On January 3, Australia and Pakistan AUS vs PAK will square off in the third Test of Pakistan’s tour of Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Pakistan would be hoping to at least salvage some pride and a consolation win, while Australia, who leads the three-match test series 2-0, would be hoping to sweep the series.
Pakistan won the toss and chose to field first in their most recent match, which took place at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. With a 90-run opening stand, Australia got off to a fantastic start. Australia scored 318 runs with the excellent performance of their whole top order. Pakistan too had made an outstanding start, with two half-centuries from the top order. The lower order helped them reach 264 runs, but the middle order was largely ineffective.
Australia had a strange start to the third innings as they lost wickets one after another and were down to 16 for four when Mir Hamza got wickets on consecutive deliveries. Their strong middle order, however, subdued the storm and helped them score 262 runs in total. Pakistan had set a very lofty aim of 317, which appeared somewhat challenging. Even though they had a few strong middle-order partnerships—including fifty-run partnerships between Shan Masood and Agha Salman—they were still unable to prevent Pakistan from winning by 79 runs.
