Bhogle recalled visiting Queen's Park Oval when it was filled with passionate spectators and contrasted those memories with the scenes during the Test. Writing on X, he remarked that there appeared to be more people playing on the field than watching from the stands, describing the low turnout as a significant reflection of the situation facing Test cricket in the region.

Pakistan's victory ended an eight-match losing streak in away Tests. The visitors successfully chased a target of 75 shortly after lunch on the fourth day, finishing at 77 for two. Abdullah Shafique and captain Babar Azam remained unbeaten on 24 each, guiding Pakistan to victory after two early wickets briefly interrupted the chase.

Imam-ul-Haq was dismissed for nine after Justin Greaves took a sharp catch in the slip cordon off Jayden Seales. Shamar Joseph then bowled Azan Awais for 18 before Shafique and Babar completed the chase. Babar sealed the victory in emphatic fashion by hitting consecutive sixes against left-arm spinner Jomel Warrican.

West Indies had earlier been bowled out for 117 in their second innings as Pakistan's spinners took advantage of the wearing surface. Sajid Khan returned figures of four for 32, while left-arm spinner Ali Usman claimed four for 39. Their combined eight wickets ensured that Pakistan received a modest target despite Warrican's six-wicket haul restricting the visitors' first-innings lead to 43 runs.

The result helped Pakistan maintain their unbeaten record in Test series against the West Indies since 2000. The hosts had won the opening match at Tarouba by 90 runs, but Pakistan responded decisively in Port of Spain to share the series. Despite the competitive cricket and series-leveling result, the largely vacant stands emerged as one of the match's main talking points.
