Pakistan endured a humiliating 202-run defeat, collapsing for just 92 runs in pursuit. Five Pakistani batters failed to make any impact skipper Mohammad Rizwan, Saim Ayub, and Abdullah Shafique were dismissed for ducks, while Babar Azam managed only 9, Hasan Nawaz 13, and Hussain Talat a single run.

Justin Greaves added a quickfire 43 off 24 balls, while Roston Chase (36) and Evin Lewis (37) contributed valuable runs. For Pakistan, Naseem Shah and Abrar Ahmed took two wickets each, while Saim Ayub and Mohammad Nawaz claimed one apiece.

The series began with Pakistan winning the first ODI by five wickets, but West Indies leveled the series in the second match with a comfortable five-wicket victory, chasing down 181 in just 33.2 overs.
West Indies ultimately sealed the series 2-1 with this commanding win.
