India vs Pakistan

Just weeks after their Test debut in Delhi, Pakistan beat India by an innings and 43 runs at Lucknow on 26 October 1952 to record their first Test victory. Fazal Mahmood took 12 for 94 in the match — 5 for 52 and 7 for 42 — on a matting wicket that he treated as a private playground. Captain A. H.
