PAK vs WI 1st Test: Pakistan's star batter Saud Shakeel's brilliant innings came to an end on the second day of the first Test match against West Indies in Multan, where he scored 84 runs off 157 balls. Kevin Sinclair dismissed him during the 57th over by bowling a brilliant ripper. He got out after the drinks break and gave West Indies the much-needed breakthrough.

Sinclair Outfoxes Saud Shakeel With Stellar Delivery

Sinclair bowled a delivery, which went around the wicket, was a good lengthy delivery and the ball touched the off stump and then it went away. Saud Shakeel played a defensive shot since the ball had touched the bat. The wicket-keeper took a stunning catch and then the visitors started celebrating the dismissal.

It was a brilliant delivery and Shakeel was left clueless. He was seen walking back to the pavilion and fell short of a well-deserved hundred.

Pakistan's Distarious Start On Day 1

The hosts were reeling at 46/4 on the first day, where star batters like Babar Azam, Muhammad Huraira, and Kamran Ghulam couldn't score in double digits. Skipper Shan Masood was also seen struggling as he could score just 11 runs but then get out.

This left the team reeling and that's when Shakeel and Mohammed Rizwab helped the team bounce back. They stitched a gritty partnership after the team suffered a batting collapse by the West Indies bowlers.

The match on the first day was delayed owing to dense fog in Multan. As soon as the conditions improved, with the first session being completely abandoned, the Men in Green were in deep trouble after the match started.
