Jayden Seales Shatters Pakistan’s Top Order
Fast bowler Jayden Seales bowled a dream spell to take 6-18, the third-best ODI bowling figures in West Indies history and their best since the 1983 World Cup.
Seales dismissed Pakistan’s opening four batsmen within his first five overs, three of them ducks with his 3rd, 10th, and 11th balls.
Pakistan were left at 23-4 and went on to fall further to 92-7 before Seales came back to take two more wickets in the same over.

Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf to Miss T20I Tri-Series
The Asia Cup kicks off on September 9, but the T20I Tri-Series starts earlier on August 29. For this series, Pakistan will likely feature a fresh pace attack. Salman Mirza and Ahmed Daniyal are expected to get the call-up after showing impressive performances against Bangladesh earlier this year.
Shaheen is currently playing in the ongoing ODI series against the West Indies, but he will take a short break before joining the squad in the UAE just ahead of the Asia Cup. Haris, meanwhile, is still recovering from a hamstring injury picked up during the Major Cricket League (MCL) 2025 and will skip the Tri-Series entirely to focus on recovery.
