20 Wickets Fall in a Single Day in Multan Test, Creating a New Record

A remarkable record was set during the ongoing second Test match between Pakistan and the West Indies in Multan, as 20 wickets fell on the first day of play, making it the first time in Pakistan’s cricket history that such a feat has occurred.

The Historic Day

The first day of the match saw both teams lose 10 wickets each, a rare and thrilling occurrence in Test cricket. Pakistan and the West Indies' batting line-ups were unable to withstand the opposition’s bowling attack, resulting in a dramatic day of play where 20 wickets fell in total.

Past Comparisons

This marks a significant milestone in Test cricket history in Pakistan. Previously, the second day of the first Test between Pakistan and the West Indies had seen 19 wickets fall. In another memorable instance from 2004, the second day of the Test between Pakistan and Bangladesh in Multan had seen 18 wickets lost.

Team Performances

Despite the thrilling nature of the day, the performances of both teams have been subpar. Pakistan was dismissed for just 154 runs in its first innings, while the West Indies made 163 in their own first innings. Both teams will look to bounce back as they head into the subsequent days of the Test.
