Pakistan defeated the West Indies by eight wickets in the second Test to level the two-match series 1-1. The national side comfortably chased down a modest target of 75 runs in the final stages of the match, losing just two wickets. Abdullah Shafique and Babar Azam remained unbeaten on 24 runs each to steer Pakistan home. Earlier, West Indies were bowled out for 117 in their second innings, setting Pakistan a straightforward target after a dominant bowling display by the hosts. The victory marked a strong comeback for Pakistan following their defeat in the opening Test. The hosts controlled key moments throughout the match, with Abdullah Shafique\u2019s brilliant first-innings century and Sajid Khan\u2019s match-winning bowling proving decisive. Sajid Khan was named Player of the Match for his outstanding performance, taking eight wickets across both innings and playing a vital role in restricting West Indies to a low total in their second innings. The result ensured the two-Test series ended in a 1-1 draw, with both teams securing one victory each. \u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
