Pakistan vs West Indies Preview

Pakistan:

Pakistan bagged a convincing win against West Indies in the first Test of the series. The stars of the show, Saud Shakeel, Shan Masood, and Mohammad Rizwan, shone with the bat to lead Pakistan to a good total. Meanwhile, Sajid Khan and Noman Ali obliterated the West Indies batting lineup with their 9 and 6-wicket haul respectively. Heading to the next match, Babar Azam will also be expected to take up responsibility in the top order, as he wasn\'t glamorous with the bat in the last Test. Faith will be placed on Sajid and Nauman with the ball so that the Men in Green ensure they finish strong with a 2-0 sweep on their home ground.

West Indies:

The West Indies batting lineup faltered miserably in the 1st Test except for Alick Athanaze, who scored a fifty in the second innings. The bowlers also couldn\'t do much to restrict Pakistan\'s onslaught. Jayden Seales (3) and Jomel Warrican\'s 10-wicket haul were the lone bright spots that saved them from a far worse defeat. Nevertheless, with a power-packed batting lineup headed by Kraigg Brathwaite, Keacy Carty, and Mikyle Louis, they will try to turn things around with a fresh approach in the 2nd Test. Meanwhile, spearheaded by Jayden Seales and Warrican\'s spin, Brathwaite and Co. will try to end the series with a 1-1 leveller.
