The cricketing world witnessed a gripping contest in Multan as Pakistan faced off against West Indies in the second Test match of their series. Despite a promising start, the Pakistani side crumbled under pressure, culminating in a significant loss marked by the dismissal of their key player, Mohammad Rizwan. Jomel Warrican emerged as the star of the match, delivering a performance that not only secured victory for the West Indies but also highlighted the fragility of Pakistan’s batting lineup.

Jomel Warrican cleans up Mohammad Rizwan with an arm ball

Rizwan, who has been a linchpin in Pakistan’s batting order, showcased resilience during his innings. Scoring 25 runs off 62 balls, he managed to hold the innings together for a brief period, becoming the second-highest scorer for his team after Babar Azam‘s 31 runs. However, his dismissal was a turning point that sent shockwaves through the Pakistani camp. In the 42nd over, Rizwan faced a beautifully bowled delivery from Warrican that pitched on the fourth stump line and spun back sharply. As he leaned forward to defend, a gap between his bat and pad allowed the ball to sneak through and rattle his leg stump, leaving him stunned and the crowd in disbelief.

Warrican’s spellbinding performance in 2nd Test

Warrican’s bowling was nothing short of magical throughout this match. His ability to spin the ball sharply on a turning pitch proved too much for many Pakistani batters. The West Indian spinner ended with impressive figures of five wickets for just 27 runs in Pakistan’s second innings, contributing significantly to their total collapse for just 133 runs. This performance not only helped secure a historic victory for the West Indies but also marked Warrican as a standout player in this series, finishing with a match haul of nine wickets.

The pressure was palpable as Pakistan entered their second innings needing 254 runs to win. After losing early wickets, including that of their star batter Babar, the team struggled to build partnerships. The loss of Rizwan further exacerbated their woes; it was evident that his wicket had demoralized the players. The West Indies bowlers capitalized on this momentum, swiftly dismantling Pakistan’s batting order and clinching victory by 120 runs.

The final match of the 2-match Test series between Pakistan and West Indies had everything. History books were re-written, and the crowd witnessed an unmatched rivalry between players of the two sides. Bowlers dominated the course of the play while batters crashed like a pack of cards. Overall, West Indies outperformed Pakistan to clinch a historic Test win at the Multan Cricket Stadium at a time when odds were completely against them. The visitors ended their tour to Pakistan with their heads held high as they crafted a stunning comeback against Pakistan after a disastrous display with the bat on the opening day of the Test.

Pakistan succumbed to the West Indies bowling onslaught

Day 3 of the second Test started with Pakistan already on back foot at 71/4 with still a mountain to climb considering the pitch had already shown significant support to spinners throughout the series. The opening session too did not bring any relief for the home side as wickets kept falling in quick succession with the spin trio of Jomel Warrican, Kevin Sinclair and Gudakesh Motie rattled the remaining Pakistani innings.

While seasoned Pakistan batter Saud Shakeel was sent back to the pavilion by Sinclair, Warrican brought an end to the resistance from Kashif Ali, Mohammad Rizwan and Salman Ali Agha. After the traditional batters were sent back to the pavilion, it was only a matter of time when West Indies clinched the remaining wickets and registered a monumental Test win against Pakistan by 120 runs. This is their first Test win on Pakistani soil in a span of 34 years. The last time a Caribbean side defeated Pakistan on their home turf was during their tour to Pakistan in 1990/91 when they triumphed over the home side by 7 wickets.

A master-class from West Indies bowlers

Even though West Indies batters crashed in the first innings, they made a stunning comeback during their second innings to score 244 runs in 66.1 overs. With a 9-run lead over Pakistan after the end of the 1st Pakistani innings, the home team needed 253 runs to win the final Test and clinch a series win.

However, West Indies bowlers had some other thoughts, in absence of experienced pacer Kemar Roach, who could not bowl after a groin injury on the second day of the match, the West Indies spinners ran the show and completely dismantled the Pakistani batting order. The highest any Pakistani batter could score in front of West Indies spinners was a 31-run knock by Babar Azam.

Warrican was the most successful West Indies spinner who clinched 5 wickets during Pakistan’s second innings and gave away just 27 runs in his 16 over spell. Sinclair and Motie too, supported him with their impeccable performances taking 3 and 2 wickets respectively. Pakistan’s 2nd innings could only last for 43 overs as they were bowled out for 133 runs.

The defeat had a detrimental effect on Pakistan’s position in the World Test Championship (WTC) table for the current cycle. With 9 defeats in 14 matches, they finish at the bottom of the table with just 27.98 Percentage Points (PCT). The West Indies on the other hand, finished above Pakistan in the current WTC cycle with 8 defeats and 28.21 PCT points.

