On 28 March 2022, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) confirmed the fixtures for the tour, [9] with Rawalpindi initially hosting all three matches. [10] The following month, the PCB also announced that the series would be played without any COVID-19 protocols, meaning that the series was played with no bio-secure bubble. [11] However, in May 2022, the PCB moved all the matches to Multan, [12] due to the ongoing political crisis in the country. [13] The start times of the matches were also moved to 4pm local time to mitigate the impact of the extreme heat. [14] The last time that the ground hosted an ODI match was in April 2008, during Bangladesh's tour of the country. [15]

Pakistan won the opening ODI match by five wickets with their captain Babar Azam scoring a century. [16] Pakistan won the second match by 120 runs to win the series with a match to play. [17] It was also the West Indies' tenth-consecutive series loss to Pakistan in ODI cricket. [18] The third and final ODI match was temporarily suspended during Pakistan's innings due to a dust storm. [19] Despite the interruption, Pakistan went on to win the match by 53 runs, winning the series 3–0. [20]
