Pakistan’s Spin Magic Seals Victory Over England

In a remarkable Test match at the Multan Cricket Stadium, Pakistan’s spinners outclassed England on Day 4, sealing a thrilling 152-run victory. Chasing 297 on a tricky turning pitch, England crumbled under pressure and were bowled out for just 144 runs. Pakistan’s spin magic was in full display, leveling the three-match series at 1-1.

Noman Ali’s Career-Best Performance

The star of the show was left-arm spinner Noman Ali, whose incredible figures of 8/46 stunned the England batting lineup. His performance was complemented by fellow spinner Sajid Khan, who had already claimed seven wickets in the first innings. Together, they shared all 20 of England’s wickets, marking a rare occurrence in Test history where two bowlers took all wickets.

Records Tumble as Pakistan’s Spin Attack Shines

Noman’s career-best 8/46 is now the fourth-best figure by a Pakistan spinner in Tests and the best-ever performance at the Multan Cricket Stadium. This match marked only the seventh time in Test cricket history that two bowlers took all 20 wickets in a match, with the last occurrence being in 1972. Pakistan’s victory also ended their long wait for a home Test win, their first since February 2021.
