Spinner Yasir Shaw turned in a gigantic performance to help Pakistan squeeze out a 101 run win over the West Indies in the third and deciding test yesterday in Dominica to take the three match series 2-1.

Shaw who took 25 wickets in total across the three games was also named man of the series.

He grabbed 5 for 92 including the last wicket of the contest ….that of Shannon Gabriel for 4, as the West Indies who began the final day on 7 for 1 in their second innings and chasing a daunting 297 runs for victory fell for 202 all out.

Man of the match Roston Chase who kept a faltering innings together led the way for the Windies as he scored his second test century in this series ….an unbeaten 101 runs and shared in a 7th wicket partnership worth 58 runs with captain Jason Holder who made 22.

With seven deliveries left , the regional men failed to save the game as Shannon Gabriel on strike for the last ball of the penultimate over made a mighty swing across the line and then….

Windies captain Jason Holder tried his best to put the loss in perspective.

It was a fine farewell for Younis Khan and captain Misbah ul-Haq who helped engineer Pakistan’s first win in a test series over the West Indies in the Caribbean since 1958.

Final scores in the game Pakistan 376 and 174, and the West Indies 247 and 202.
