Pakistan Lose a Home Test Match for the First Time in 35 Years

Historic scenes unfolded at Multan Cricket Stadium as the West Indies ended a 35-year drought, claiming their first Test win on Pakistan soil since 1990. Under the leadership of Kraigg Brathwaite, the West Indies outplayed Pakistan in the second Test to secure this monumental victory.

The West Indies, known for their attacking mindset in limited-overs cricket, displayed their strength in the longest format of the game. Facing Pakistan in the second Test of the three-match series, the Caribbean side registered a dominant 120-run victory, breaking a 35-year-long wait for a Test win on Pakistani soil. Their victory rewrote the history books and ended their losing streak in Pakistan.

The last time West Indies won a Test on Pakistani soil was in 1990. In that match, they defeated Pakistan in the second Test of the series, with West Indies bowlers dismantling Pakistan’s batting lineup in the second innings to seal the win. This recent victory revived nostalgic memories for the team.

West Indies entered the second Test after a disappointing defeat in the first match but made a remarkable comeback. Despite facing early setbacks with the bat, Gudakesh Motie’s half-century provided crucial runs. With the ball, Jomel Warrican impressed with a four-wicket haul, and Motie contributed with three wickets in the first innings.

In their second innings, Kraigg Brathwaite’s classy half-century led the charge. The West Indies bowlers then stepped up, with Warrican’s fiery five-wicket haul tearing through Pakistan’s lineup. Their combined brilliance led them to a resounding 120-run victory, marking a historic triumph on Pakistani soil.
