Pitch Report

"Pak team should give opportunity to youngsters those who have temperament." - they have handed out opportunities in recent times to be fair. Hurraira has earned his spot after consistent first-class performances while the same holds good for Kamran Ghulam. Saud Shakeel was given his due too a couple of years ago and he hasn't looked back since.

Commentary

That's it from the first Test between Pakistan and West Indies. The hosts take a 1-0 lead in the series. Thank you for joining us. This is Meeth Agrawal and Soorya Sesha signing off. Take care and see you next time!

Shan Masood (Pakistan captain): As soon as we get 20 wickets, we will be happy. The spinners bowled well and adding Abrar helped a lot. We also didn't expect that it would spin from ball 1. It wasn't as hot as the England series. A day before the game we spoke that once a batter gets in, they have to go big. Rizzi and Saud did that. A lot of things to work on if we want to be the best side in the world. Around the big partnership, we weren't able to add small things around it. West Indies' lower order got 70-odd runs, that is something we must work on. If we want to master playing in these conditions, then we must score the most runs and ofcourse take 20 wickets.

Kraigg Brathwaite (West Indies captain): We didn't get enough partnerships. We can take a lot from how Warrican bowled. He bowled the slowest on this pitch. As spinners we can look at that on how we can be consistent and bring the batters forward. In the first innings we stayed on the back foot. And Alick, we saw how well he played, he played the sweep. We've got one more Test and we have to believe in ourselves. I think it's important to be positive on these kind of pitches and look for scoring opportunities. We should still trust our defence. We've just got to believe. It was spinning from Day 1. (On Jayden Seales) Jayden will be a legend for sure. One of the best I've ever seen a West Indian pace bowler bowl in the subcontinent. He's a star, as simple as that.

Sajid Khan is the Player of this Match for his match-haul of 9/115. Here's what he has to say: The pitch was good. Credit goes to this setup led by Aqib bhai. I think Naumi bhai (Noman) was the best player in the first innings and Shani bhai (Shan Masood) in the second. I am the Man of the Match but credit goes to the entire team. The way Abrar bowled, Naumi bhai (Noman) bowled in the first innings. There was a lot of turn on offer. I leaked some runs in the first innings so in the second innings I adjusted my pace so that I didn't concede too many runs. We (Noman and I) discuss on what pace to bowl. Of course we are human and mistakes happen. The talk was to ensure we don't give too many runs. I've played as a batter through the age group levels. It was my mistake that I couldn't hang in with the set batter but I hope to do better there.

Time for the post-match presentation!

2:30 PM Local Time (3:00 PM IST): West Indies 123 all out. Pakistan win by 127 runs to go 1-0 up in the series.

Saud Shakeel - 84 (157) | Sajid Khan - 4/65 & 5/50
Alick Athanaze - 55 (68) | Jomel Warrican - 3/69 & 7/32 & 31* (24)

What a win for Pakistan to go 1-0 up in the series. They might be out of the WTC 2023-25 final race but they would want to end their cycle on a high. And they have started rightly so. 17 wickets fell inside just 2 sessions to bring an end to this 1st Test.

Opting to bat first, Pakistan got off to a disastrous start with Jayden Seales running through their top order. The hosts were reeling at 46/4 but then came the game-changing 141-run partnership between Saud Shakeel (84) and Rizwan (71) to put Pakistan back on top. They were bundled out later for 230 runs with Seales and Warrican taking three wickets each.

It was a similar start or even worse for West Indies. None of their top-7 except Braithwaite (11) reached double digits as they found themselves struggling at 66/8. However, their bottom three, Motie (19), Warrican (31*), and Jayden Seales (22), helped them reach 137. Sajid Khan ran through their top order with four wickets whereas Noman Ali cleaned up the tail with a six-fer.

With a lead of 93 runs, Pakistan were well ahead in the game and their skipper Shan Masood, with a fine half-century, alongside opening partner Muhammad Hurraira gave them the perfect start. Pakistan ended Day 2 with 109/3 on the board and were very well eyeing a target of over 300 at least. But the start of Day 3 belonged to Jomel Warrican who with his 7-fer made sure Pakistan could only add 48 runs to their overnight score as they were bundled out for 157.

Chasing 231 runs, West Indies came with an intent to approach this chase aggressively. They found odd boundaries here and there but kept throwing away their wickets to Sajid Khan. Reeling at 54/5 at Lunch, it seemed like things would be over soon but Alick Athanaze, with a valiant half century, applied some resistance alongside Imach and Sinclair but Abrar Ahmed struck as soon as a partnership was building. Sajid ended up taking a fifer in the second innings to help Pakistan take the lead in the series.

DONE AND DUSTED!

36.3 Abrar Ahmed to Jomel Warrican, DRAGS IT ON THIS TIME! And Pakistan go 1-0 up! Full and drifting into the off stump as Warrican attempts a reverse-sweep. Hits the inner half of his bat and rolls between his legs before dislodging the bails. As tame as that! Abrar ends with four and Pakistan wrap up a massive 127-run victory in this first Test before Tea on Day 3!

Jomel Warrican b Abrar Ahmed 0 (3b, 0x4, 0x6)

36.2 Abrar Ahmed to Jomel Warrican, AH! Full and drifting into the off stump. Warrican walks way across before adjusting to lean forward and offer a dead bat. Nearly plays onto his stumps though as it dribbles just past

36.1 Abrar Ahmed to Jomel Warrican, OOH! Not the wisest shot for a hat-trick delivery but Warrican gets away. Googly on a length well outside the off stump as Warrican shuffles across and goes for a booming slog sweep. Connects with fresh air alone as it turns in and bounce sharply to beat him
