It took all of 297.1 overs for Pakistan to beat West Indies by seven wickets - which, notwithstanding the rain intrusions, would have been over in a little more than three days of play. As much as this has been another undesirable turning point in West Indies' unhindered decrease in Test cricket, it was a clinical show by the visiting side.
The hurl may have had any kind of effect, conceivably even the changed way of the pitch because of rain, and a great part of the distinction between the two sides is standing out they fared in the second innings, however that is not to detract from the way that Pakistan never enabled the hosts to get a high ground in the challenge.

However, excepting that, West Indies were dependably on the get up to speed. Regardless of the possibility that they got two or three wickets one after another, Pakistan never lets them get on top - best shown by the way Misbah-ul-Haq played with the tail to help the guests extend the primary innings prompt 121, which had a huge effect with regards to the diversion.

There were no half measures and thus when the series were actualized, West Indies missed out in attempting to do an excessive number of things.
The unpredictable methods for the hosts proceeded as notwithstanding concise times of play, West Indies looked far underneath the norms of most Test sides. It is an adventure that has been talked about for a really long time, yet on numerous occasions, extremely frequently, it fits the story as correctly.
At the point when the two sides took the field on Tuesday morning, thirty minutes before the booked begin, both started on a positive note. Pakistan began with Mohammad Amir and Yasir Shah, who were working on the stump to stump channel or simply outside that. West Indies, as well, started decidedly, yet once the principal wicket fell - Vishaul Singh, who was tidied up by Amir - there was no stop on the parade.
Nightwatchman Devendra Bishoo played a fine hand of sticking around and scoring some critical runs. His commitment helped the hosts clear the deficiency and take a lead, however nothing generous. Their legends from the principal innings - Chase and Dowrich couldn't contribute much in the second exposition either. While Dowrich was caught leg-before off the second ball for a duck, Chase continued coming up short on accomplices. He stayed unbeaten, yet couldn't cultivate the strike and additionally, Misbah did in Pakistan's first innings and in the long run observed his side package out for 152. Yasir Shah, who had sacked four wickets on Day 4, added two more to come back with innings figures of 6 for 63.
With an objective of 32 to win, West Indies had given themselves next to no races to play with. Yet, wagered on Pakistan to make challenges more energizing than different teams can. Openers Ahmed Shehzad and Azhar Ali left with the scoreboard perusing seven rushes to the credit of the guests. With eight runs required, even Younis Khan got out, yet that was just for the fervor and the dramatization as Misbah-ul-Haq came and hit Devendra Bishoo out of the recreation center twice in three balls to finish the customs. West Indies didn't have more motivations to celebrate.
In an instructing design, much more than they did over the most recent couple of minutes of the diversion, Pakistan took a 1-0 lead in the three-match series.
