Lauderhill, August 4, 2025 — In a heart-pounding cricket spectacle at Central Broward Park & Broward County Stadium, Pakistan have roared to a sensational victory, sealing the three-match T20I series 2-1 with a dramatic 13-run win over the West Indies in the final encounter on Monday.
Batting first in front of a lively crowd, Pakistan delivered a power-packed performance, posting a formidable 189 for 4 in their 20 overs. The opening duo of Sahibzada Farhan and Saim Ayub laid a strong foundation with an aggressive stand, sending early shockwaves through the Windies’ bowling unit. Cameos from Hasan Nawaz, Khushdil Shah, and Faheem Ashraf added crucial late-innings firepower, propelling the total near the 190-run mark.
The West Indies responded with flair as openers Jewel Andrew and Alick Athanaze launched an aggressive 44-run stand. Athanaze dazzled with his maiden T20I half-century, scoring a fluent 60 before being dismissed in the 13th over. Despite a fighting fifty by Sherfane Rutherford, the middle order crumbled under pressure as Pakistan’s spinners, led by the economical Sufiyan Muqeem, turned the screws during the death overs.
Every Pakistani bowler except Faheem Ashraf chipped in with a wicket, showing immense discipline and control to halt the Windies at 176/6 — just 13 runs shy of victory. This win marks Pakistan’s seventh consecutive T20I series win over the Caribbean giants, further asserting their dominance in white-ball cricket.
Sahibzada Farhan was named Player of the Match for his superb knock. Grateful for the opportunity, he praised his partnership with Saim Ayub and emphasized the team’s intent to play aggressive cricket. Meanwhile, Mohammad Nawaz, awarded Player of the Series, credited his success to bowling smartly in the Powerplay and drawing inspiration from legends Yuvraj Singh and Shahid Afridi.
Pakistan’s captain Salman Agha hailed the win as a “complete team performance,” applauding his side’s spirit and especially praising Muqeem for a game-changing spell. “We just want to keep getting better with every T20I series,” he said, brimming with confidence for the future.
On the other side, West Indies skipper Shai Hope admitted his side lacked consistency. While lauding Athanaze’s effort, he admitted the execution under pressure was lacking. “Captaincy is a challenge, but we’ll keep finding ways to bounce back,” he said.
With this electrifying win, Pakistan not only conquered yet another T20I series but also sent a powerful message ahead of future contests. The Men in Green now look ahead with momentum and belief, ready to take on their next challenge, while the Windies are left to reflect and regroup.
One thing is clear: when Pakistan and West Indies collide in T20I action, fireworks are guaranteed!
