West Indies claimed a first Test win in Pakistan since 1990 and levelled the series after Jomel Warrican’s five-for secured a 120-run victory on day three of the second Test in Multan.
Resuming on 76-4 and chasing 178 runs for victory, Pakistan lost both overnight batters without adding to the total, as Kevin Sinclair (3-61) had Saud Shakeel caught in the slips off the third ball of the morning and Warrican clean bowled nightwatchman Kashif Ali (1) in the next over.
Mohammad Rizwan (25) and Salman Ali Agha (15) added 39 runs before they both fell to the left-arm spin of Warrican (5-27).
Salman, who earlier survived a close stumping chance off Warrican, was trapped LBW, before Rizwan was bowled by a delivery that spun back into him and left Pakistan on 122-8.
Gudakesh Motie (2-35) dismissed Noman Ali (6) before Warrican mopped up the tail by clean bowling fellow spinner Sajid Khan (7).
It was a remarkable turnaround for West Indies who lost the first Test by 127 runs at the same venue and were 38-7 on day one of the second Test after Noman’s historic hat-trick.

However, the West Indies’ lower order lifted them to 163 all out for a slender first-innings lead of nine runs.
Captain Kraigg Brathwaite’s (52) half-century in the second innings then led West Indies to post 244 for an overall lead of 253 runs, before Pakistan’s batters fell into their own trap of a turning pitch against the tourists’ spinners.
Defeat for Pakistan pushed them to the bottom of the World Test Championship table as both teams ended their two-year campaigns.
