There was an uproar regarding the pitch of PAK vs AUS match, Shaheen said – every team prepares the pitch according to its own.

Desk. Pakistan defeated Australia by 4 wickets in the third ODI. With this, the Pakistani team won the series 2-1. All the matches of this series were low scoring. Due to the slow pitch, the batsmen of both the teams were seen struggling to score runs. The condition of the batsmen has been such that in three matches not a single batsman from both the teams could score a century. In such a situation, after the end of the series, reporters asked Pakistan team captain Shaheen Afridi questions about the pitch. Let us tell you what he said while replying to this.

Shaheen Afridi said in the press conference that there are still 15 months left for the World Cup. To win the match, the team of every country prepares the pitch according to its choice and strength. Before the World Cup, our team will play Test series in West Indies and England. Many of our players will play in these matches, which will give them a good opportunity to prepare for the World Cup. When we went to Australia to play under the captaincy of Mohammad Rizwan, we got green grass and fast bouncy pitches, yet we won that series. Therefore, when the Australian team comes to play here, we cannot give them green pitches, because our aim is also to win the match on our home ground.

There was a lot of talk about the pitch in the three-match ODI series played between Pakistan and Australia. Pakistan team management deliberately prepared such pitches in Rawalpindi and Lahore which would help the spinners. Its purpose was to take advantage of the weakness of the visiting team, because the Australian team was already looking weak without its key players.

Pakistan won the series 2-1 in a low-scoring match played at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore on Thursday. However, now a debate has erupted in the country regarding this victory. People are raising questions whether the victory on such slow pitches will help Pakistan in preparing for next year’s ODI World Cup? This is because the 2027 ODI World Cup is to be held in South Africa and the pitches there are helpful for fast bowlers.
