The 1st ODI of the ongoing Pakistan tour of West Indies 2025 will be played on August 8 in Tarouba. Both teams played each in a three-match T20I series in Florida and the Asian side won by 2-1. The two-time T20 World Cup did manage to win a T20I, after having lost a home T20I series against Australia 0-5. Meanwhile, both teams are entering a territory which hasn’t been favorable for both sides.
The two-time ODI World Cup winners, West Indies have won only one ODI this year, i.e. against Ireland. They lost badly to England and lost an ODI to Ireland too. The Maroon Brigade are currently placed 10th in the ICC rankings and need to finish in the top eight before the Cricket World Cup 2027 automatic qualification cutoff date.
Not to mention, they missed out on the Cricket World Cup 2023 and subsequently, the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 qualification. From the 1992 World Cup winners perspective, they lost the Champions Trophy this year without a win. Not to forget, they were clean swept by New Zealand in late March. Even though they are favorites to automatically qualify for the 2027 event, their current form doesn’t show too much promise.
