Pakistan’s 8-wicket victory over Australia in the final ODI at Perth Stadium was a testament to their growth and determination, marking their first series win on Australian soil in over two decades.
Opting to bowl first, Pakistan’s bowling attack dismantled Australia’s lineup, limiting them to a modest 140 in just 31.5 overs.
Shaheen Afridi and Naseem Shah were standout performers, claiming three wickets each, with Haris Rauf and Mohammad Hasnain adding further pressure with two wickets apiece.
Australia’s batting struggled against Pakistan’s fierce attack, with Sean Abbott’s 30 being the only notable score. In response, Pakistan’s top order displayed composure and skill, led by Saim Ayub’s well-paced 42 and Abdullah Shafique’s solid 37.
Captain Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan finished the chase with ease, reaching the target with 3.5 overs to spare.
This series win signifies a crucial milestone for Pakistan, showcasing their resilience and adaptability on foreign pitches.
The commanding victories at Adelaide and Perth have rejuvenated Pakistan’s standing in ODI cricket, and this historic achievement promises a bright future for the squad as they continue to refine their game on the world stage.
