Seales Warned Pakistan a Year Before Test Carnage
West Indies pacer Jayden Seales tore through Pakistan with 6/18 in an ODI in 2025, foreshadowing his five-wicket haul in the 2026 Test.
Jayden Seales' devastating spell of 6/18 against Pakistan in an ODI in August 2025 was a clear warning sign for the visitors. The fast bowler dismantled Pakistan's batting lineup in Tarouba, leading West Indies to a series win and earning Player of the Series honors. His performance exposed Pakistan's vulnerability against his pace and movement.
Nearly a year later, Seales repeated the dose in the first Test of 2026, capturing a five-wicket haul to seal a 90-run victory. The ODI spell had already demonstrated that Pakistan had no answers to his relentless accuracy. From removing openers early to dismissing key batsmen like Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan, Seales proved to be a persistent nightmare for Pakistan's top order.
