Overview
- Pakistan beat West Indies by eight wickets at Queen’s Park Oval to level the two‑match Test series 1-1 on Thursday after spinners dominated the contest.
- West Indies captain Roston Chase said the team misread how quickly the pitch would turn and that the surface’s early spin tipped the balance against their bowling plan.
- Chase said his own finger issue limited his off‑spin and that all‑rounder Justin Greaves was unable to bowl because of a leg injury, which narrowed selection choices.
- Left‑arm spinner Jomel Warrican was a lone bright spot for the hosts, bowling 46 overs and taking six wickets as Pakistan’s two specialist spinners shared the bowling burden.
- The drawn series leaves selection and tactical questions for West Indies ahead of their October–November Tests in Bangladesh and could affect their World Test Championship positioning.
