"Keep Babar Azam only for Zimbabwe"- Twitter reacts to Pakistan's historic series win vs England
Pakistan finally have a reason to smile as they defeat England in the three-match Test series. The series win has come without their talismanic batter Babar Azam, who was dropped after the first Test.
In the final Test match played at Rawalpindi, the Men in Green registered a thumping nine-wicket win over England to seal the series 2-1. It was a much needed victory for Pakistan as they had endured a tough time from the last few months.
After a 0-2 defeat at home to Bangladesh and the first Test defeat to England, there were lots of questions on the team and its ability to win Tests. But they have finally found a way to win at home and have decimated England on surfaces aiding spin bowling.
It was also their first Test series win at home after three years. The social media was flooded with congratulatory tweets for them after this emphatic win. The users also claimed that the Bazball has failed in spin-friendly conditions.

Fantastic series win for Pakistan .. As soon as the pitches started to spin they dominated England .. It happened in India last year and now Pakistan .. Englands high risk strategy doesn’t work against the spinning ball .. #PAKvsENG

Make no mistake, BazBall was already destroyed and buried by JaisBall way back in January 2024. #PAKvsENG pic.twitter.com/z8ZlbeyCXL

Sajid Khan and Noman Ali shine for Pakistan
The credit of this magnificent win goes to the two spinners Sajid Khan and Noman Ali. The duo wreaked havoc in the last two Tests and did not allow the England batters to play their natural game.
Sajid and Noman picked up 39 out of 40 England wickets in the last two Tests. Both of them were not a part of the squad for the first Test match.
England won the first Test at Multan by an innings margin. But the home team fought back by winning the second Test match by 152 runs. In the deciding third Test at Rawalpindi, the Men in Green won the match and clinched the series 2-1