The second day of the final Test match between Pakistan and West Indies began with the visitors garnering a 9-run lead as the match was finely poised after Pakistan was bowled out for 154 runs on Day 1 of the Test match. What happened on the second day of the Test was nothing short of miraculous as West Indies batters put up a brave fight against Pakistan’s bowling unit.

West Indies’ batting put up a determined stand against Pakistan spinners

The West Indies batting resistance started with skipper Kraigg Brathwaite, leading the way in a remarkable display with the bat to score 52 runs off 74 balls star-studded with 4 boundaries and 2 sixes. Debutant Amir Jangoo supported the West Indies captain, putting up a handy score of 30 runs off 52 deliveries.

The second innings of the visitors appeared to be de-railing after the two set batters were dismissed by the emphatic spin of Pakistan’s spin sensation, Noman Ali. But the tailenders put up a brilliant show against the spin onslaught, adding valuable runs on the board for the West Indies. Wicket-keeper batter Tevin Imlach scored 35 runs while Kevin Sinclair added 28 runs to the visitor’s 2nd innings.

Tailenders Gudakesh Motie and Jomel Warrican scored 18 runs each to put the West Indies in a commanding position at 244 runs. With the 9-run lead before the innings, West Indies gave the home side a total of 253 runs to win the Test match. Sajid Khan and Noman Ali shared a large portion of West Indies wickets with each spinner clinching 4 wickets for the home side. Kashif Ali and Abrar Ahmed had 1 wicket each to their name.

The dreadful show of the Pakistan batters continued as the entire Pakistani top and middle order collapsed in front of the spin storm of Sinclair and Motie. While Sinclair got rid of skipper Shan Masood and Babar Azam. Muhammad Hurraira was dismissed by Motie and Kamran Ghulam was sent back to the pavilion by Jomel Warrrican after being caught in the slips by Jangoo.

At the end of the day’s play, the home side was struggling at 76 runs for 4 wickets in 24 overs. Pakistan still needs 178 runs to win the Test match with just 6 wickets in hand. Saud Shakeel and Kamran Ghulam are on the crease for Pakistan with Mohammad Rizwan yet to bat.

Wickets fell and batters crashed like a pack of cards on the 1st day of the final Test match between Pakistan and West Indies at Multan Cricket Stadium. As expected, it was a slow turning track which was visibly dry and a safe haven for spinners to dominate. West Indies won the toss and elected to bat first hoping that they might put some runs on the board before the pitch starts helping Pakistani spinners. However, the opposite happened for the visiting side.

A Noman Ali spin-storm

The West Indies had a dreadful start to the game after debutant Kashif Ali got rid of the opener Mikyle Louis early. The concerns aggravated after debutant Amir Jangoo too was sent back to the pavilion on a duck by Sajid Khan. The visitors had already lost 2 wickets with just 9 runs on the board.

The situation became hopeless for the West Indies as skipper Kraigg Braithwaite was dismissed by ace Pakistani spinner Noman Ali. The spin storm from the 38-year-old continued as he took a sensational hat-trick by dismissing Justin Greaves, Tevin Imlach and Kevin Sinclair back to the pavilion becoming the first Pakistani spinner to achieve this historic feat.

Tailenders Gudakesh Motie, Kemar Roach, and Jomel Warrican offered a stiff resistance to the spin onslaught from the home side. The three batters stabilized the West Indies innings to some extent which was once de-railed at 54 runs for the loss of 8 wickets. While Roach was dismissed on 25 runs facing 45 balls, a 10th wicket partnership of 68 runs between Motie and Warrican helped West Indies reach a total of 163 runs in 41.1 overs. Motie was the final wicket for the West Indies as he was bowled by Ali on 55 runs. Crucially, Ali took both the last remaining Caribbean wickets and completed his 6-wicket haul in the first innings.

A horror-show from the Pakistani batters

Pakistan might have hoped that they are in control of the Test match up until the end of West Indies 1st innings, but the West Indies bowling unit were up for the fight giving a tit for tat trouble to the home team’s batting line-up. Crucially, while it was largely a one-man show for Pakistani bowlers, West Indies’ combined effort cruised them back into the game as they decimated the seasoned and experienced Pakistani batting line-up.

Apart from Mohammed Rizwan and Saud Shakeel who made 49 and 32 runs for their side respectively, the entire Pakistani batting line-up succumbed to the determined bowling display from the visitor. Pacer Roach started the counter-attack for West Indies getting rid of openers Mohammad Huraira and skipper Shan Masood.

