Shafique Achieves Rare Test Feat for Pakistan in West Indies

AI-synthesized · Bias removed · Facts only

Abdullah Shafique scored an unbeaten 160 in the first innings of the second Test match against the West Indies, becoming the first Pakistani batter to achieve a milestone in nearly five decades.

Shafique was brought into Pakistan’s playing XI as a replacement for Shan Masood and batted at No. 3. He faced an impressive 323 balls during his innings, remaining not out and helping his team gain control of the match in Port of Spain.

The batter became only the fifth Pakistani player to score 150 or more runs in a Test innings played in the West Indies. However, notably, Shafique is the first to accomplish this feat since 1977 – a gap of 49 years.
