New Delhi: Thanks to a spin masterclass, Pakistan sealed a remarkable Test series win by defeating England by nine wickets on Saturday. Noman Ali And Sajid Khan. The spin duo demolished England’s batting lineup, taking all 10 wickets and bowling out the guests for just 112 runs. Pakistan then won in Rawalpindi and finished the third Test before lunch on the third day.
Captain Shan Masood provided the finishing touches in style, hitting five fours in six balls and launching Shoaib Bashir to seal a stunning win. This is Pakistan’s first home Test series win after defeating South Africa in February 2021.
