Justin Greaves steadied West Indies' efforts in the second Test against Pakistan, posting an unbeaten 64 on the rain-shortened opening day at Queen's Park Oval in Trinidad. Playing after sustaining a left leg injury, the West Indies batsman showed his trademark ease and composure at the crease. Greaves' partnership with Roston Chase (36 not out) contributed 66 runs at stumps, while the pair batted for 53 runs together until Mohammad Ali dismissed Hope for 29.
However, Pakistan showed decision-making confusion throughout the match, dropping key wickets and fielding positions. The tourists had shifted to an off-spin option with Khan, despite Abbas being their best bowler in the previous Test. Despite the uncertain decisions, West Indies needed strong partnerships from Greaves, Shai Hope, and Chase to stay afloat, as indicated by Brandon King.
