West Indies Beat Pakistan by 90 Runs in First Test, Pakistan Suffers Heavy Defeat

Chasing the target, Azan Awais scored 3 runs, Imam-ul-Haq managed 3, while Salman Ali Agha was dismissed without scoring. Shan Masood also contributed just 3 runs.

Ali Usman scored 2 runs, Khurram Shahzad added 4, while Aamer Jamal and Mohammad Ali were both dismissed for ducks. Captain Babar Azam remained unbeaten on 58, but eight Pakistani batters failed to reach double figures.

Speaking at the post-match press conference, Babar Azam said the team had played good cricket overall during the Test, but the batting lineup failed to deliver on the final day.

He added that the challenges posed by the new ball were expected, and the regular fall of wickets increased the pressure. However, he believed the target of 211 runs was achievable and expressed confidence that Pakistan would make a stronger comeback in the next Test.

Earlier, West Indies resumed the fourth day on 126/7 in their second innings and were eventually bowled out for 181, setting Pakistan a target of 211 runs.

For Pakistan, Mohammad Abbas claimed five wickets, while Khurram Shahzad and Mohammad Ali picked up two wickets each.

In the first innings, West Indies had posted 311 runs, while Pakistan were dismissed for 282, giving the hosts a crucial first-innings advantage that ultimately helped them secure victory.
