Pak vs WI: Pakistan Trails by 138 Runs

The second Test between Pakistan and West Indies got off to a rocky start for the Pakistani team, as they lost wickets at regular intervals on Day 1, leaving them trailing by 138 runs. Babar Azam's dismissal for just one run has raised concerns about his form, sparking comparisons to Virat Kohli's past struggles.

Pakistan's batting lineup has been struggling, with Azam being bowled by Akeal Hosein's slower ball for a mere 1 run, while Muhammad Hurraira was given out Lbw by Kemar Roach. The team is currently at 25/2 with Azhar Ali and Abdullah Shafique at the crease, trying to steady the ship. The Pakistani team's lackluster performance has left fans worried, especially given Azam's recent string of low scores.

Azam's decline in form is a cause for concern, as he has failed to deliver with the bat, following scores of 8 and 5 runs in the series opener. Although he had a strong run in the Pakistan tour of South Africa in December 2024, with three consecutive half-centuries, he has gone 19 innings without a fifty from December 2023. The team's captain, Shan Masood, will need to rally his team to turn the tide of the match.

As the match continues, Pakistan will need to dig deep to overcome the deficit and take control of the game. With Azhar Ali and Abdullah Shafique at the crease, there is still hope for a Pakistani comeback. However, the team will need to address their batting woes and find a way to support their struggling captain, Babar Azam.
