WI vs PAK: Pakistan hammered in 202-run loss in ODI series decider! What are their biggest defeats in the format?

Pakistan’s crushing 202-run defeat to West Indies in Tarouba on Tuesday has gone straight into the record books as one of their heaviest losses in men’s ODI cricket. The result came in the series decider, with West Indies sealing a 2-1 win, making it their first bilateral ODI series victory over Pakistan since 1991.

Shai Hope led from the front with an unbeaten century before pacer Jayden Seales ripped through Pakistan’s batting with six wickets.

Chasing 295, Pakistan never got going. They lost three of their top four batters for ducks as Saim Ayub, Abdullah Shafique and captain Mohammad Rizwan departed inside the first three overs. By the ninth over, the score was 23 for 4. Seales dismissed Babar Azam for nine to make it 29 for 5, and the collapse continued.

Salman Agha’s 30 was the top score in an innings that lasted just 29.2 overs. This margin of defeat now sits fourth on the list of Pakistan’s biggest losses in ODIs by runs. The unwanted record is still held by their 234-run thrashing against Sri Lanka in Lahore in January 2009. Pakistan's heavy losses have come across different eras, from the 1992 England series to recent years, including the Asia Cup final defeat to India in 2023. The latest setback will sting even more as it came against a West Indies side that had been under pressure following a poor run across formats.
