“Pakistan Secures Historic ODI Series Win Over Australia Amid Batting Collapse”

Pakistan secured a commanding victory in the ODI series against Australia, marking their first series win on Australian soil in 22 years. The match saw Australia struggle significantly with their batting, finishing with a mere 140 runs in 31.5 overs. Cooper Connolly faced a potential fractured hand after retiring hurt while batting, contributing only seven runs to the team's total. The absence of key players such as Steve Smith, Marnus Labuschagne, Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, and Josh Hazlewood was felt deeply as the Australian side crumbled under pressure. In response, Pakistan chased down the target with ease, reaching 143 runs for the loss of just two wickets and sealing the match with 139 balls to spare. This eight-wicket victory not only clinched the series 2-1 for Pakistan but also highlighted the ongoing struggles of the Australian batting lineup.
