PAK vs WI: Jayden Seales’ six-wicket haul levels ODI series

Pakistan World Cup

Tarouba, August 12, 2025 – West Indies fast bowler Jayden Seales delivered a sensational six-wicket performance to demolish Pakistan and secure a dominant victory, winning the three-match ODI series 2-1 at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy.

Batting first, the West Indies posted a solid 294 for 6 in their allotted 50 overs. The target was challenging, but what followed was sheer carnage from the Caribbean quicks, led by Jayden Seales. Pakistan crumbled to a paltry 92 all out in just 29.2 overs, 202 runs short, suffering one of their heaviest defeats in recent years.

From the very first over, Jayden Seales was unplayable. His pace, precision, and late movement off the pitch brought back memories of the glory days of West Indies fast bowling. Seales dismantled Pakistan’s top order almost single-handedly, removing the top four batters for scores of 0, 0, 9, and 0. The early strikes left Pakistan gasping for momentum and confidence.

Although Salman Agha tried to resist with a couple of crisp boundaries against spinners Gudakesh Motie and Roston Chase, the West Indies attack maintained relentless pressure. The change of pace and turn from the spinners complemented Seales’ fiery pace, ensuring no recovery for the visitors.

Once Salman Agha and Hasan Nawaz departed, the Pakistani batting lineup fell apart rapidly. The final wickets tumbled in quick succession, sealing a thumping win for the hosts.

For Jayden Seales, this performance was more than just a personal milestone — it was a statement of intent. His six-wicket haul not only leveled the series but also reminded cricket fans of the threat he poses when in full rhythm. The series decider now promises to be a high-stakes showdown.
