Read Original Content: PAK vs WI: Jayden Seales Makes Flat Multan Track Unplayable, Destroys Pakistan’s Top Order

In the ongoing first Test between Pakistan and West Indies at the Multan Cricket Stadium, Jayden Seales has been the standout performer with the ball, destroying Pakistan’s top order.

Despite Multan being known for its flat pitch, Seales has proven that it is still possible to take wickets on this surface. His outstanding spell has left Pakistan reeling at 86/4 after 28 overs in their first innings.

Seales, who has been in superb form, picked up three crucial wickets. His first breakthrough came when he dismissed debutant Muhammad Hurraira for just 6 runs. Hurraira, who was looking to settle in, edged a delivery from Seales to the wicketkeeper, Tevin Imlach. This set the tone for Seales’ brilliant spell.

Following Hurraira’s dismissal, Babar Azam, the former Pakistan captain, came to the crease with the hope of stabilizing the innings. However, Seales had other plans. He sent Babar Azam back for just 8 runs, again with a delivery that was caught by Imlach.

Before that, Kamran Ghulam also fell to Seales, the pacer trapping him leg before wicket for 5 runs. Pakistan’s top-order was quickly falling apart, and the pressure was mounting.

By the time Pakistan’s captain, Shan Masood, was dismissed for 11 runs, the writing seemed on the wall. Seales had rattled the top order, leaving Pakistan at a precarious 46/4. Although Saud Shakeel (33*) and Mohammad Rizwan (18*) are still at the crease, the West Indies bowlers, led by Seales, have seized the advantage.

The West Indies bowlers, particularly Seales, have shown how effective pace bowling can be, even on a flat pitch like the one in Multan.
