. It’s definitely a series worth watching if you love competitive cricket with moments of real excitement.
