With this victory, Pakistan also maintained the record of winning its third consecutive ODI series against Australia.

The Australian team, which came to bat first after winning the toss in the match, appeared to be under pressure from the very beginning. Pakistan captain Shaheen Afridi bowled brilliantly with the new ball and gave the first blow on the very second ball of the innings. After the initial wicket fall, Australia’s batting never seemed to be in full swing and wickets kept falling at regular intervals.

On behalf of Australia, captain Josh Inglis batted with struggle and tried to control the team. Playing with responsibility, he scored a half-century and played an important inning of 65 runs. His innings included attractive fours and a six. However, he did not get the expected support from the other end. Marnus Labuschagne and Alex Carey spent some time at the crease, but no batsman was successful in playing a big innings.

After the dismissal of English, the Australian innings completely disintegrated. At one time the team’s score was three wickets for 119 runs, but after that the batting order collapsed rapidly. The team lost its last seven wickets by adding only 38 runs and the entire team was reduced to 157 runs. Pakistan bowlers maintained constant pressure with precise line and length, to which the Australian batsmen had no answer.

Chasing the target of 158 runs, Pakistan had a balanced start. Although the team suffered initial setbacks, the batsmen showed patience instead of panic. Babar Azam once again displayed his experience and technique brilliantly and handled the team’s innings in difficult conditions. He faced 84 balls and scored 40 runs and provided stability to the run chase.

It was not easy to score runs on a slow and challenging pitch, but Babar played an important role in getting closer to the target by batting intelligently. After his dismissal, the match became exciting for some time, but Shadab Khan took the responsibility and scored useful 29 runs and took the team to the victory destination.

Captain Shaheen Afridi set a great example of leadership in bowling. He weakened Australia’s batting by taking important wickets and turned the match in favor of Pakistan. Both his captaincy and performance contributed decisively to the team’s victory.

With this victory, Pakistan not only won the series but also proved that its team has the ability to challenge any big cricket power in home conditions.
