- Pakistan are unbeaten in each of their last seven multigame bilateral men’s Test series against West Indies (W4 D3), with the most recent one ending in a 1-1 draw (August 2021); the last time the Windies beat the Shaheens in such a series was in May 2000.
- West Indies have won just two of their last 12 multigame bilateral men’s Test series played away from home (D1 L9), with their most recent such series ending in a 0-3 loss to England (July 2024); the Windies last such series win came in Zimbabwe (1-0 in February 2023).
- Pakistan have won just two of their last 10 men’s Tests (L8), including losses in each of their last two; however, the Shaheens have won each of their last two matches in the format played at home, after going winless in each of their previous 11 such matches (D4 L7).
- West Indies have lost each of their last three men’s Tests played away from home; the last time they went on a longer such run was a stretch of four losses between November 2021 and December 2022.
- Pakistan have scored 43.1% of their 4,332 runs in men’s Tests since the start of 2024 via boundaries, the lowest such share by any side; in fact, the Shaheens have struck a boundary once in every 16.4 deliveries in the format during the same period, the third slowest by any side behind Afghanistan (17.8) and Zimbabwe (16.6).
- West Indies have logged a catch success rate of 73% in men’s Tests since the start of 2024, the joint second lowest by any side (also Afghanistan) behind Bangladesh (70.8%); the Windies have dropped 34 of the 126 chances presented to them during this period.
- Kraigg Brathwaite (5,851 runs) is 149 runs away from becoming the 10th West Indies batter to score 6,000 runs in men’s Tests; however, his batting average of 20.7 in the format in 2024 was his second lowest in calendar year (min. 5 matches played) after 2019 (16.8).
- Babar Azam (Pakistan) has logged 50+ scores in each of his last two men’s Tests innings (81 & 58); indeed, it is the only instance where Babar has logged 50+ scores in each of the first two innings of a calendar year in the format.
- Kavem Hodge (West Indies) logged a 50+ score in his most recent innings in men’s Tests (55 vs Bangladesh in November 2024) and has never logged 50+ scores in back-to-back innings in the format; in fact, he is the only Windies batter to score 500+ runs in men’s Tests since the start of 2024 (516 runs).
- Sajid Khan (Pakistan) picked up 10 wickets in his most recent men’s Test (10/197 vs England in October 2024); the last and the only time he picked up more wickets in a match in the format was in December 2021 (12/128 vs Bangladesh).
