Here is the updated WTC points table after the second Test match between West Indies and Pakistan

The Pakistan side produced a scintillating all-round performance in the second Test match of the two-match Test series against West Indies, beat the hosts by a margin of 109 runs at Jamaica, to level the two-match Test series 1-1.

The Pakistan side was clinical with both bat and ball, as the West Indies ran out of answers to the questions asked by the Pakistan side. With the willow, Fawad Alam was the catalyst for Pakistan. The left-hander scored a classic 124 off 213 deliveries in the first innings.

And with the ball, it was left-arm seamer Shaheen Afridi who absolutely bamboozled the West Indian outfit with the red cherry in hand. Afridi picked up a total of 10 wickets in the match, to power his side to a crushing win.
