Pakistan’s fast bowlers achieved an unprecedented victory in a Test match against West Indies after 31 years.
According to the details, Pakistan’s fast bowlers took all 20 wickets in both the West Indies’ matches in this match, which was possible for Pakistan for the first time in Test cricket after almost three decades.
