The result ended a prolonged drought for the Caribbean side on Asian soil.\n\nJayden Seales recorded innings figures of **5-20**, the decisive spell in blowing away the hosts. The fast bowling unit functioned with rare cohesion, winning a Test on a subcontinent pitch without relying on spin. Pace, not turn, decided the match.\n\nThe team dedicated the win to Sir Garfield Sobers, honoring the legend following the match.\n\n### How Pakistan Collapsed on Day Four\n\nPakistan needed to bat through the final session. They failed. Seales struck early and often, the pace battery maintained pressure from both ends, and wickets fell steadily until the match ended just after tea. Seales was too fast and too accurate for a lineup that lacked the application to survive him.\n\nThe second Test will show whether this pace-heavy approach can deliver twice on Asian wickets.","\u002Farticles\u002Fwest-indies-seales-pakistan-first-test",[97,98,99,100,85,101,102,103,104,105],"analysis","basketball","cricket","f1","general","golf","mma","long-reads","tennis",[107,120,132],{"id":108,"stem":108,"path":109,"title":110,"category":85,"badge":55,"badgeType":111,"author":112,"authorRole":113,"authorInitials":114,"date":115,"readTime":116,"image":117,"imageAlt":110,"tags":118,"excerpt":119},"world-cup-2026-law-changes-tactical-landscape-transformation","\u002Farticles\u002Fworld-cup-2026-law-changes-tactical-landscape-transformation","The Rules Rewritten: How 2026 World Cup Law Changes Will Reshape Tactics","category","Elena Rossi","SportPulse Contributor","ER","2026-07-02 03:03:52","7 min read","https:\u002F\u002Fichef.bbci.co.uk\u002Face\u002Fstandard\u002F976\u002Fcpsprodpb\u002F16e8\u002Flive\u002F06015330-64be-11f1-8f51-b550443b533b.jpg","World Cup, FIFA, International Football","New regulations on VAR, timewasting, and substitutions will force every coaching staff to rethink their tactical blueprint.",{"id":121,"stem":121,"path":122,"title":123,"category":85,"badge":124,"badgeType":111,"author":125,"authorRole":126,"authorInitials":127,"date":128,"readTime":116,"image":129,"imageAlt":123,"tags":130,"excerpt":131},"world-cup-2026-financial-winners-losers","\u002Farticles\u002Fworld-cup-2026-financial-winners-losers","The 2026 World Cup Money Game: Who's Winning and Who's Getting Played","Feature","Sarah Martinez","Transfer Correspondent","SM","2026-07-18 02:55:24","\u002Fimages\u002Farticles\u002Fworld-cup-2026-financial-winners-losers.webp","World Cup, FIFA, MLS, Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga","The 2026 World Cup is a financial gold rush — but not everyone strikes it rich.",{"id":133,"stem":133,"path":134,"title":135,"category":85,"badge":124,"badgeType":111,"author":112,"authorRole":113,"authorInitials":114,"date":136,"readTime":137,"image":138,"imageAlt":135,"tags":139,"excerpt":140},"infantino-fifa-corporate-ascent","\u002Farticles\u002Finfantino-fifa-corporate-ascent","Infantino's Fifa: Politics Over Pitch, Profit Over Principle","2026-07-29 17:27:00","2 min read","\u002Fimages\u002Farticles\u002Finfantino-fifa-corporate-ascent.webp","FIFA World Cup, World Football Governance","Gianni Infantino's FIFA presidency turned governance into a revenue machine, prioritizing expansion over ethical reform.
