In a thrilling encounter at Multan, the West Indies leveled their Test series against Pakistan with a commanding 120-run victory. The star performers for the West Indies were their spin trio—Jomel Warrican, Kevin Sinclair, and Gudakesh Motie—who shared all ten wickets in Pakistan’s second innings. Warrican was particularly impressive with 5 wickets for just 27 runs, helping Pakistan crumble to 133 while chasing a target of 254. This dominant bowling performance saw the West Indies take a crucial step towards leveling the series, following a resilient Pakistan fightback earlier in the match.

Pakistan had started the third day needing 254 runs, but they lost their final six wickets in just 20 overs. Early breakthroughs, including the dismissals of Saud Shakeel and nightwatchman Kashif Ali, left the home team reeling at 76 for 6. A brief partnership between Mohammad Rizwan and Salman Ali Agha (39 runs) showed some resistance, but Warrican and Sinclair soon dismissed them. By the time the final wicket fell, Pakistan’s challenge had ended.

The match was also marked by notable performances from Pakistan’s bowlers, especially left-arm spinner Noman Ali, who took 10 wickets in the match, showcasing his skill. Despite his efforts, it wasn’t enough to save Pakistan, and the West Indies were able to secure their fifth Test victory on Pakistani soil.

This victory sets up a thrilling finale to the series, with both teams now tied, making the next encounter all the more crucial for both sides.
