India’s hopes of qualifying for the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2025/27 final have remained alive after the West Indies blew away the Pakistan side for just 120 runs in the fourth innings to earn the victory by 90 runs during the opening Test of the two-match series at the Brian Lara Stadium in Tarouba in Trinidad.

West Indies were bundled out for 311 runs in the first innings and gained a small lead of 29 runs by bundling out the tourists for 282 after Justin Greaves returned with figures of 5/27 in 11 overs. Apart from Babar Azam’s unbeaten knock of 58 runs, no one could stand with the bat as the visitors were bowled out for 120 in the fourth innings.

Pakistan have the slightest of chances to qualify for the final of the WTC 2025/27. They will need to win all of the rest of the games in the competition and still expect a few results to go in their way.

Moreover, those games won’t be easy as they would face England in English conditions and a confident West Indies side on a challenging surface in Trinidad.
