West Indies got their first Test win in Pakistan for 34 years as they dismissed the hosts for 133 runs on the third day of the second Test.

Jomel Warrican picked up five wickets as West Indies dismissed the hosts for 133 in the second innings in Multan to collect their first Test win in Pakistan in 34 years.

Chasing a target of 254 and resuming play on 76-4, Pakistan were bundled out an hour into day three as the Windies sealed a 120-run win to ensure the two-match series ended 1-1.

Saud Shakeel (13) was the first batter dismissed on Monday before Warrican bowled nightwatcher Kashif Ali (one) in the very next over.

Muhammad Rizwan (25) and Salman Ali Agha (15) attempted to put up a fight but also fell to Warrican.

Gudakesh Motie (2-35) then took Noman Ali to put West Indies on the brink before Warrican wrapped up the victory with his fifth of the innings - Sajid Khan (seven).

Pakistan had won the first Test match at the same venue by 127 runs - also in three days.

Data Debrief: Windies pick up rare win

West Indies had not won a Test match on Pakistan soil for 34 years, since a victory in Faisalabad in November 1990.

However, they have only played two series in the country since - in 1997 and 2006 - before their latest tour.

The man who guided them to the victory was left-arm spinner Warrican, who finished the match with figures of 9-70 and the series as its top wicket-taker with 19.

Warrican also performed well with his bat during the series as he was his side's top scorer in the first innings of the first Test with an unbeaten 31 and was also unbeaten on 36 as the Windies were bowled out for 163 in the first innings of the second.
