Pakistan conquered the West Indian test on the fifth day to win Asia's first day-night Test in Dubai and take a 1-0 lead in the three Test arrangement. Beginning the most recent day on 95 for 2, West Indies got off to the most exceedingly bad conceivable begin, losing overnight batsman Marlon Samuels off the primary bundle of the day. The guests however figured out how to remain in the chase on account of the star of the day for West Indies - Darren Bravo. The southpaw scored his eight Test hundred, his seventh far from home, to convey the West Indian any expectations of an improbable win till the last session. Nonetheless, the tail crumpled after his expulsion to give Pakistan the greatly expected triumph.
Measurable highlights from most recent two days of the principal Test amongst Pakistan and West Indies:
438 runs aggregated by Pakistan openers in this match is the second most for the country's opening pair in a Test. The only higher aggregate is 465 runs in Bridgetown in 1958 when Hanif Mohammad scored 17 and 337 and his partner Imtiaz Ahmed scored 20 and 91.
300 - Difference in runs scored by Azhar Ali in his first and second innings. The only higher difference is 320 by Hanif Mohammad (17 & 337) and 307 by Bob Simpson (311 & 4*).
