MULTAN: West Indies spin-trio baffled Pakistani batters to secure a historic 120-run Test victory over Pakistan to level the two-match series 1-1 at the Multan Cricket Stadium.
Jomel Warrican took a five-wicket haul to lead visitors to send Pakistan all out for 133 in chase of a decent 254-run target on Multan’s rank turner.
West Indies won a Test match in Pakistan for the first time in nearly 35 years on Monday.
Warrican finished with nine wickets in the match — 19 in the series — to give the hosts a taste of their own medicine on spin-friendly pitches.
The last time the West Indies won a Test in Pakistan was in Faisalabad in November 1990, having gone winless on their 1997 and 2006 tours.
Resuming on 76-4 and chasing 254, Pakistan’s hopes of victory rested on Saud Shakeel but Kevin Sinclair had the left-hander caught in the slip for 13 to further dent the home team’s fading chances.
Babar Azam top-scored with 31 while Mohammad Rizwan made 25 as Pakistan were bundled out for 133.
Warrican bowled nightwatchman Kashif Ali with a straighter one-for-one, leaving Pakistan in tatters at 76-6.
Rizwan added 39 for the seventh wicket with Salman Ali Agha before Warrican dismissed Salman leg before for 15 and bowled Rizwan to bring the tourists within two wickets of victory.
Gudakesh Motie, who took 2-35, removed Noman Ali for six while Warrican deservedly took the last wicket, bowling Sajid Khan for seven to seal the victory.
The defeat sent Pakistan crashing to ninth and last in the World Test Championship table while the West Indies finished eighth.
