During the 3rd ODI of Pakistan’s tour of the West Indies 2025, fans were treated to a masterclass in fast bowling from Naseem Shah. The moment came in the 40th over of the innings, with the West Indies looking to stabilize their chase.
At the crease was Roston Chase, who had been batting with calm assurance. Sitting on 36 runs, he appeared well-set and in control, reading the bowlers with composure. His measured approach had frustrated Pakistan, as he quietly built a crucial stand for his team.
However, Naseem Shah had other plans. Charging in with his trademark smooth yet aggressive run-up, he unleashed a vicious yorker that swung late and darted in sharply. Chase, despite his quick reflexes, found himself completely beaten as the ball crashed into the stumps before he could bring his bat down in time.
The dismissal was not just a breakthrough; it was a statement of skill. Naseem’s delivery was pinpoint, fast, and unplayable — a reminder of his ability to change the course of a match with a single ball. His precision under pressure left the crowd in awe and his teammates energized.
