With Mohammad Rizwan and Saud Shakeel standing unbeaten on Day 1, Pakistan will look to extend their recovery and build a commanding total on Day 2 of the first Test against the West Indies at Multan Cricket Stadium. After a delayed start due to bad weather, Pakistan finished the opening day at 143-4 in 41.3 overs, with Rizwan (51*) and Shakeel (56*) holding the fort.
The pair came together at a critical moment, with Pakistan reeling at 46-4 after early dismissals. They forged an unbroken 97-run partnership for the fifth wicket, facing a total of 169 balls. Rizwan and Shakeel will now look to convert their starts into big scores on Day 2, setting a solid foundation for Pakistan’s innings.
The West Indies will need to make inroads quickly on Day 2 to stay in the contest, with pace bowler Jayden Seales and spinner Gudakesh Motie having proven effective on Day 1. Seales took three wickets, including the key dismissals of Babar Azam and Kamran Ghulam, while Motie removed Shan Masood in the early exchanges.
Pakistan’s middle order, including Rizwan and Shakeel, will look to consolidate and push the score past 200, while West Indies will be aiming to break the partnership and gain the upper hand.
