August 12, 2025. Brian Lara Cricket Academy, Tarouba, Trinidad. 3rd ODI. West Indies post 294/6 in 50 overs. Pakistan need 295 to win the ODI series. By over 29.2, Pakistan are all out for 92. West Indies win by 202 runs. Jayden Seales: 6 wickets. Pakistan’s batting order which had chased 280 in the 1st ODI to win collapsed completely in the decider.
West Indies win the ODI series 2-1.
Pakistan had arrived in the Caribbean after winning 7 consecutive bilateral T20I series against West Indies. And they won this T20I series too 2-1 at Lauderhill, Florida. Yet West Indies won the ODI series 2-1. And before all of this, the January 2025 Test series in Pakistan ended drawn 1-1 with West Indies claiming their first Test win in Pakistan in 34 years.
Three formats. Three different outcomes. One rivalry and in 2025, every format told its own story.

West Indies lead ODIs 73-64 in 140 matches their biggest bilateral lead over Pakistan in any format. Pakistan lead Tests 22-19.
The Format Paradox: PAK Dominate T20Is, WI Win ODIs, Tests Split 1-1
Pakistan’s T20I bilateral record against West Indies: 7 consecutive T20I series wins entering the 2025 tour. West Indies’ ODI bilateral record against Pakistan: WI lead 73-64 in 140 ODIs the second-largest win total WI hold against any Test nation.
The format split between Pakistan and West Indies in 2025 is not an accident it reflects structural team compositions. Pakistan’s T20I squad (Saim Ayub, Sahibzada Farhan, Babar Azam, Shaheen Afridi) is specifically tuned for 20-over cricket: aggressive openers, clear power-play plans. West Indies’ ODI lineup (Shai Hope anchoring chases, power-hitters in the lower order, Jayden Seales/Shamar Joseph in 50-over bowling) is better-structured for ODI conditions where margin of error is wider. Neither team’s strength is universally superior they’re format-specific specialists who happen to meet each other twice per cycle.
West Indies Tour of Pakistan Jan 2025: Test Series Drawn 1-1
1st Test (Jan 17–19, Multan Cricket Stadium): Pakistan Won by 127 Runs
| Innings | Score | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Pakistan 1st | 230 (68.5 ov) | |
| West Indies 1st | 137 (25.2 ov) | |
| Pakistan 2nd | 157 (46.4 ov) | |
| West Indies 2nd | 123 (36.3 ov) | PAK won by 127 runs |
Pakistan won by 127 runs. their 5th successive Test win in this bilateral rivalry.
WI’s first innings collapse to 137 in 25 overs defined the match. On a Multan pitch that traditionally aids slow bowling over 5 days, WI’s batting imploded in the first innings never recovering enough in the 4th innings chase.
2nd Test (Jan 25–27, Multan Cricket Stadium): West Indies Won by 120 Runs: Warrican’s Historic Fifer
| Innings | Score | Result |
|---|---|---|
| West Indies 1st | 163 (41.1 ov) | |
| Pakistan 1st | 154 (47.0 ov) | |
| West Indies 2nd | 244 (66.1 ov) | |
| Pakistan 2nd | 133 (44.0 ov) | WI won by 120 runs |

West Indies won by 120 runs West Indies’ first Test win in Pakistan since 1990 (34 years).
Jomel Warrican’s 5-wicket haul in Pakistan’s 2nd innings was the match-defining bowling performance the spinner exploited Multan’s fifth-day deterioration to tear through Pakistan’s lower-middle order.
Turning point: West Indies’ 2nd innings 244 building from 163 in their 1st innings showed exactly how WI’s batting responded when given a turning pitch. Warrican’s fifer in the 2nd innings was the bowling equivalent: both West Indies’ batting improvement and bowling execution arrived simultaneously in the 2nd Test. Pakistan chased 254 and were bowled out for 133.
Unique insight Historic context: Warrican’s fifer making West Indies’ first Pakistan Test win in 34 years is one of the most historically significant individual performances in this rivalry since WI’s 1980s dominance. The last time WI won a Test in Pakistan, Imran Khan was still playing. The 2025 result confirms that West Indies’ Test cricket has measurably improved in bilateral away conditions not just at home.
T20I Series, Aug 2025: Pakistan Won 2-1: All 3 Scorecards (Lauderhill, Florida)
1st T20I (Aug 1, Central Broward Regional Park, Lauderhill): Pakistan Won by 14 Runs
| Innings | Score | Key Performers |
|---|---|---|
| Pakistan | 178/6 (20 ov) | Sahibzada Farhan top score |
| West Indies | 164/7 (20 ov) | — |
| Result | PAK won by 14 runs |
Pakistan posted 178/6 a strong total in Florida conditions where the outfield tends to be slower than Caribbean pitches. West Indies’ 164/7 fell 14 runs short.
All three T20Is were played at Lauderhill, Florida not in the Caribbean. The Central Broward Regional Park pitch behaves differently from any Caribbean ground: lower bounce, slower outfield, and shorter boundaries on one side. Pakistan’s batting (Farhan, Saim Ayub) built on aggressive early hitting on pace pitches adapted better than West Indies’ batters, who play many of their home T20Is on bouncier Caribbean surfaces.
2nd T20I (Aug 2, Lauderhill): West Indies Won by 2 Wickets
| Innings | Score | Key Performers |
|---|---|---|
| Pakistan | 133/9 (20 ov) | — |
| West Indies | 135/8 (20 ov) | — |
| Result | WI won by 2 wkts (last ball) |
Pakistan’s 133/9 their lowest total of the T20I series was set up by a West Indies bowling performance that regularly pulled the middle overs back. West Indies chased 134 to win at the last ball, losing 8 wickets.
Closest match of the series: West Indies reached the target off the final ball with 2 wickets in hand 135/8. Any single Pakistan wicket in the final over changes the result. The 2nd T20I was the narrowest bilateral T20I match between Pakistan and West Indies since 2021.
3rd T20I (Aug 4, Lauderhill): Pakistan Won by 13 Runs: 7th Successive T20I Series Win
| Innings | Score | Key Performers |
|---|---|---|
| Pakistan | 189/4 (20 ov) | Saim Ayub + Farhan opening stand |
| West Indies | 176/7 (20 ov) | — |
| Result | PAK won by 13 runs — series 2-1 |
Pakistan’s 189/4 their highest T20I total of the series was anchored by Sahibzada Farhan and Saim Ayub’s opening partnership.
This is their 7th successive bilateral T20I series win over West Indies.

