1st Test: Hope, Greaves's Fightback Keep WI Alive Against NZ In Christchurch

By IANS News December 05, 2025 • 13:00 PM View: 78

The West Indies: Shai Hope's unbeaten century, along with Justin Greaves' 54 not out, powered the West Indies to 212/4, needing 319 to pull off what would be a remarkable chase after New Zealand declared on 466-8 on Day 4 of the first Test here at Hagley Oval on Friday.

The Windies survived a tricky period before lunch at 20 without loss. Jacob Duffy, who claimed a maiden five-wicket haul in the first innings, removed John Campbell and Tagenarine Chanderpaul cheaply, while Michael Bracewell added the wicket of Alick Athanaze, seemingly putting the Black Caps on course for a victory inside four days.

However, Hope and Greaves had other plans, digging deep to carry the contest into the final day as they set their sights on the daunting 531-run chase.
