Pakistan's batting collapse on the fourth day in Trinidad handed the West Indies a 90-run victory in the first Test of a two-match series, extending the visitors' dismal away record to eight consecutive losses. Set 211 on a deteriorating surface, the tourists were bowled out for 120 just after tea, with only captain Babar Azam offering resistance with an unbeaten 58. Main Developments Pakistan's chase never gained traction as they slumped to 71 for nine, threatening their lowest Test total against the West Indies. Mohammad Abbas, who earlier took five for 22 in the second innings, joined Babar for a 49-run last-wicket stand before Jayden Seales trapped him leg-before for 23, finishing with five for 20. Seales and Justin Greaves, who earned Player of the Match honors with match figures of seven for 39, exploited the uneven bounce effectively. Greaves credited discipline, saying his side mimicked Abbas's approach from both innings to build pressure.

The collapse mirrored the third day's meltdown, when they lost seven wickets for 38 runs after being 244 for three, sliding to 282 all out and conceding a 29-run first-innings deficit. West Indies had rallied to 181 in their second innings, adding 55 on the fourth morning thanks to Shamar Joseph's 38 off 27 balls with four sixes. Abbas wrapped up the innings with five for 22, but Pakistan's body language suggested the target was beyond reach, especially with former captain Shan Masood hampered by a fractured finger sustained during his first-innings century. Why It Matters The result underscores Pakistan's deepening batting frailties on challenging surfaces, particularly against disciplined pace bowling. Babar admitted his team prepared for movement with the new ball but failed to build partnerships, a recurring issue that has left them winless in their last eight away Tests. For West Indies, the win—their second in three Tests under captain Roston Chase after a year-long drought—signals growing depth. Chase noted contributions from multiple players at crucial moments, a contrast to their earlier over-reliance on a few individuals. What's Next The second and final Test begins Sunday at Queen's Park Oval in Port of Spain, just a few miles from the current venue. Pakistan face the prospect of a series defeat unless they can address their batting collapses, while West Indies will aim to build on their momentum and secure a rare series win.