ODI Series, Aug 2025: West Indies Won 2-1: All 3 Scorecards (Tarouba, Trinidad)
1st ODI (Aug 8, Brian Lara Stadium, Tarouba): Pakistan Won by 5 Wickets
| Innings | Score | Key Performers |
|---|---|---|
| West Indies | 280 (49 ov) | Shai Hope anchored; Romario Shepherd lower-order |
| Pakistan | 284/5 (48.5 ov) | Babar Azam/Mohammad Rizwan |
| Result | PAK won by 5 wkts (7 balls rem) |
Pakistan chased 280 in 48.5 overs their most controlled ODI chase of the series. Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan anchored Pakistan’s middle innings.
Pakistan chasing 280 in the Caribbean in the 1st ODI looks straightforward. It isn’t. Tarouba the Brian Lara Stadium has one of the slowest outfields in Caribbean cricket. The surface doesn’t accelerate scoring naturally, which means Pakistan’s 284/5 required real batting discipline, not just power hitting.
2nd ODI (Aug 10, Brian Lara Stadium): West Indies Won by 5 Wickets (DLS)
| Innings | Score | Key Performers |
|---|---|---|
| Pakistan | 171/7 (37 ov) | Rain interruption |
| West Indies | 184/5 (33.2 ov) | DLS target met |
| Result | WI won by 5 wkts (DLS) |
Pakistan’s innings was interrupted by rain, reducing the game to a 37-over match. West Indies chased a DLS-revised target, reaching 184/5 in 33.2 overs.
3rd ODI (Aug 12, Brian Lara Stadium): West Indies Won by 202 Runs: Jayden Seales 6-For
| Innings | Score | Key Performers |
|---|---|---|
| West Indies | 294/6 (50 ov) | Shai Hope captain’s innings; Johnson Charles |
| Pakistan | 92 (29.2 ov) | — |
| Result | WI won by 202 runs |

Jayden Seales: 6 wickets in the 3rd ODI. Pakistan bowled out for 92 chasing 295. West Indies win the ODI series 2-1.
Turning point — performance breakdown: Seales’ 6-for dismantled Pakistan’s top and middle order in 29.2 overs. Pakistan needed 295 a chaseable total in typical conditions. They reached 92 all out. The 202-run margin is West Indies’ largest ODI win over Pakistan since the 1980s.
Jayden Seales’ 6-For: The Series-Defining Performance
Jayden Seales’ 6 wickets in the 3rd ODI at Tarouba is the most consequential bowling performance across both the 2025 T20I and ODI series between these teams.
The context makes it more impressive:
- Pakistan had chased 280 in the 1st ODI from the same ground
- Pakistan had posted 189/4 in T20I play in the same tour
- Seales dismissed Pakistan for 92 in the 3rd ODI a 200-run difference in Pakistan’s batting output across the same tour
Seales’ 6-for didn’t just win a match. It reversed the entire narrative of Pakistan’s batting dominance in the Caribbean across this tour. Pakistan’s batters who chased 280 efficiently in the 1st ODI (same ground, same conditions) fell for 92 in the 3rd. This is T20I-to-ODI form conversion failure: Pakistan’s batting had peaked in T20I mode. Over 5 days of 50-over cricket in Caribbean heat, they declined. Seales’ 6-for caught them at their lowest point.
All-Time Head-to-Head Records (2025 Updated)
Three Original Observations
- Pakistan’s 7-consecutive bilateral T20I series win over West Indies entering August 2025 is the longest active bilateral T20I series winning run any team holds over another non-associate nation in current cricket. Yet the same team that cannot beat Pakistan in 7 successive T20I series beat them 2-1 in the ODI series immediately after. The WI-PAK format gap is the most extreme format-specific bilateral performance split in current international cricket.
- West Indies’ first Test win in Pakistan in 34 years via Jomel Warrican’s 5-for in Multan, Jan 27, 2025 is the single most historically significant result in this rivalry in over three decades. Pakistan home Test conditions are designed to reward slow bowling: Multan turns consistently from Day 3. Yet for 34 years, no WI spinner could exploit those conditions to win a Test. Warrican did it in January 2025 and the statistical validation of that win is that Pakistan fell from 76/4 to 133 all out. When Pakistan loses those 6 wickets cheaply, no second innings recovery is possible on a fifth-day Multan pitch.
- Jayden Seales’ 6-for in the 3rd ODI reduced Pakistan to 92 all out chasing 295 the exact same Pakistan batting lineup that had chased 280 in the 1st ODI from the same ground 4 days earlier. The 200-run difference between 1st ODI (PAK 284/5, won) and 3rd ODI (PAK 92, lost) off the same Tarouba pitch against the same WI bowling attack is the largest same-ground same-series batting variance Pakistan have produced in any ODI series since 2019. Seales didn’t just take 6 wickets. He exposed the fact that Pakistan’s ODI batting, without a specific plan against this particular bowler, can collapse entirely.
