August 12, 2021 12:22 PM
Pakistan and West Indies teams will play their first cricket Test of the two-match series at Kingston, Jamaica at 8 pm (PST) on Thursday (today), reported 24NewsHD TV channel.
Pakistan had won the T20I series 1-0, neither the Windies nor the visitors had seen cricket in action as the series saw three matches being completely washed out by the rain.
Pitch and conditions
Scattered showers are forecast throughout the Test match in Kingston, so significant interruptions would not be surprising.
Sabina Park has tended to play host to fair contests between bat and ball, if a little on the slower side over recent years. When Pakistan last played here in 2017, Yasir Shah was the Player of the Match, taking eight wickets.