The openers?dismissals opened the floodgates of dismissals for Pakistan as the entire middle-order derailed in front of West Indies bowlers. Warrican was the star of the West Indies bowling unit taking 4 wickets, Motie and Roach too, did not disappoint clinching 3 and 2 wickets respectively. The entire Pakistani batting order was wrapped up on 154 runs in 47 runs. The home side even after their solid bowling display trail behind the visitors by 9 runs at the end of the day’s play.

The turning track of the Multan Cricket Stadium has done the trick for Pakistan once again. The spin duo of Noman Ali and Sajid Khan has once again dominated the West Indies batting line-up with their lethal spin bowling.

The most important part of the Pakistani spin attack, Ali has clinched a historic milestone to his name on the first day of the Test match, marking an important achievement in his individual career and for Test cricket in Pakistan.

Noman Ali’s spin master-class decimate West Indies

West Indies had a dreadful start to the second Test. Opener Mikyle Louis and debutant top-order batter Amir Jangoo were dismissed even before the visiting side could register 10 runs on the board. However, the real domination was yet to begin. The 38-year-old started the day by dismissing West Indies skipper Kraigg Braithwaite who was trying to offer some resistance in front of the spin onslaught from Pakistan.

Ali then went on to annihilate the remaining West Indies hope by sending Justin Greaves, Tevin Imlach and Kevin Sinclair back to the pavilion consecutively. While Greaves and Sinclair gave their wickets away getting caught on the second-slip by Babar Azam, Imlach was dismissed while attempting to sweep the ball, completely missing the turning delivery in the process which hit his pads instead.

With these wickets, Ali has managed to achieve a remarkable milestone by becoming the Pakistani spinner to secure a hat-trick in Test cricket and 5th bowler of their country to secure the glorious feat overall. Before him, only Wasim Akram, Mohammad Sami, Abdul Razzaq and Naseem Shah have managed to secure a hat-trick in Test cricket.

Pitch remain the centre of discussion 

The pitch at the Multan Cricket Stadium has witnessed unconventional turn and a conducive environment for spin bowling. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and the team management were subjected to severe criticisms from the cricketing community considering the kind of turning track made for the Test series against West Indies.

Amidst growing objections from the cricketing world over deliberately making a turning track to win the Test series, Pakistan head coach Aaqib Javed entered the discussions and defended the host nations?decision of making turning pitches asserting that Pakistan would have reached the finals of World Test Championship (WTC) had this decision were taken earlier.

“The rule of test cricket is to win at home. If you win at home and you win 2-3 tests away, you become a strong candidate for the final. We played in South Africa and didn’t field a spinner there due to the conditions. Similarly, pitches in Australia and England favor pace bowlers. Every country prepares pitches according to their advantage to win matches. I don’t understand the problem with spin-friendly wickets. If pace bowlers take wickets, people say cricket is progressing, but if spinners take wickets, they say cricket is going backward. I don’t understand this,?/em> Javed said during a pre-match press conference.

Pakistan are currently leading the two-match Test series. Their previous face-off against the West Indies ended in favour of the home side as they won the match by 127 runs.

After a low-scoring encounter in the first Test, Pakistan and West Indies are set to face each other for the final time in the 2-match Test series. Pakistan’s promising display with the bowl and its spinners?prowess enabled the home side to dominate West Indies and outperform their batting department.

In the second Test, both teams will have different objectives in mind. Pakistan will rely on their impressive spin duo of Noman Ali and Sajid Khan, aiming to complete a clean sweep of the home series and finish the World Test Championship (WTC) cycle on a high note. Meanwhile, the West Indies face the challenge of overcoming the spinning threat from Pakistan’s bowlers. Their best hope would be to secure a victory and draw the series.

The pitch at Multan is expected to heavily favor the spinners in the upcoming red-ball match, setting the stage for what could be a scintillating contest between the bat and the bowl. With a dry surface and plenty of turn, the pitch is likely to offer a tough time to the batters throughout the game, providing ideal conditions for spin bowling. While fast bowlers may find some initial assistance with the new ball, once it gets older, the pitch is expected to remain predominantly spin-friendly.

Following a commanding 127-run victory in the first Test, Pakistan are set to face West Indies in the series decider at the Multan Cricket Stadium.

Pakistan eye clean sweep against West Indies in Multan

This match holds significant importance for Pakistan, as they aim to secure their first clean sweep at home since their 2-0 win over South Africa in 2021. Riding on a three-match winning streak in home Tests, that included victory in the last two games against England and previous game against the West Indies, Pakistan showcased their superiority in the series opener with a comprehensive performance.

