Noman Ali shined with the ball, taking an impressive six wickets as Pakistan bowled out West Indies for 163 in their first innings of the second Test in Multan. Pakistan’s newcomer Kashif Ali also made an impact, dismissing Mikyle Louis in his very first over.
Noman Ali made history during the match by claiming a hat-trick, becoming the first Pakistani spinner to achieve this milestone. His victims included Justin Greaves, Tevin Imlach, and Kevin Sinclair, marking a memorable moment in Pakistan’s cricket history.
West Indies did have some resistance, thanks to Gudakesh Motie, who scored a solid 55 runs. Lower-order batters Kemar Roach (25) and Jomel Warrican (36) also contributed valuable runs, but it wasn’t enough to push their total to a competitive score.
With this performance, Pakistan gained a significant advantage in the series. The home team already leads 1-0, following a commanding 127-run victory in the first Test.
This match has further highlighted Pakistan’s strong bowling attack, particularly in spin-friendly conditions. Noman Ali’s exceptional performance and Kashif Ali’s promising debut are positive signs for Pakistan as they aim to wrap up the series with another win.
The series so far has showcased some great individual performances and exciting cricket. The focus now shifts to how Pakistan builds on their lead and whether West Indies can fight back to level the series.
