Pat Cummins and co triumph the match by 115 runs to conclude the series. The visitors won the three-match red-ball series by 1-0.
Pakistan should have learned what it takes to beat Australia – Ramiz Raja
Raja feels PCT should not be taken for granted since they fought back. However, the loss has left men in green under fire and backlashes. He wrote on his Twitter that,
What a great series ! Pakistan would have learned what it takes to beat the No 1 team in the world. No body though should question Pak’s capacity to fight. Opinions regarding team to have been bold while chasing over 500 at Khi & 350 plus on a turner on day 5 at Lhr are absurd!
