Pakistan secured an eight-wicket victory over the West Indies in Trinidad, according to Al Jazeera, bringing an end to a lengthy run of poor results on the road. The win marked Pakistan’s first away Test success in three years, as reported by the BBC.
The result leveled the two-match series, with Al Jazeera confirming that the draw was the final outcome. The Pakistan Cricket Board described the performance as commanding, noting that the team completed the chase with eight wickets in hand.
The victory snapped an eight-match losing streak for Pakistan in away Tests, a stretch that had weighed heavily on the squad. According to Cricinfo, opener Shafique played a key role in the match, with the outlet noting that his performance showed his potential remains high after a period out of the side.
Pakistan’s previous away Test win came three years ago, per BBC reporting. The team’s bowling and batting efforts in Trinidad were enough to overcome the West Indies on their home turf, a result that will provide some relief for the touring side after a difficult stretch abroad.
The series draw means both teams leave with a share of the spoils, but the focus now shifts to what comes next for Pakistan. With the away drought finally over, the side will look to build on this result in future tours, aiming to turn a single breakthrough into a more consistent run of form on foreign soil.
