Pakistan script dramatic comeback in 22-year first in Australia; Mohammad Rizwan gets off to winning start to captaincy

Hindustan Times  

Pakistan’s strong end to the year after a dreadful start continues, as the ODI team beat Australia by 8 wickets in the third ODI in Perth to seal a 2-1 series win in Mohammad Rizwan’s first assignment as captain, and their first series win since 2002 on Australian territory. Pakistan have looked in good touch in all three matches of the series, succumbing to a narrow less in the first match at the MCG as Pat Cummins guided his team home with the bat. First win in 22 years This was Pakistan’s first series win in 22 years in Australia, having been beaten comprehensively 5-0 in 2009 and 4-1 in 2016 on their previous two series in the country. A Test series win over England, followed by this victory in Australia, will give the team plenty of confidence heading into the home ICC Champions Trophy early in 2025.
