West Indies Vs Pakistan, 1st ODI Highlights: Nawaz, Talat Star As PAK Easily Chase Down WI's 281-Run Target

An unbroken 104-run partnership off just 70 deliveries between Hasan Nawaz (63 not out off 54 balls) and Hussain Talat (41 not out off 37) took Pakistan to a five-wicket victory over West Indies on Saturday (August 9, 2025), in the first ODI of their three-match bilateral series being played at the Brian Lara Stadium in Trinidad. The Mohammad Rizwan-led side chased down a 281-run target with seven balls to spare to take a 1-0 lead in the series.

Captain Rizwan too scored a half-century (53 off 69) but after his departure, the chase looked to be imperiled with the score reading 180 for five in 37.2 overs. But Nawaz and Talat then combined to guide the visitors home.

For the Windies, Gudakesh Motie (1/42 in 10 overs) was economical but the others leaked runs. Evin Lewis, skipper Shai Hope and Roston Chase had earlier hit fifties to take the hosts to a 280-run total. Catch the highlights and ball-by-ball commentary from the first WI vs PAK ODI:
