WTC table: Pakan finishes bottom of World Test Championship after loss against West Indies | Cricket News

Pakan’s tactic to go with turners in home Tests got unstuck in the second game against the West Indies as the tours won the game 120 runs in Multan.
“We haven’t won here in a while so to come here and do it as a young group is incredible,” West Indies captain Kraigg Brathwaite said, referring to the tours’ last win in Pakan seven wickets at Faisalabad in Nov. 1990.
“On this pitch, there’s a ball with your name on it around the corner… it was a good experience. When you get on better pitches, you can have a similar mindset and it will help you in the long run.”

Warrican claimed 5-27 to finish the series with a series-leading 19 wickets and also pushed Pakan to the bottom of the World Test Championship table as both teams ended its two-year campaigns.
Resuming at 76-4 Monday, Pakan lost both overnight batters without adding to the total, as Kevin Sinclair (3-61) had Saud Shakeel caught in the slips off the third ball of the morning and Warrican clean bowled nightwatchman Kashif Ali in the next over.
The defeat has pulled down Pakan in the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) to the bottom of the table and West Indies moved to 8th. Pakan’s PCT % has gone down to 27.98 meanwhile West Indies’ has rose to 28.21.
