Chase had 49 runs and Greaves was not out for 26 with a thrilling selection of fours and sixes in a game shortened by rain delays in Tarouba.
Earlier, West Indies' poor start was steadied by Sherfane Rutherford's 33-ball 45 to put the home side back in the driving seat.
Chase sealed the deal by steering a delivery from Hasan Ali through cover for four and he punched the air in celebration.
"I'm happy with the win. We had to come in and level the series, so very pleased," Chase, who was named man of the match, said.
The decisive third match of the series takes place at the same venue on Tuesday.
