Pakistan wins day-night thriller

DESPITE a fighting hundred by Darren Bravo, Pakistan pulled off a tension-packed 56-run victory against West Indies in the first day-night test match in Dubai on Monday.

Bravo kept Pakistan’s victory bid on hold during his resistance-filled 410-minute long 116 and it needed leg-spinner Yasir Shah to make a stunning catch to end his innings.

West Indies were finally bowled for 289 with just 12 over left in the match.

Bravo lingered on his haunches at the crease for a minute before trudging back to the pavilion, disappointed at his dismissal after bringing so close a draw or an upset win. Bravo’s eighth test hundred spiced with ten boundaries and a six had brought West Indies within 83 runs of victory.
