In reply, Pakistan had no answers to the spin attack yet again. They needed someone to play a big innings but that didn’t come. A couple of their batters got off to starts but could not kick on. Pakistan will be quite disappointed with their effort in this game. West Indies on the other hand, will be very proud of the performance they have put up.
Their spinners though rose to the occasion and helped West Indies gain a very small lead and then it was their batters who finally came to the fore. They put in their best performance of the series at a crucial time and it was Kraigg Brathwaite who led the way with a fine half ton. He helped his side set a target of over 250 which was going to be a really tough ask on this wicket.
Except for the first session of Day 1, the other sessions belonged to the visitors. They were reeling at 9 down for less than a 100 but Warrican and Motie batted brilliantly and took them above 150 which we still didn’t feel was enough. Kemar Roach played a big part too with the bat. We feel it was at that point where West Indies showed a lot of fight and turned the game at that very moment. Noman Ali though became the first spinner to take a hat trick in Tests for Pakistan. His six fer helped his team to keep West Indies near 160.
For the Pakistan batters, it was just a test to forget, we expected them to show some fight on Day 3 but they have surrendered. They entered the day with six wickets in hand and it has taken the Windies around 20 overs to get those wickets. Quite an embarrassing loss in the end. The home team have failed in crunch situations to play the spin and they'll be aware of the fact that they have to improve a lot and not depend on one player or so.
West Indies win a Test match in Pakistan after 34 long years. What a fine win for the visitors and they have managed to level the series! Yet again it was their spinners this morning. The likes of Kevin Sinclair and Jomel Warrican spun a web. The two took 8 wickets between them with Warrican recording a fifer.
