Watch: Mocked By Pakistan Star Sajid Khan After Dismissal, West Indies Spinner Takes Epic Revenge

On a pitch tailor-made for spinners, an epic contest unfolded between West Indies and Pakistan in the second Test at Multan. While Pakistan hoped to pull the game in their favour by producing a rank-turner wicket, West Indies rose against the odds to secure a historic victory. For the Windies, Jomel Warrican was the pick of the bowlers, bagging 9 wickets in the match.
