MULTAN: Pakistan suffered a 120-run defeat in the second Test against the West Indies here on Monday, consequently falling to the bottom of the World Test Championship (WTC) 2023-25 standings.
West Indies left-arm spinner Jomel Warrican claimed a five-wicket haul to bundle the hosts for 133 in the second innings to help his team level the two-match series 1-1.
This was West Indies’ first Test win in Pakistan since their seven-wicket triumph under the captaincy of Desmond Haynes in Faisalabad back in 1990.
With this loss, Pakistan finished the current WTC cycle at the bottom, with only five wins in 14 matches.

Their only notable overseas performance was a 2-0 victory against Sri Lanka in July 2023. Following that Pakistan managed to win only three Test matches, all on their home soil.
It’s worth noting that in the previous cycle, Pakistan ended in eighth position, which highlights their recent struggles in red-ball cricket.
Meanwhile, the West Indies also finished poorly ranking just ahead of the Pakistan team in 8th place with a PCT of 28.21.
Their record for this cycle includes three wins, two draws, and eight losses in 13 matches.
The two finalists of the WTC, South Africa and Australia are sitting at the top of the table with a PCT of 69.44 and 63.73 respectively.
Australia position will remain same on points table even if they whitewash Sri Lanka in the upcoming two-match Test series.
