Hope 162 powers West Indies to record 352 chase, first ODI win over India since 2023

West Indies secured a historic victory in the third one-day international against India, successfully chasing a target of 352 to claim their first win in the format against this opponent since 2023. Captain Shai Hope anchored the effort with an unbeaten 162, completing the highest successful run chase in West Indies ODI history and surpassing Desmond Haynes' long-standing national record against India.

The visitors achieved the milestone despite losing the series opener and the second match, capping off the tour with a consolation win.

India had earlier posted a formidable total of 351/7 after recovering from a disastrous start that saw both Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli dismissed early by Jayden Seales. Rohit Sharma and Ruturaj Gaikwad steadied the innings through a substantial partnership, while KL Rahul added an unbeaten century to fuel a late surge.

Despite the strong score by the hosts, Hope's marathon knock and resilient performance while carrying a niggle carried the West Indies across the finish line with five wickets to spare.
