WI vs PAK Match Preview:
The Pakistan tour of West Indies transitions to the ODI format after Pakistan clinched the T20I series 2-1, with the third T20I decided by a 13-run victory on August 3, 2025, at Central Broward Regional Park Stadium, Lauderhill, Florida.
Shai Hope captains West Indies, with Brandon King, Evin Lewis, Sherfane Rutherford, and Shamar Joseph among the key players aiming to reverse their team’s fortunes after a tough 2025, with only one win in six ODIs. Mohammad Rizwan leads Pakistan, bolstered by Babar Azam, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Saim Ayub, and Naseem Shah, fresh from their T20I success.
In their ODI head-to-head, Pakistan and West Indies have played 137 matches, with Pakistan winning 63, West Indies 71, and 3 ending in no results.
With Pakistan riding high from their T20I series win—their seventh consecutive T20I series triumph over West Indies—a fiercely competitive ODI series is expected as West Indies aim to leverage home conditions and secure crucial points toward 2027 ODI World Cup qualification.
