Published On 29 Jul 202629 Jul 2026<\/p>\n

Paceman Jayden Seales \u200cclaimed his fourth five-wicket haul to bowl the West \u2060\u2060Indies to \u2060a 90-run victory over Pakistan in the opening Test match in Tarouba, Trinidad and Tobago.<\/p>\n

After eking out a 29-run first-innings \u2060lead, the West \u2060\u2060Indies made 181 in their second innings to set Pakistan a target of 211 on Tuesday, the fourth day of play.<\/p>\n

Seales (5-20) and his pace \u2060colleagues returned to produce a superb fast-bowling display at the Brian Lara Stadium, routing Pakistan for 120 in a little over 40 overs, with one day of play remaining.<\/p>\n

Pakistan captain Babar Azam made an unbeaten 58 and combined \u200cwith number 11 Mohammad Abbas (23) in a brief resistance, but the West \u2060\u2060Indies\u2019 victory appeared a formality after the tourists slumped to 71-9.<\/p>\n

Pakistan number three Shan Masood, who fractured his finger during his first-innings knock of 109, batted at number eight in the second innings. He made three before \u2060Seales dismissed him.<\/p>\n

Captain Roston \u2060Chase dedicated the victory to West Indies great Garry Sobers, who died earlier this month.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wanted to make him proud and had a chat about it \u2060before the match. I hope he is smiling down on us,\u201d Chase said afterwards.<\/p>\n

\u201cI \u2060love the direction this team is \u2060heading. We\u2019re not relying on one or two players; everyone is chipping in at crucial moments.\u201d<\/p>\n

Babar said Pakistan\u2019s lack of partnerships proved costly.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday, as a batting \u200cunit, we weren\u2019t up to the mark. We kept losing wickets back-to-back, and the batting failed. That\u2019s something we\u2019re working \u200con,\u201d \u200che said.<\/p>\n

The second and final Test match in Port of Spain begins on Sunday.<\/p>\n
