Twitterati Reacts as Pakistan beats West Indies in a Thriller
Follow Us
Despite Darren Bravo’s brilliant hundred, Pakistan pulled off a thrilling 56-run victory against West Indies in the the first Day and Night test of the series. Bravo played a 410-minute long 116, which defied the home team for some time and it ultimately needed a stunning catch from Yasir Shah to end his innings. West Indies were eventually bowled out for 289.
This was the second day-night Test played with a pink ball after Australia and New Zealand played against each other in November Last Year. Pakistan made their 400th Test memorable by winning this match.
Twitterati praised West Indies for their fightback, which made the match thrilling. Here we bring you the best of Twitter reactions from the roller coaster of a match.

This is set up to be some pulsating final session. Pakistan need 4 wkts and West indies need 114 runs. D M Bravo is playing a gem.
