Noman Ali Takes Historic Hat-Trick as West Indies Bowled Out for 163

Noman Ali made history by becoming the first Pakistani spinner to take a hat-trick in Test cricket during the second Test against West Indies in Multan, dismissing Justin Greaves, Tevin Imlach, and Kevin Sinclair in consecutive deliveries. He finished the day with figures of 6-41, contributing to West Indies being bowled out for just 163 runs. This remarkable achievement places Ali among notable Pakistani bowlers, making him the fifth overall to achieve a Test hat-trick, joining legends like Wasim Akram and Abdul Razzaq. The match showcased Pakistan's spin dominance, as spinners claimed nine out of ten wickets, leading to a collapse of the West Indies batting lineup from 32-2 to 38-8. Despite Gudakesh Motie's resistance with a career-best 55, the West Indies struggled throughout the innings. Pakistan's spin-heavy strategy proved effective once again, following their success in the first Test.
