Quite meaningless match ongoing between Pakistan and West Indies at the Multan Cricket Stadium. More than half of the overs were lost to rain, and after that we witnessed some low quality cricket between two teams that are currently placed at the bottom of the points table in ICC World Test Championship. Pakistan were 46/4 when Babar Azam got out, but recovered after that thanks to the partnership between Saud Shakeel and Mohammad Rizwan. Jayden Seales looked impressive for West Indies, BTW.
Pakistani friends must be relieved a little now. Losing their first four top-order batters within the first 15 overs and without even scoring 50 runs is a signal of upcoming batting collapse. It is good to see at least two batters showed some patience and still continue to bat. Both batters got their half-century which needed to continue further. The Pakistan team is totally unpredictable. The upcoming batters may not be able to stand in front of the West Indies bowlers. So, Mohammad Rizwan and Saud Shakeel should bat as long as they can.
Really that was a poor start by the Pakistan team. Their top order batsmen aren't in good form. Shan Masood made only 11 runs. He is the captain, I don't know when he will feel the responsibility and start playing a better innings. Many people had hopes with Babar Azam but he could only make 8 runs.
Saud Shakeel and Mohammad Rizwan's partnership started when the score was 46 runs. Now the score is 143 and these two have put on around 100 runs together. Although it may be a sign of relief for them, but then i don't say it as Pakistan fully recovered as yet because if they lose wickets tomorrow, they can still be all out under 200 runs.

Pakistan team lost 2 wickets in this match first but I think this test game is to put pressure on the team that lost wickets in the power play. Mohammad Hurraira and Masood were out in a short time, so the opening batsman's pair broke and Babar Azam entered the field as the next batsman. At the moment, Kamran Ghulam and Babar Azam have a partnership, they have collected 23 runs in 9 overs for the loss of 2 wickets.
In this way, if Pakistan team keeps losing wickets then they will definitely be defeated by West Indies team, Pakistan team is much ahead of West Indies team but losing wickets is the most weakness of Pakistan team.

Pakistan team is going through the most vulnerable time at the moment, 4 wickets have fallen at the moment, which is the most aggressive of the four batsmen. The top order batsman got out early in this first test match, but the biggest weak point of Pakistan team was in the first innings of this first test match.
Pakistan team is facing a lot of pressure after losing 4 wickets for 47 runs in 16 overs, the possibility of Pakistan team being all out on this first day is very high, Jayden Seales he has collected three wickets alone which has played the biggest role for West Indies team. West Indies team is performing well in terms of bowling but of course they can have a chance of winning this innings.
There will be a big rivalry between Pakistan and West Indies. It is not possible to keep any team ahead in advance. Because both the teams are almost at the same level. Although Pakistan team is in a higher position than West Indies in ICC Test Rankings, it will be difficult to keep any team ahead considering the overall situation. However, Pakistan will play at home ground due to which they will get home advantage. A match was held between West Indies and Pakistan A team in 3-day Warm-up Match and the match was drawn. The main matches of the series are more likely to be decided by win or defeat.
Test series between Pakistan and West Indies starts from tomorrow, in this series I consider Pakistan as favorite as these matches will be played on Pakistan's home ground. However, Pakistan have performed very poorly in recent Test series against South Africa, they have not won a single match against South Africa. On the other hand, West Indies managed to perform fairly well against Bangladesh.
We have seen earlier that Pakistan A team and West Indies played a warm-up match, however that match was a draw now it is to be seen how well these two teams can perform in the main test matches. Pakistan will definitely want to win the series against West Indies as they will want to forget the series defeat against South Africa by winning the series against West Indies.
Test series between Pakistan and West Indies will be exciting. Pakistan has one advantage because they are playing at home but they did not do well against South Africa recently and we also know what they did against Bangladesh. This shows they have some weaknesses. On the other hand West Indies played pretty well against Bangladesh. Pakistan wants to win against West Indies to make up for losing to South Africa. It will be interesting to see how both teams handle pressure.We have seen earlier that Pakistan A team and West Indies played a warm-up match, however that match was a draw now it is to be seen how well these two teams can perform in the main test matches.

We did not see Pakistan play well in the Test series against South Africa either. Pakistan lost both Test matches. Pakistan's batsmen failed to get off to a good start in the first Test match against West Indies. Pakistan lost the top order wickets very quickly.
Pakistan lost 4 wickets for just 47 runs. Pakistan lost the wickets of Shan Masood, Muhammad Hurraira, Babar Azam and Kamran Ghulam. Saud Shakeel and Mohammad Rizwan are now at the crease. Shakeel and Rizwan are two experienced batsmen in the Pakistan squad. Pakistan still has the potential to score big.
What a start for West Indian in first hour of play they have 4 Pakistani top order batsmen 47 for 4 is surely giving them good encouragement for having bowl first in these conditions.
We have first session lost due to weather and now second session is completely under control of West Indies with Jayden Seales and Gudakesh Motti both doing impressive job on this dry pitch now Saud Shakeel and Mohammad Rizwan on pitch for having decent end of first days play for Pakistan cricket team.
Current PCB management is doing all things for laughed at Pakistan due to their worst management and having matches in these conditions which are never been ideal for game specially cricket.

