Pakistan's Yasir Shah once again showed the world, why he is the best leg-spinner in current Test cricket, after he blasted the West Indies batting line-up in their second innings picking six wickets for 90 runs, on Wednesday.

In doing so, Shah ruptured the West Indies resistance, and brought the Pakistan side to the cusp of victory.

This was Yasir Shah’s 10th five wicket haul and 4th fiver against the West Indies. Overall, Yasir has picked 37 wickets against the West Indies in five Test matches, becoming the second most successful Pakistani spinner against the Windies.

Only, the legendry leggie Abdul Qadir sits above Shah with 42 wickets in 10 matches.

With current form, it seems just a matter of time for the leggie from Swabi to overtake Qadir to become Pakistan most successful spinner against the West Indies.

Meanwhile, West Indies lead by 183 runs with 1 wicket remaining at the end of fourth day.
