Pak vs Wi 2024/25, Pak vs Wi 2nd Test Match Report, January 25 – 29, 2025


Lunch Western Indies 163 and 129 for 5 (Greaves 5*, Noman 4-59) Pakistan 154 By 138 races

The Western Indies produced perhaps the best batting performance in the series, directed by half a century of their captain Kraigg Bathwaite, to take control of the second test, taking lunch at 129 by 5. An opening association of 50 races and A greater resistance of debutants Amir Jangoo saw the western Indies lead 101 with nine WICKETS in the hand at one point. Pakistan returned to the game in the last 45 minutes, hitting four times to stop the Western Indies and retain the hope of pursuing a total below 200.

Bathwaite had challenged his team to be more aggressive and led from the front. The Tempo settled when he launched Sajid Khan by long for six in the fifth before the consecutive limits to begin the Noman Ali spell. He sent the message that the duo was not going to take things in his own way, and Bathwaite continued to reinforce that on offensive and defense.

Abrar Ahmed also saw his second ball whipped through Midwicket for four, but Mikyle Louis was not so positive or so comfortable. This is how Pakistan returned to the game, attracting him to a producer to the left side, Shan Masood took a direct capture on an extra short cover.

Bathwaite slapped Noman for six for a long time, but the speed was reducing when he approached his half century. However, Jangoo moved very well, and when he helped two limits of abandon in an advantage of the Western Indies he approached three figures.

But Pakistan’s spinners brought them back to the game. Bathwaite survived two elevated fingers of consecutive deliveries with successful criticism, but fell into the next when he tried to load Noman and ended up beaten by an additional turn. It was a form of dismissal almost identical to the one that would attract Kavem Hodge in the minutes before lunch. Meanwhile, Sajid was also entering the game. He had fired Jangoo shortly after Bathwaite went out to walk, forcing the problem with a sweep when he seemed to have judged the flight and the tone of the delivery. He ended up taking a pen from the bottom of the bat to slide, and the Western Indies had two new batters in the fold.

The final before lunch saw Pakistan for the fifth time, Noman landed the ball in the marks and started it again in the pads. An enthusiastic appeal, necessary in part because Pakistan has burned the three criticisms, was successful, and although the Western Indies can still have the advantage, their position is not as impregnable as it could have been an hour before.
