MULTAN: Pakistan defeated visiting West Indies team by 127 runs in Multan Test on Sunday. Pakistani spinners Sajid Khan, Abrar Ahmed and Nouman Ali were all-over West Indies players, who were in pursuit of 251-run target.

Pakistan set a target of 251 runs for West Indies to win the first Test after being bowled out for just 157 in their second innings. Sajid Khan bagged 5-wicket haul, Abrar Ahmed grabbed four wickets and Nouman Ali grabbed a single wicket. Resuming at 109/3, Pakistan’s hopes of building a solid lead were quickly dashed. Vice-captain Saud Shakeel and wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan were dismissed for just two runs each, triggering a dramatic collapse. Warrican’s quick strikes reduced Pakistan to 113/5 in the 34th over. Kamran Ghulam tried to anchor the innings, but his resistance ended at 27, leaving Pakistan further vulnerable. Warrican continued his brilliance, claiming his maiden five-wicket haul in Test cricket.  He became the first West Indies spinner to achieve such a feat against Pakistan on home soil. Warrican wasn’t done yet. He removed Noman Ali (9) and Sajid Khan (5), leaving Pakistan on the brink at 154/9.  A direct hit from Warrican ran out Khurram Shahzad without facing a ball, completing a sensational spell. The final wicket fell when Gudakesh Motie dismissed Salman Ali Agha for 14, as Pakistan were bowled out for 154 in 46.4 overs.
