Pakistan won the first test against West Indies by 127 runs which wasnt surprising as Pakistan on these kind of pitches are invincible at home. Sajid Khan and Noman Ali are deadly exponents and experts of spin in these conditions at home. Sajid Khan in particular is almost unplayable on these pitches which turn square right from day one of the test and especially the soil and turf of Multan suits these kind of pitches.
On the otherhand Pakistan's batting was poor throughout the test match with only the partnership of 141 runs between Saud Shakeel and Muhammad Rizwan impressing me. If that partnership was broken a lot earlier Pakistan might have found themselves in trouble in this test match.
In the end what i would like to say is that Pakistan shouldnt take West Indies lightly and become complacent. If they dont become complacent they should be able to whitewash West Indies 2-0 in this test series played at home.
