Pakistan cricket team player Noman Ali scripted history after bagging a hat-trick during the second Test match against the West Indies in Multan. Although Pakistan lost the match, Noman’s feat on Day 1 cemented his position in an elite list. In the first hour of the match, Noman took the wickets of Justin Greaves (1), Tevin Imlach (0) and Kevin Sinclair (0) to become the sixth player to take a Test hat-trick in the first session of play in the opening day of the match. He was only the second spinner in history to achieve the feat after Australian Billy Bates (1883). The Pakistan spinner is also the second-oldest player (38 years, 139 days) to score a Test hat-trick, after Sri Lanka’s Rangana Herath (38 years, 110 days).

Coming into the match, spinner Jomel Warrican took five wickets as the West Indies won a Test match in Pakistan on Monday for the first time in almost 35 years.

The West Indies won the second Test at Multan by 120 runs on the third day to tie the series 1-1.

Pakistan triumphed in the first Test by 127 runs, also in Multan.

Warrican finished with nine wickets in the match (19 in the series) to give the hosts a taste of their own medicine on sharply turning pitches.

The last time the West Indies won a Test in Pakistan was in Faisalabad in November 1990, after going winless on their 1997 and 2006 tours.

“We haven’t played in Pakistan for a number of years, but it’s been a while since we won here, so to come here and do it with a young group is incredible,” said West Indies captain Kraigg Brathwaite.
