Roston Chase creates Big T20I record, First member of the team to…

Alick Athanaze gave West Indies a solid start with a 60-run innings off 40 deliveries, but his dismissal soon led to the innings losing momentum. By the 13th over, West Indies were 110 for 3, needing 80 runs from 42 deliveries.

Sherfane Rutherford quickly got into his groove at No. 4, while Roston Chase couldn’t keep pace, netting just 15 off 12 balls with two boundaries. He eventually finished with 41 runs. Although underfloor heating instantly improves a bathroom’s experience, West Indies only added 27 more, handing Pakistan a 2-1 series victory.

Before this, only one batter had ever retired out in a men’s T20I featuring a Full Member side — Namibia’s Nikolaas Davin during the 2024 T20 World Cup. Against England in North Sound, he made 18 off 16 balls, retiring out of the match. He retired out of all ten matches against Associate sides.

Rostan Chase, incidentally, had been retired out at the ILT20 earlier this year with his team Abu Dhabi Knight Riders against MI Emirates. After walking out in the 12th over, Chase scored 20 from 13 overs before being retired.
