The spinners who wrote the story of this amazing victory of Pakistan were the ones who took all 20 wickets of England. Pakistan's 38-year-old spinner Nauman Ali created history by doing wonders. Also, the jugalbandi he saw with fellow spinner Sajid Khan was seen happening for the first time in Pakistan cricket after 1994.

Amazing feat of Nauman Ali, created history.

Now let's know what an amazing feat 38-year-old Nauman Ali did and how he created history. Nauman Ali took 8 wickets for 46 runs against England chasing a target of 297 runs. This is the best performance by any Pakistani spinner in the fourth innings with the ball in a Test match. With this, Nauman Ali also became the oldest Pakistani player to take 10 or more wickets in a Test match. Nauman Ali took 11 wickets in the second Test played in Multan.

Nauman Ali also got great support from Sajid Khan from the other end, who took 2 wickets for 93 runs in the second innings. Sajid Khan had taken 7 wickets for 111 runs in the first innings. In this way, he also took a total of 9 wickets in the second test played in Multan.


Pakistan captain Shan Masood did not make any changes in his bowling in the second innings. He kept Nauman from one end and Sajid from the other. This happened after 30 years in Test cricket when the same pair of Pakistani bowlers bowled the entire innings. The last time this happened was in 1994 against Sri Lanka in Kandy, where Akram and Waqar bowled in the same innings.