In the first Test, Pakistan’s spin-dominant bowling attack was the key to their success. Defending a 251-run target, they skittled out West Indies for a paltry 123 in the second innings. Off spinner Sajid Khan was the standout performer, claiming a remarkable five-wicket haul in the second innings and continuing his reputation as a match-winner in subcontinental conditions. With the batting lineup contributing efficiently and the

Here’s predicted XI of Pakistan for the 2nd test against West Indies

1. Shan Masood (Opener)
Shan Masood displayed consistency with the bat in the first Test, scoring 63 runs across two innings. His ability to anchor the innings and adapt to challenging conditions makes him a vital component of Pakistan’s top order. He also contributed by striking three boundaries and two sixes, showcasing an attacking edge when needed. Pakistan will rely on him to provide a solid foundation in the second Test.

2. Muhammad Hurraira (Opener)
Muhammad Hurraira had a quiet start to the series, scoring 35 runs in the first Test. As a young and promising opener, he will look to improve his strike rotation and build partnerships. His aggressive style can be an asset on flatter surfaces, and Pakistan will hope he converts starts into substantial innings in the upcoming game.

3. Babar Azam (No. 3)
Babar Azam endured a rare failure in the first Test, managing only 13 runs across two innings. Known for his elegance and consistency, the skipper will aim to lead from the front in the second Test. With his ability to dominate bowlers in all conditions, Babar remains a pivotal player in Pakistan’s batting lineup.

4. Saud Shakeel (No. 4)
Saud Shakeel was Pakistan’s top scorer in the first Test, amassing 86 runs, including a well-crafted 84 in the first innings. His solid technique and composure under pressure make him a dependable middle-order batter. Saud will look to continue his good form and capitalize on starts to post big scores.

5. Mohammad Rizwan (Wicketkeeper, No. 5)
Rizwan contributed 73 runs in the first Test, including a gritty 71 in the second innings. As a dependable wicketkeeper-batter, he is the glue that holds Pakistan’s middle order together. Rizwan’s ability to counterattack under pressure and marshal the lower order will be crucial in the second Test.

6. Kamran Ghulam (No. 6)
Kamran Ghulam had a subdued outing in the first Test, managing only 32 runs. A versatile batter, he has the ability to stabilize the innings and play spin effectively. He will aim to step up and support the team’s middle order with a significant contribution in the second Test.

7. Agha Salman (No. 7)
Agha Salman struggled in the first Test, scoring just 16 runs. As an all-rounder, he provides a valuable option with both bat and ball. While his batting form needs improvement, his part-time off-spin can add depth to Pakistan’s bowling attack.

8. Sajid Khan (Off-Spinner)
Sajid Khan was the standout bowler in the first Test, claiming nine wickets, including a 5-wicket haul. His ability to extract turn and bounce makes him a key weapon in Pakistan’s spin-heavy attack. Sajid will aim to replicate his match-winning performance and trouble the West Indies’ batters again.

9. Noman Ali (Left-Arm Spinner)
Noman Ali was instrumental in the first Test, taking six wickets, including a 5-for in the second innings. His accuracy and guile make him a dependable spinner in subcontinental conditions. Noman will look to maintain his wicket-taking form and provide crucial breakthroughs.

10. Abrar Ahmed (Leg-Spinner)
Abrar Ahmed was Pakistan’s most economical bowler in the first Test, picking up five wickets at a stunning average of 6.60. His ability to deceive batters with flight and turn adds variety to the spin attack. Abrar will play a critical role in controlling the scoring rate and providing wickets in the middle overs.

11. Khurram Shahzad (Pacer)
Khurram Shahzad bowled just one over in the first Test as spinners dominated proceedings. As Pakistan’s sole pacer, his role in extracting swing and reverse swing will be crucial. Shahzad’s inclusion provides balance to the attack, offering a pace option to complement the spin quartet.

Pakistan stamped their authority with a resounding 127-run victory over the West Indies in the opening Test at Multan, showcasing a blend of resilience and brilliance across all departments. Pakistan’s spin attack, led by Noman Ali, Sajid Khan and Abrar Ahmed proved too hot to handle for the West Indies as the visitors collapsed for 123, falling short of their target of 251. With this dominant display, Pakistan took a crucial 1-0 lead, leaving the visitors with plenty to ponder ahead of the next Test in the series.

