In a historic win, Pakistan clinched its first One-Day International (ODI) series in Australia since 2002, dominating the third and final match to secure a memorable victory.
Led by captain Muhammad Rizwan, Pakistan’s team took advantage of an Australian side missing some of its star players, as the hosts opted to rest key members like Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, Marnus Labuschagne, and Steve Smith in preparation for an upcoming Test series against India.
Opting to field first after winning the toss, Rizwan’s tactical decision paid off as Pakistan capitalized on Australia’s depleted lineup. This series-deciding match followed an emphatic nine-wicket victory in Adelaide on Friday, where Pakistan showcased its strength and momentum after narrowly missing a win in the series opener on November 4.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) maintained an unchanged lineup for this final match, showing confidence in the team that delivered a significant victory in the second ODI. The last win marked Pakistan’s first ODI success in Australia since 2017, building excitement among fans and adding a historic milestone with today’s series win.
