Sun Nov 10 11:00:11 UTC 2024: ## Pakistan Clinches Historic ODI Series Win in Australia
**Perth, Australia** – Pakistan secured a resounding victory over Australia in the third and final ODI, claiming the series 2-1 and marking their first ODI series win in Australia in 22 years.
The visitors chased down a modest target of 141 runs in just 27 overs, with captain Mohammad Rizwan leading the charge with a crucial 30 runs off 27 balls.
Rizwan, however, made a surprising revelation post-match, stating he is only responsible for the toss and presentations, with team decisions made collectively. “Everyone gives me suggestions on the field, the batting group and the bowling group,” he said.
The credit for the victory, Rizwan emphasized, goes to the bowlers, who bowled Australia out for just 140 runs. Shaheen Shah Afridi and Naseem Shah each claimed three wickets, while Haris Rauf, named Player of the Series, took two crucial wickets.
Rauf was instrumental in the series win, taking a total of nine wickets, including a five-wicket haul in the second ODI. He credited the bowling unit’s strong communication and intense practice sessions for their success.
The series victory comes as a significant morale boost for Pakistan, who struggled in recent months. The team will now face Australia in a three-match T20I series starting on Thursday, November 14.