This match was initially planned to be hosted at Karachi, but then some construction work going on there, so it was shifted to Multan and here the weather is not so good for play.It is not because of the rain but due to fog the match is delayed. The toss hasn’t happened till now. Nevertheless, This is an important test series both for the West Indies and the home team.

The First test between Pakistan and West Indies started from tomorrow. Pakistan team announced their playing Eleven today, and Mohammad hurraira made their debut in the first match of the series against West Indies. head to head five matches have been played between Pakistan and West Indies in which Pakistan won three times and West Indies won two matches. Pakistan selection committee has included Sajid Ali and Noman Khan in the team. Both spinners gave a great performance against England and played a very important role in winning the series. Pindi pitch has also been made a spin pitch in the Test match, so Pakistanis are very favorites to win the test match
Pakistan vs West Indies first Test match was scheduled to be played today but due to bad weather the toss was postponed. Since tomorrow they have announced a great XI and they will try hard to go for the series. Since we have seen Pakistan team playing well in the matches between Pakistan and West Indies before, Pakistan has a very good chance of winning this series. However since this match includes spinners and good batsmen, they are very much favourites to win this series. I think if this match starts and the weather gets better then Pakistan team will try to give their best and play well to win the series.

Pakistan were once again trying to repeat his tactics at home through which out of no where they make a comeback in series against england, I mean they cover pitch and put some big heater on so that pitch got dry, and sajid and Noman show his magic. Looking to current squad Pakistan will go with four spinner and single fast while west indies has announced his squad with three spinner and two fast for first test match. So I believe things will be balance because both side has quality spinner who can turn things In thier team favor. Anyway in ayub absence they were trying some new combination even having experience player like imam in squad, but in order to make his bench more stronger they were trying to add as much as possible talent to his squad.

^^^ Nice to see Muhammad Hurraira included in the squad. But his recent performances for Sialkot Region during the Quaid-e-Azam Trophy was not up to the mark. He was probably selected after his good outing for Pakistan Shaheens, during their warmup match against West Indies this week. Anyway, the first match will start tomorrow at the Multan Cricket Stadium. Pakistan are the hosts, and I believe that they will have the upper hand this time. That said, weak bowling is still a concern.
Pakistan must try new players to replace overrated players like Babar Azam who are not giving any match winning performance but improving there personal stats. Muhammad Hurraira just 23 years has got an golden opportunity at his disposal. Pakistan test batting lineup is still fragile and there is no batsmen that we can say deserve a permanent slot in team. This crisis is an opportunity for new players to get a permanent slot in team by showing good and consistence performance. Pakistan relying mostly on spinner in this series and will try to improve there terrible test record at home.
Yes ,you are right. ICC want to make money and Don't matter which team will play against any team but India and Pak match is more exciting than any other team of the tournament. Indian team is at the top in the all formats,the reason behind this is their best domestic cricket. I think ICC will give priority in all cases because India is generation most of the revenue of ICC and ICC have to give importance to the Indian team. Indian team talked about the series,then ICC gave permission for that series. India have no hurdle against anything because they have power of public and ICC have to bend in front of India and That is the reason Indian government became successful to not send team into Pakistan without any logical issue.
Again the India Pakistan matches hype will be there only if Pakistan team is also in a good form and shows a reasonable performance. Over the years we have seen that the Indian team has made good progress in the ICC tournaments while Pakistan usually get out early in the tournaments. Also, expect a few matches, it is only the India who comes out as a winner whenever these two teams play. If this imbalance continues, I don't think ICC will be able to generate passion for this Pakistan vs India matches.
Well. In that case the BCCI can throw them breadcrumbs in the form of limited overs only bilaterals. But they need to be strict about test format. The presence of weaker teams such as Bangladesh and West Indies is one of the major reasons for the decline of viewership for test cricket. If things doesn't change, then test cricket will simply die out in the long run. Even now, it is mostly the middle aged and elderly fans who keep test cricket alive (exceptions being BGT and Ashes, which seems to have a broader viewership).
Agreed. I feel that the ODI format is already close to getting scrapped while the T20 format is ballooning in popularity. Test format is somewhere in between the two at the moment in my opinion. The 2 division strategy could help it stay relevant if it gets implemented later on. There's also the T10 format which is slowly and steadily gaining traction.
