NEW DELHI: Spinners Noman Ali and Sajid Khan mixed brilliantly to dismantle England, powering Pakistan to a dominant nine-wicket victory within the decisive third Check and clinching a memorable 2-1 collection win on Saturday.
Pakistan took management early, gaining an important 77-run first-innings lead on a pitch that proved best for spinners from each groups.
Noman (6-42) and Sajid (4-69) bowled England out for a mere 112 of their second innings, leaving Pakistan simply 36 runs to chase for the collection win.
Though Saim Ayub fell early, Pakistan comfortably accomplished the victory throughout an prolonged morning session on day three.
Noman and Sajid accounted for 19 of England’s 20 wickets, with Pakistan’s lone seamer, Aamer Jamal, unused—a transparent testomony to the spin-friendly circumstances. Since being drafted mid-series, the duo took 39 of England’s 40 wickets within the final two Assessments.
In a video going viral on social media, Sajid commented on England’s struggles in opposition to spin, saying that the Three Lions get nervous on turning tracks.
“Goro ko aap thoda sa bhi flip de do na, woh ghabra jaate hain. Kyunki wo jis circumstances mein khelte hain udhar hum ghabra jaate hain, idhar ye ghabra jaate hain (If you happen to give England gamers even a barely spinning observe, they get nervous, as a result of the circumstances they normally dominate make us nervous, however right here it is they who get nervous),” Sajid remarked.
