The poor run of scores never deterred middle order batsman Shai Hope, who always figured he would come good at the Test level by trusting in his abilities.

Hope made the comments just moments after scoring a defiant 90 – his first Test fifty – to put the Windies in a position to fight for a possible win against Pakistan on the final day of the Brighto Paints Presents The Q Mobile Cup Test at Kensington Oval.
