In the third ODI of Pakistan’s tour of Australia, Pakistan’s bowlers put on an incredible performance, helping them get the upper hand in the series. Australia, who batted first, were bowled out for just 140 runs in only 31.5 overs. This means Pakistan now only need 141 runs to win the match and clinch the series victory, making it a very achievable target.
The Pakistani bowlers were in superb form, with Shaheen Shah Afridi leading the charge. He took three key wickets, including two wickets in the final moments of Australia’s innings to wrap up their batting. Afridi bowled a brilliant delivery to dismiss Lance Morris, a ball that moved away sharply and hit the off-stump, a delivery that would have troubled even the best batsmen. Earlier, he had Sean Abbott caught at mid-on by Haris Rauf, after Abbott had made 30 runs from 41 balls.
Naseem Shah also played a vital role in putting pressure on Australia’s batting lineup. He took three wickets and kept the Australians on the back foot throughout his spell. Australia struggled to build any meaningful partnerships, and that allowed the Pakistani bowlers to dominate the game. With no solid resistance from the Australian batters, the Pakistani bowlers were able to keep Australia’s score well below 150.
Now, Pakistan has a great chance to finish the job. They only need 141 runs to win the match and take the series. This strong bowling performance has put them in a commanding position, and they will be confident about chasing down this relatively small target to secure the victory.
With the series on the line, Pakistan’s bowlers have shown excellent skill and determination, and it will be interesting to see how the batting lineup responds in the chase. If they can continue this momentum, they could walk away with a memorable series win in Perth.
