Xtra Time Web Desk: West Indies registered a thumping 120-run win against Pakistan on Day 3 of the second Test at the Multan Cricket Stadium. The victory marked their first win in Pakistan since 1990 and leveled the two-match series 1-1.

The star of the match was Jomel Warrican, whose outstanding left-arm spin dismantled Pakistan's batting lineup. Warrican recorded his second Test five-wicket haul, finishing with remarkable figures of 5/27 in 16 overs. His performance triggered a dramatic collapse, bundling Pakistan out for 133 in pursuit of a 254-run target.

Early Wickets Cripple Pakistan

Starting the day at 76/4, Pakistan lost Saud Shakeel (13) on the third ball of the day to Kevin Sinclair, caught at first slip. In the next over, Warrican castled Kashif Ali, leaving Pakistan at a precarious 76/6 without adding a run to the overnight total.

Mohammad Rizwan, the team's last hope, tried to steady the innings with Salman Agha. The duo added 39 runs for the seventh wicket. However, Warrican's relentless spell dismissed Salman Agha (15) and later dismantled Rizwan's stumps for 31, crushing Pakistan's faint hopes of a miraculous recovery.
