Tarouba, August 11

An all-round performance from Roston Chase helped West Indies secure a five-wicket win over Pakistan in the second ODI at Tarouba on Monday.

With this win, Windies have levelled the three-match series at 1-1. The match was curtailed due to rain.

WI opted to field first for a 37-over-per-side match. Pakistan lost wickets at regular intervals and at one point were reduced to 88/4 in 21.1 overs.

It was contributions from Hussain Talat (31 in 32 balls, with four boundaries) and Hasan Nawaz (36* in 30 balls, with three sixes) which took Pakistan to 171/7 in 37 overs.

Jayden Seales (3/23 in seven overs) was WI's top wicket-taker in the match, while Jediah Blades, Shamar Joseph, Gudakesh Motie and Chase got a wicket each.

After it started raining again, the revised playing conditions and target for the hosts were 184 runs in 35 overs.

However, WI were reduced to 48/3, with Hasan Ali (2/35) and Abrar Ahmed (1/23) doing the initial damage to the Windies. It was a 54-run stand for the fourth wicket between skipper Shai Hope (32 in 35 balls, with two fours and a six) and Sherfane Rutherford (45 in 33 balls, with four boundaries and three sixes) that brought the run-chase back on track for WI. Mohammed Nawaz (2/17) struck in quick succession to remove the duo, bringing the hosts to a tricky 107/5 in 21.2 overs.

Roston Chase (49* in 47 balls, with four boundaries and two sixes) and Justin Greaves (26* in 31 balls, with a six) formed a useful 77-run partnership to take the hosts to a five-wicket win with 10 balls in hand.

Chase was given the 'Player of the Match' for his all-round effort.

As an Indian cricket lover, it's refreshing to see WI putting up a fight! Their young players are showing great promise. Hope they can maintain this form for the World Cup too. Roston Chase deserves all the praise today 👏

Pakistan's bowling looked toothless after the initial breakthroughs. They really missed Shaheen Afridi today. The way WI handled the pressure in the chase was impressive - reminds me of how our Indian team performs in crunch situations!

The rain interruptions made it difficult for both teams, but WI adapted better. Their lower middle order showed great maturity. Exciting to see new talents emerging in international cricket! #CricketLover

While Chase played well, I think the umpiring decisions favored WI today. That LBW call against Pakistan was questionable. Still, credit to WI for capitalizing on their opportunities. The series decider will be 🔥

Sherfane Rutherford's quickfire 45 changed the momentum completely! These T20-style innings in ODIs are becoming game-changers. As an Indian fan, I'm taking notes for our upcoming series against WI 😉
