cricket stadium

Lauderhill, August 3, 2025 – The stage is set for an electrifying showdown as Pakistan and West Indies lock horns in the third and final T20I of their closely contested series.

Scheduled to take place at Central Broward Park & Broward County Stadium in Lauderhill, the decisive match will begin at 5:00 AM Pakistan Standard Time on August 4, 2025.

With the T20I series currently level at 1-1, both sides are bracing for a high-pressure decider. Pakistan claimed victory in the first T20I with a dominant all-round display, but the West Indies bounced back in the second game, thanks largely to a match-winning performance from Jason Holder. His all-round heroics helped the Windies snap a six-match losing streak, including a recent 5-0 whitewash at the hands of Australia.

The West Indies will be banking on their explosive batting depth in the T20I decider. Openers Johnson Charles and Jewel Andrew will look to set the tone, with Shai Hope anchoring the middle order. Finisher Sherfane Rutherford and power-hitter Romario Shepherd add menace to the lower half, while Holder, Shamar Joseph, and Akeal Hosein bring balance with the ball. Gudakesh Motie’s dual contributions with bat and ball further strengthen their side.

Pakistan, however, come into the final T20I with a well-rounded squad. Their pace attack, led by Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf, has been lethal, while spinners Sufiyan Muqeem and Mohammad Nawaz have consistently troubled the Windies’ batters. Fakhar Zaman, Saim Ayub, and Hasan Nawaz offer firepower at the top, while Agha Salman provides much-needed all-round stability.

With the T20I series on the line, both teams are expected to give their all. Pakistan’s spin-heavy strategy will clash with West Indies’ aggressive flair, making the finale a classic battle of control versus chaos. A thrilling end to the T20I series awaits under the Florida night sky.
