Adelaide: For the first time in 22 years, Pakistan have defeated Australia in a one-day international series on Australian soil.

Not only did Pakistan win in Perth, but they under Muhammed Rizwan’s captainship thumped an fairly inexperienced Australian outfit who decided not to play some of their best players to let them prepare for the opening Test of the summer against India.

Babar Azam, who hit the winning runs, rose his hands in the air, giving batting partner Mohammad Rizwan a celebratory hug on a memorable day for Pakistan cricket.

A win by eight wickets and with 23.1 overs to spare, it is an absolute carve-up job from a team who came to Australia with a clear plan and executed beautifully after going down 1-0 in the series. It finishes at 2-1 the way of the visitors.

The Green Shirts bowling line up led by Haris Rauf, Shaheen Shah Afridi ably assisted by Mohammed Hasnain and Naseem Shah didn’t let even a single Australian player to score a half century in the series.
