Pakistan just pulled off a cracking series win in Australia, and fans are absolutely buzzing. After a loss in the first game, the Men in Green came roaring back, sealing the series 2-1 with a huge eight-wicket win in Perth.
This is Pakistan’s first ODI series win in Australia since 2002, and social media’s blowing up with fans celebrating every bit of it. After some recent tough losses, they’re calling this win a major comeback and hyping the team’s future.
Fans couldn’t be prouder, praising the bowlers and supporting the team. Several reactions poured in on Twitter as fans hailed the team and lauded this win.
Here’s a look at a few reactions:
Bowlers Tear Through Australia
The bowlers set the tone right from the get-go after Rizwan decided to bowl. Shaheen Afridi went all out with 3/32, while Naseem Shah wasn’t far behind, snagging 3/54. Haris Rauf stayed on fire, adding 2/24 to crush the Aussie batting lineup. Australia never got a chance to build, getting rolled over for just 140 runs.
The pace attack was relentless. Shaheen and Naseem threw everything they had, keeping the Aussies guessing. And as the wickets fell, it felt like Australia’s batters had no clue how to fight back.
Openers Bring It Home
Pakistan’s openers, Saim Ayub and Abdullah Shafique, came out swinging, putting up a solid 84-run stand. Lance Morris grabbed a couple of quick wickets but skipper Mohammad Rizwan and former captain Babar Azam stepped in, cool as ever, to finish the chase.
Rizwan hit a few big ones, while Babar wrapped it up with a perfect boundary off Adam Zampa. With Pakistan fans hyped and celebrating online, this victory has sparked a new wave of excitement.
