Check out our prediction for the WI vs PAK 3rd ODI at Brian Lara Stadium in Tarouba, Trinidad.
West Indies have been struggling in white-ball cricket in recent times, especially in ODI cricket. It’s been a fair time since they have won an ODI series, and right now they are on the verge of winning one. A win in this game will be their first-ever ODI series win over Pakistan since 1991, a drought of 34 long years.
After failing to win the first game of the series, the hosts did a fair job in the rain-curtailed second ODI. In a 37-over-a-side game, West Indies won the toss and opted to field. Pakistan, with small contributions from the likes of Hussain Talat, Hasan Nawaz, and openers Saim Ayub and Abdullah Shafique, managed to post 171 on the board for the loss of 7 wickets. Paceman Jayden Seales was the pick of the bowlers, scalping 3 wickets for 23 runs in 7 overs.
West Indies’ reply in the chase was led by Sherfane Rutherford (46 off 33) and Roston Chase (49 off 47). The duo, along with skipper Shai Hope (32 off 35), were the linchpins in the batting unit of West Indies. The team chased down the target with 5 wickets in hand and 22 balls to spare. The hosts have a golden opportunity to clinch an ODI series against Pakistan after 34 long years.
With the series tantalizingly poised at 1–1, Pakistan have every reason to back themselves heading into the decisive third ODI against West Indies. Despite a setback in the second match, their overall form and squad depth remain strong. The top order, led by Babar Azam and Saim Ayub, has shown glimpses of dominance, while the middle order, anchored by the likes of Mohammad Rizwan and Hasan Nawaz, has the firepower to accelerate when needed.
Pakistan’s bowling attack, featuring Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah, and Shadab Khan, remains a potent force. If they can strike early and contain the West Indies’ aggressive batting lineup, the visitors will be well placed to control the game. Fielding improvements and sharper decision-making under pressure will be key.
Having won the first ODI convincingly, Pakistan know they have the blueprint for success. It’s now about execution, temperament, and trusting their process. With the series on the line, expect a focused and fired-up Pakistan side to rise to the occasion and aim for a memorable series win on Caribbean soil. Let’s move ahead and check the cricket tips.
