Pakistan wins first ever Pink-Ball Test Match

It was a great day at Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Monday, 17 October, when Pakistan won the first ever day-night test match played with a pink ball.

The match was played between Pakistan and the West Indies as part of the three test match series, which Pakistan won by 56 runs. Another laurel of the day was that Pakistan was playing its 400th test match and won it.

Pakistan's Yasir Shah also became the second bowler to earn 100 wickets in 17 test matches. Previously for Pakistan, Saeed Ajmal had completed 100 wickets in 19 test matches.

Although Pakistan scored a mighty 579 in the first innings, it crumbled for mere 123 in the second, much owed to Bishoo's eight wickets. And West Indians seemed to be winning the test match and were mere 56 runs away from victory when their last wicket fell.

It was a remarkable day for Pakistan to beat England in the heart of Lord's cricket ground by 75 runs. The victory came after a spell of 20 long years.

While performing brilliantly himself, Misbah scored a century at the age of 43 years in the first innings to go down in the history books being the oldest to score a ton. Not only him, another emerging bowler Yasir Shah took five wickets in the first innings and also broke a 20 years old record. Yasir was declared man of the match for bagging 10 wickets in both innings.

At the end of the match, the Pakistan team not only dedicated the victory to Abdul Sattar Edhi, the Pakistani philanthropist who died earlier this month, but also thanked Pakistan Army for arranging a rigorous pre-departure camp to keep the boys in super fit shape.
