West Indies defeated Pakistan by five wickets in the third and final Test of the three-match series in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates.
Batsmen Kraigg Brathwaite (60 not out) and Shane Dowrich (60 not out) steered the visitors to their first victory of the tour, after getting whitewashed 3-0 by Pakistan in the previous T20I and ODI series.
"It was my best innings for West Indies in Test matches so far," said Brathwaite in the post-match presentation after receiving man of the match award. Pakistani spinner Yasir Shah received man of the series award.
