West Indies Innings
: Hope’s Masterclass Anchors a Big Total
WI lost Brandon King early (5) to Naseem Shah, but Evin Lewis (37) and Keacy Carty (17) steadied. Shai Hope’s unbeaten 120 off 94 (10 fours, 5 sixes) was the backbone, with partnerships like 64 with Roston Chase (36) and 110 with Justin Greaves (43*). Sherfane Rutherford (15) and Gudakesh Motie (5) chipped in, but Hope’s late acceleration—50 in 48 balls—pushed WI to 294/6.
Extras (16) helped, but Pakistan’s spinners Abrar Ahmed (2-34) and Mohammad Nawaz (1-60) kept it tight in the middle.
