Pakistan Clinches Historic ODI Series Win in Australia

Pakistan achieved a historic 2-1 victory over Australia in the ODI series, marking their first series win in Australia since 2002. The series concluded with Pakistan's dominant eight-wicket win in Perth, driven by outstanding performances from fast bowlers Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah, and Haris Rauf, who collectively dismantled Australia's weakened batting lineup for just 140 runs. Pakistan's top order, led by Saim Ayub and Abdullah Shafique, laid a solid foundation for the chase, which was completed comfortably by Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam. The hosts rested key players in preparation for their upcoming Test series against India, exposing the inexperience in their lineup. Cooper Connolly's injury further compounded Australia's woes during a match where no player scored a half-century, highlighting the challenges faced by the reigning World Cup champions. Pakistan's victory reflects a significant morale boost for the team, which has faced struggles in recent months.
