It was Pakistan's eighth straight away Test loss, leaving them with just one win from five matches and a points percentage (PCT) of 6.66. West Indies, despite the victory, remained eighth in the standings with two wins from 11 Tests. India are currently fifth with four wins, four defeats and one draw from nine matches, while Australia continue to lead the table ahead of defending champions South Africa. After being bowled out for 311 in the first innings, led by Shai Hope's 92 and Kevam Hodge's 84, West Indies restricted Pakistan to 282 despite Shan Masood's century. Justin Greaves starred with the ball, claiming a five-wicket haul. The hosts then recovered from 93/7 in the second innings thanks to a crucial 61-run stand between Kemar Roach and Shamar Joseph, setting Pakistan a target of 211. Pakistan's batting collapsed under pressure as they were bowled out for just 120. Babar Azam remained unbeaten on 58 but found little support from the rest of the batting order.
