Babar Azam Run Out for 88, Extending Test Century Drought Against West Indies
Pakistan captain Babar Azam was run out for 88 during the second Test against West Indies in Port of Spain, extending his wait for a Test century to nearly four years since December 2022. The dismissal occurred after a mix-up with partner Abdullah Shafique, who declined a risky single, allowing West Indies' Brandon King to execute a direct hit. Despite Babar's strong innings, Pakistan trailed West Indies and faced pressure as their middle order faltered. Abdullah Shafique remained unbeaten on 160, helping Pakistan post 387 in their first innings.
