Greaves, the last recognized batter, played on to seamer Mohammad Ali\u2019s delivery back onto his stumps after adding just two runs to his total as he attempted a cross batted shot, but got a big inside edge.<\/p>\n<p>Pakistan\u2019s last Test win away from home came against Sri Lanka in 2023 during Babar\u2019s first tenure as captain before Shan Masood led the side for nearly three years during which Pakistan lost 3-0 in Australia; 2-0 in South Africa; 2-0 in Bangladesh.<\/p>\n<p>Masood was eventually relieved from the captaincy after Pakistan\u2019s dismal run in red-ball cricket, but the return of Babar as skipper saw Pakistan losing the first Test at Tarouba for Pakistan\u2019s eighth loss away from home in three years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"publish-time\" id=\"end-of-article\">Published on Aug 05, 2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/sportstar.thehindu.com\/cricket\/pakistan-beats-west-indies-second-test-match-result-highlights-score\/article71310907.ece\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pakistan ended its eight-match losing streak away from home in Test matches with a resounding eight-wicket victory over the West Indies in the second and final match on Wednesday.
