Babar Azam's resilience shone despite Pakistan's loss, with a stellar performance alongside Shan Masood. However, Masood emphasised the need for the team to capitalise on key moments, stressing the importance of learning to win in crucial situations.

CAPE TOWN, Jan 6 (Reuters) - Pakistan may have lost their test series in South Africa 2-0, but captain Shan Masood saw enough from his side to believe there are better days ahead as they held their own for long periods in challenging conditions.

Pakistan and West Indies last faced each other in the red-ball format in 2021 in the Caribbean, where the two-match series was levelled 1-1. Pakistan under the leadership of Masood will be looking to win their second consecutive home series after they defeated England 2-1 in October last year.
