This will be a good day.

Saffies just won their T20I game, and WI about to do the same in today's 3rd and final ODI against the PAKs.

Shai Hope:
Have to do whatever we do well. Little bit of morning moisture so we need to assess the conditions well. It's a big opportunity for us, if you see the stats, we haven't won against Pakistan here in a long time. Want to make this is a positive sign. That's in the forefront of our mind, we want to win each and every game. We want to keep climbing that ladder and earn automatic qualification for the World Cup. Just one change for us, Blades out, Shepherd in

 
Narper 2025-08-12 13:07:57 

Rizwan:
We wanted to bowl first. On a good wicket, it doesn't matter. We made some mistakes but there were some positives as well which we want to take into this game. Naseem Shah instead of Shaheen Shah. Little bit tactical, you need fresh legs as well.

 
Narper 2025-08-12 13:13:19 

Pitch report:
"The weather is beautiful at the moment. Had a few interruptions in the previous game, fingers crossed that we have much better weather today. Same pitch being used for the third game in succession. 62m and 64m square boundaries. This weather is still unpredictable. No dew factor. Looks evenly grassed around the good length. A bit fuller, there are some spots here. They've watered these patches on the day off and have patched up the footmarks. The spinners can capitalize on these patches. Average turn increased from the first to second ODI, expect that trend to continue," say Samuel Badree and Darren Ganga.

Naseem Shah to Brandon King, out Caught by Salman Agha!! Edged and gone! Naseem Shah points to his skipper in celebration, looks like that was a plan coming to fruition. Good length delivery on off-stump, angled in and there was just a bit of extra bounce, Brandon King was looking to get forward in defence and was undone by the extra bounce. It tooka thick outside edge and flew to Salman's left at first slip. No mistakes there and Pakistan celebrate an early breakthrough

Pakistan review. Loud shout for caught behind

10.2
Talat to Lewis, no run, review lost! Good length delivery angling into off-stump from round the wicket, hit the deck and straightened just a touch, Lewis was caught in his crease as he tried to defend and there was a sound as it passed the outside edge. There was a huge shout from Rizwan and the rest of the fielders but UltraEdge confirms that the sound was of the bat clipping the back pad. Both reviews gone now! Great decision from the umpire

Narper 2025-08-12 14:37:25 

13.6
Abrar Ahmed to Lewis, out Caught by (sub)Mohammad Haris!! That's a great catch out on the ropes! Tossed up full on off-stump, Lewis went for another big hit, leant in and slogged across the line and it went up a mile in the air. He hit it into the wind that meant it didn't quite have enough to sail over, Haris the substitute was down at deep mid-wicket, settled under it and remained so composed throughout. Knew exactly where the boundary rope was behind him and he made the catch look so easy.

Lewis c (sub)Mohammad Haris b Abrar Ahmed 37(54) [4s-1 6s-3]

Shepherd for Blades

 
Windiesfan78 2025-08-12 14:58:27 

16 off of 40 is not good enough. Carty is better than this. This is reminding me of why I stated that he wasn't a ODI player until he started showing in recent times what he is capable of. A good batting coach is needed to show the guys how to pick up the singles

 
kangalang 2025-08-12 15:00:00 

Poor strike rate ... poor review.

 
velo 2025-08-12 15:00:44 

Why would he review that and why would he be sweeping on mid stjmp to a man that spins it both ways .

 
Narper 2025-08-12 15:01:19 

19.1
Abrar Ahmed to Keacy Carty, out Lbw!! This looked straightforward - was there some bat on that? Keacy Carty has been given OUT LBW and he reluctantly reviews. Shuffled right across and missed a full ball, struck in front of off, the ball is straightening and it should be crashing into the stumps - a murmer on UltraEdge, but that's the bat hitting the ground. Onto ball-tracking: It's three reds and Carty is OUT. He got into a rut and falls trying the big shot - Abrar has been impressive and he just stuck to the basics - a shuffle across on the sweep and he was always in trouble once he missed it, the ball was smashing into the off-stump and off goes
Carty. Keacy Carty lbw b Abrar Ahmed 17(45) [4s-1]

 
Drapsey 2025-08-12 15:01:31 

In reply to kangalang

It took Carty only 45 balls to score his 17. What else do you want?

That's a whole lot better that King's contribution.

 
seaegg99 2025-08-12 15:03:07 

Why that shot????? Between the ears will always be our batsmen down fall. Poor shot selection Carty.

