West Indies cricket series wins 2026

Entities: Mohammad Abbas · Shai Hope · Jaidan Seals · Baber Azam · Pakistan cricket team

Overview

The West Indies continued their strong form in mid‑2026, securing a 90‑run victory over Pakistan in the opening Test of the two‑match series at the Brian Lara Cricket Stadium in Tarouba, Trinidad. The Caribbean side posted 311 in the first innings, driven by Shai Hope’s 92 and Kaveem Hodge’s 84, while Pakistan replied with 282 highlighted by Shan Masood’s 109 and Imam‑ul‑Haq’s 63. Pakistan’s chase of 211 collapsed to 120, despite Babar Azam’s unbeaten 58, as West Indies pacers Jayden Seales (5/20), Mohammad Abbas (5/22) and Justin Greaves (5/27) dismantled the batting order. The win gave West Indies a 1‑0 series lead and reinforced their eighth‑place position in the World Test Championship, with Pakistan remaining at the bottom of the table. The series, alongside earlier successes against Sri Lanka, underscored the West Indies’ renewed competitiveness across formats in 2026.
