Leg-spinner Yasir Shah scalped six wickets as Pakistan registered a crushing 133-run win over West Indies in the second Test to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series here at Sheikh Zayed Stadium on Tuesday.
Chasing a daunting target of 456 runs, West Indies were bundled out for 322 despite some brilliant efforts by opener Kraigg Brathwaite (67) and middle-order batsman Jermaine Blackwood (95). The visitors resumed the fifth and final day's play on 171-4.
Shai Hope was another notable contributor for the Caribbean side as he scored a fighting 41 before being dismissed by left-arm spinner Zulfiqar Babar.
Yasir, who was declared 'Man of the Match', led from the font as he picked six wickets for 124 in the second innings to finish with 10-wicket overall, his second ten-wicket haul in Test cricket.
Babar claimed two wickets while Rahat Ali and Mohammad Nawaz also chipped in with a wicket each.
Earlier, Misbah-ul-Haq's side declared their second innings at 227-2, with Sami Aslam(50) and Azhar Ali (79) sharing a huge 93-run stand for opening wicket. Asad Shafiq also scored an unbeaten 58-run knock.
Pakistan won the opening Test by 56 runs in Dubai, thus leaving the inconsequential third and final Test in Sharjah starting from Sunday.