Saim Ayub to Rutherford, out Caught by Talat!! That's the pressure doing its trick for Pakistan! The West Indies are in some strife here, Rutherford couldn't get going against spin and he tried to hit his way out, didn't work. Flatter delivery on middle, Rutherford went back in his crease looking to heave it away but only managed to slice it up in the air, it looked like he was aiming deep mid-wicket and he ended up skewing it into the off-side. Talat moved around to his left at long-off and held on to it easily

Nawaz to Shai Hope, 3 runs, fifty for Shai Hope! That ball goes right in between the wide slip and the keeper! Tossed up full on off-stump, Shai Hope went for a reverse-sweep and it took a bit of glove before going right into that little gap, would've been out had slip been at a conventional position. Nonetheless, another fifty for the ever-consistent Shai Hope

 
Narper 2025-08-12 16:05:19 

35.2
Nawaz to Roston Chase, FOUR, Roston Chase shows his partner how it's done! Tossed up full on off-stump again, Roston Chase leans in and reverse-sweeps, hits it firmly and it was out of short third man's reach

 
Narper 2025-08-12 16:10:26 

36.4

One shot too many and West Indies have lost their 6th wicket - was tossed up slower and just outside off, spins back into the left-hander and Motie was lured into playing the big shot - hoicks across the line, hits high on the bat and it spooned straight up, Nawaz calls for the catch, settles under the skier and takes it with ease.

Nawaz to Shai Hope, SIX, cracking shot, Hope has been one West Indian batter who has loked good against spin today - flighted delivery on middle and leg, he backs away, clears his front leg and then hoists the slog-sweep, high and over deep mid-wicket for a maximum, brings up the 200 for West Indies

Hasan Ali to Justin Greaves, FOUR, the boundaries keep coming, was the slower wide ball from Hasan, Greaves was undone by the lack of pace as he looked to drive, caught the top-edge and lobbed to the left of short third - the fielder dives, gets a hand onto the ball and palms it away to the ropes

Naseem Shah to Shai Hope, FOUR, that's a sensational hundred from Shai Hope, his 18th in ODIs, 2nd against Pakistan -the crowd erupt in joy as the West Indian captain removes his helmet and soaks in the applause. On a pitch where all other batters struggled for fluency, this has been a cracking hundred - a long half-volley and he drilled the drive wide of cover, no chance for the fiielder running across in the deep

48.2
Naseem Shah to Shai Hope, FOUR, back-to-back boundaries for Hope and he's on a roll - fuller length delivery at the stumps and it's flicked behind square on the on-side - fine leg and was inside the ring and it's a long chase for the man at deep backward square leg, he does well to slide and stop - but as the momentum continued, his fore-arm touched the advertising skirtings before he could release the ball. umpire Sharfuddoula has plenty of looks, it's very close and it's a 50-50 call, which goes in the favour of Hope

Naseem Shah to Justin Greaves, SIX, a full-toss and it's been despatched to the deep mid-wicket boundary - a gift and Greaves doesn't miss out, gets into a great position and thwacks it over the ropes - it's checked for a waist-high full-toss, but it's a legal delivery

JJayden Seales to Babar Azam, out Lbw!! Babar Azam has been given OUT LBW. Was it sliding down leg? He has a chat with his partner and reviews. He did shuffle across and missed and was struck in front of middle and leg - the on-field call is OUT, so umpire's call will be good for West Indies. No bat and UltraEdge confirms the same. Onto ball-tracking: It's indeed umpire's call on hitting, Babar is OUT. 'Massive moment in the game', says Bazid Khan on air - Seales has four and he's sent Pakistan on a tail spin - the nip-backer and it pinned a shuffling Babar right in front of middle. He might feel slightly unlucky, but it did look very out to the naked eye. Replays confirm that the ball was clipping the leg-stump

That was a short of length delivery, angled in, Hasan Ali was hanging back and looked to defend but was very timid in doing so.

Only a wicket remains now

The fielder picked the ball up and threw the sticks down at the batter's end. Abrar Ahmed wanted a single but was sent back. Chase had been amazing throughout the day and he nailed the last piece of action today as well. Windies have won big.

Jayden Seales, Player of the Series:
We had a team plan from before. We just tried to execute it to the best of our ability. The analyst and the bowling coahc just showed me the line which works in ODI cricket. I am working on it. We wanted to keep the stumps in play. The pitch was a little up and down. Especially in ODI cricket, I have learnt the length to bowl on. It takes a lot of time and training. We keep our loads high and it is paying off.

 
Narper 2025-08-12 20:21:25 

Mohammad Rizwan:
We understood this was the third game given a Test across four innings was played on this deck. The momentum in the last 10 overs took it away as we were on top for the first 40 overs. We thought 220 was chaseable here. The credit goes to them. Credit to Hope. The execution was good but the edges went in their favour. Hope batted well and played some good shots. We had Ayub and Salman bowling. We thought Abrar would come and bowl. But Hope batted well and hence he didn't complete his overs. Seales was bowling well. He troubled us through the series. We needed partnerships and needed to spend some time.

 
Narper 2025-08-12 20:24:49 

Shai Hope:
It was very important for us to go deep. You want to set the tone in PP. I wanted to give the team the best finish as well. We have struggled at times. We had 270-280 in mind. We had wickets in hand, wanted to capitalize. Justin came in and played well. We had a pretty complete game today. I am extremely proud. We tend to stress on the negatives. We have been creating history in the last couple of years. Really great to see the guys pulling this off. Jayden is a quality bowler.
