Overview
- West Indies beat Pakistan by 90 runs after bowling the tourists out for 120 while chasing 211 at the Brian Lara Cricket Academy, with the match finishing on Tuesday.
- Jayden Seales took 5-20 in Pakistan’s second innings to finish the game and Justin Greaves was named Player of the Match after match figures that included five consecutive maiden wicket overs in the first innings.
- Pakistan’s top order collapsed twice in the match, leaving captain Babar Azam to top-score with an unbeaten 58 and share a 49-run last-wicket stand with Mohammad Abbas that only delayed defeat.
- Shan Masood suffered a fractured finger during his first-innings century, forced to bat lower in the second innings, and his fitness now complicates Pakistan’s selection options for the next Test.
- The loss worsens Pakistan’s poor red-ball run and drops them to the bottom of the WTC table with a points percentage near 6.7, and the teams meet again for the second Test at Queen’s Park Oval on Sunday.
