The Australian team suffered a 2-1 defeat in the three-match ODI series at home against Pakistan. The biggest reason for the loss of the Kangaroo team in this series was their very poor batting performance. The first match of this series was won by the Australian team by 2 wickets, then the Pakistani team won the second match and the last and decisive match played in Perth was again won by the Pakistani team by 8 wickets. Batting first in the third ODI of the series in Perth, the Kangaroos team were restricted to a score of 140, while the Pakistani team achieved this target in just 26.5 overs. With the Australian team losing the series, it achieved a feat never seen before in its ODI cricket history.
Not a single batsman could touch the 50-run mark in the entire series.
If we talk about this one-day series, the performance of the bowlers of the Pakistani team has been better than expected, which can be estimated from the fact that not a single Australian batsman has managed to touch the 50-run mark in the entire series. For Australia, the highest individual run scorer in this ODI series was Josh English, who scored 49 runs in the first match. If we look at the average of the Australian batsmen in this entire series, it was found to be 18.77. Along with this, this is the first ODI series in the history of Australian cricket when no batsman has managed to cross the 50-run mark.
Pakistani fast bowlers performed brilliantly
For the Pakistan team that came to Australia to play the ODI series under the captaincy of Mohammad Rizwan, their fast bowlers played the most important role in the victory, taking a total of 26 wickets in the entire series. In this series, Haris Rauf took 10 wickets for the Pakistani team, while Shaheen Afridi also managed to take 8 wickets.
