Pakistan vs West Indies – second Test: Warrican leads 120-run comeback win
For the first time in nearly 35 years, the West Indies won a test match in Pakistan to end their two-game series with a 1-1 victory.
The visitors won the second Test in Multan on Monday with a 120-run victory.
Pakistan won the first Test by 127 runs, but Warrican’s nine wickets, which were the hosts’ 19th of the series, gave them a taste of their own medicine on sharply spinning pitches.
The West Indies lost all three of their Test victories in Pakistan in November 1990, winning only in Faisalabad.
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.
As Pakistan were bundled out for 133, Babar Azam led with 31 while Mohammad Rizwan had 25.
With a straight-for-one one-for-one bowl, Warrican left Pakistan in disarray, leaving Pakistan at 76-6.
Salman Ali Agha and Rizwan both added 39 for the seventh wicket before Warrican dismissed Salman before for 15 and bowled Rizwan to bring the tourists to victory by two wickets.
Noman Ali was taken for six by Gudakesh Motie in the bowling match, while Warrican deservedly took the final wicket, bowling Sajid Khan for seven, to seal the victory.
Pakistan fell to ninth and last place in the World Test Championship while the West Indies placed eighth.