Saud Shakeel and Mohammad Rizwan stabilize Pakistan’s first innings

Batting first on a dry and spin-friendly Multan surface, Pakistan overcame early jitters to post a respectable total of 230, thanks to a stellar partnership between Saud Shakeel and Mohammad Rizwan. After losing four quick wickets with just 54 runs on the board, the pair weathered the storm, countering disciplined spells from Jayden Seales and Jomel Warrican. Shakeel played with remarkable patience, crafting a mature 84 that held the innings together, while Rizwan added a counter-attacking 71.

Their 117-run stand not only steadied the innings but also sapped the energy out of the West Indies bowlers. However, the lower order faltered against a second wave of precision from the bowlers, with Seales and Warrican finishing with three wickets each. Pakistan’s total, while not imposing, proved competitive given the challenging conditions and the lack of consistent partnerships from the opposition.

Noman Ali’s five-wicket haul demolishes West Indies

Pakistan’s spinners completely outclassed the West Indies batters, skittling them out for a paltry 137 and establishing a vital first-innings lead of 93 runs. Noman was the architect of this collapse, claiming figures of 5/39 with impeccable line and length, exploiting the surface’s turn and bounce. His deliveries consistently tested the batters?technique, often inducing false strokes and edging them into the waiting hands of fielders.

Sajid complemented him brilliantly, taking 4/65, ensuring relentless pressure from both ends. The visitors never found rhythm, with only Jomel Warrican showing some fight with an unbeaten 31, as wickets tumbled in clusters. Pakistan’s sharp fielding added to the West Indies?misery, with catches in close positions reflecting their superior preparation. The collapse exposed the visitors?vulnerability against spin, a recurring challenge that Pakistan capitalized on masterfully.

Sajid Khan, Abrar Ahmad seal a dominant win despite Jomel Warrican’s heroics

Pakistan’s second innings faced initial tremors, but Shan Masood’s composed 52 and Mohammad Hurraira’s handy 29 helped them post a target of 251, despite Warrican’s career-best figures of 7/32. The left-arm spinner’s spell was a masterclass in precision, dismantling Pakistan’s batting order and briefly igniting hopes for the West Indies. However, the visitors’ batting unit once again crumbled under pressure, this time against the combined efforts of Sajid and Abrar.

Sajid’s 4/35 and Abrar’s 4/27 spun a web around the batters, leaving them clueless. Alick Athanaze fought valiantly with a gritty 55, showcasing skill and determination, but his teammates failed to offer any meaningful resistance. The West Indies were bundled out for 123, sealing a massive 127-run win for Pakistan. The hosts?superior all-round performance underscored their dominance and exposed glaring weaknesses in the visitors’ lineup, setting a strong tone for the remainder of the series.

West Indies spinner Jomel Warrican delivered an extraordinary performance on the third day of the first Test, taking seven wickets to decimate Pakistan‘s batting order and tilt the match in his team’s favour. His efforts marked a historic achievement, making him the first West Indies spinner to claim a five-wicket haul against Pakistan on their home turf.

Pakistan’s second innings: Jomel Warrican’s masterful spell of 7 wickets

Starting their second innings at 109/3, Pakistan seemed poised to extend their lead, but Warrican’s incisive bowling shattered their momentum. He removed key players Saud Shakeel and Mohammad Rizwan, both dismissed for just two runs, reducing Pakistan to 113/5 in the 34th over.

Kamran Ghulam tried to stabilize the innings with a gritty 27, but his dismissal deepened Pakistan’s troubles. Warrican’s dominance continued as he dismissed Noman Ali (9) and Sajid Khan (5), leaving the hosts floundering at 154/9. The final blow came when Warrican executed a sharp direct hit to run out Khurram Shahzad, who was yet to face a delivery. Gudakesh Motie sealed Pakistan’s fate by dismissing Salman Ali Agha for 14, bringing their innings to a close at 154 in 46.4 overs. Warrican’s career-best figures of 7/32 in 18 overs were the standout performance of the day, with Motie adding one wicket to the tally.

A battle of grit in a low-scoring match

Shan Masood’s fifty offers brief hope

In Pakistan’s second innings, Shan Masood’s well-crafted 52 provided a solid foundation. He was supported by Ghulam, but a miscommunication between the batters led to Masood’s run-out, a moment that shifted the momentum in favor of the visitors. Warrican then capitalized on the situation, consistently troubling the batters with his accuracy and spin, eventually dismantling Pakistan’s lineup.

With a target of 251 runs, the West Indies now hold the upper hand, thanks to Warrican’s heroics. His sensational spell not only brought his team back into the contest but also set the stage for a thrilling final innings. As the visitors prepare to chase down the target, the match remains finely poised, promising an exciting finish to a gripping encounter.
