In a dominant show, Pakistan defeated England inside four days of the 2nd Test held at the Multan Cricket Stadium.
Babar Azam has congratulated Pakistan for registering a crushing win over England to draw level in their ongoing three-match Test series. The spin duo of Sajid Khan and Noman Ali combined to take 20 wickets during the 2nd Test in Multan as Pakistan stormed to a 152-run win on the fourth day of the contest.
Babar, who was dropped after a flop show in the series opener, has shared a post on X (formerly Twitter) praising Shan Masood and co for an emphatic comeback.
“Well done, team! Fantastic win. Proud of the effort and spirit,” the former skipper wrote.
Pakistan batted first and Kamran Ghulam, Babar’s replacement at no.4, scored a century as the hosts were bowled out for 366 in 123.3 overs. England made a quick start but Sajid took a seven-wicket haul to limit them to 291-all out.
Pakistan then set England 374 to win with Agha Salman hitting a half-century. The tourists crumbled to spin again and folded for 144 with Noman taking eight wickets.
The third and final Test starts from October 24.
