Pacers Shine In Perth As Pakistan Win First ODI Series In Australia Since 2002
Shaheen Shah Afridi: Pakistan completed a memorable 2-1 ODI series win against reigning world champions Australia with a thumping eight-wicket win in the third and final match with more than 23 overs to spare at Perth Stadium on Sunday.
This ODI series win is Pakistan's first series victory on Australian soil since 2002 when they similarly came from behind to claim a 2-1 triumph in the mid-winter tour. Moreover, the victory marked a winning start for Mohammad Rizwan in his first series as captain.
Pakistan's pace attack continued to torment Australia throughout the ODI series and the same was the case in the series decider. Pakistan won the toss and opted to ball first with pacers backing their captain's decision as Australia lost half of their side with just 79 on the board. Eventually, they finished with only 140 with more than 18 overs left in the innings.
