Pakistan hit an embarrassing low on Monday as they finished at the bottom of the World Test Championship points table after West Indies beat them by 120 runs in the second and final Test match of the series in Multan. It was West Indies’ first win in Pakistan in 34 years as they ended the contest on a 1-1 draw. Pakistan won the first Test by 127 runs, also in Multan

With just five wins in 14 matches during the 2023/25 cycle, which also saw them lose nine Tests, Pakistan finished last in the WTC points table with a PCT of just 27.89. This was their worst show in a WTC cycle. In the inaugural edition of the Championship, they recorded three wins in six matches to finish sixth with a PCT of 43.3. In the following cycle (2021/23), they finished seventh after managing just four wins in 14 games, thus recording a PCT of 38.1
