West Indies’ cricket supporters the world over must now be joyously celebrating the team’s magnificent, nail-biting, one-wicket victory over Pakistan in the August 12-15 first Test of the two-match Series. And rightfully so!
Chasing the challenging total of 168 for victory they were set by Pakistan, the West Indies scraped home by means of an unbeaten 10th wicket partnership between Kemar Roach (30*) and last man pacer Jayden Seales (2*). To the absolutely joyful delight of the few groundsmen turned spectators physically present at the ground and hundreds or thousands more who were tuned in via television and radio, their partnership posted the 13 runs that were still required for victory after the West Indies had lost its ninth wicket with the score on 151.
