Pakistan Wins First Test Against West Indies

Pakistan secured a 127-run victory over West Indies in the first Test at Multan, thanks to a dominant performance by their spinners. Sajid Khan and Noman Ali dismantled the West Indies batting line-up, with Sajid taking 9 wickets in total and Noman claiming a five-wicket haul in the second innings. West Indies were bowled out for 137 in response to Pakistan's 230, despite a spirited 31 from Jomel Warrican. Earlier, Pakistan's Saud Shakeel and Mohammad Rizwan had rescued their team from a precarious 46-4 on the first day, contributing crucial half-centuries to reach 143-4 by stumps. The spin-friendly Multan pitch saw 22 wickets fall in two days, highlighting the challenging conditions for batsmen. Pakistan now leads the two-match series 1-0, boosting their standing in the ICC World Test Championship.
