The cricket fraternity and politicians congratulated the Pakistan men’s side for its victory over Australia on Sunday. Pakistan thrashed Australia in an eight-wicket victory, bringing up their first men’s one-day international (ODI) series win in Australia after 22 years.

After bowling out the woeful world champions for a miserly 140 at Perth Stadium, Mohammad Rizwan’s team reached their target with ease in the 27th over.The impressive performance, aided by high-quality bowling from Naseem Shah, Shaheen Shah Afridi, and Haris Rauf, ensured a first ODI series win in Australia since 2002.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) called it a “memorable” series win.

“By defeating a strong team like Australia at their home ground, the players made the nation proud,” PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi said.

Several politicians took to social media platform X to congratulate the team on its win.

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif called the victory “the result of unity and teamwork of our brilliant players; as well as efforts of coaching staff and the PCB under the able leadership of Chairman Mohsin Naqvi.”

Senator Sherry Rehman emphasised that fast bowlers played a “pivotal role in the team’s success with their outstanding performance.

“The players’ spirit and teamwork have made the nation proud. I hope the team will continue this winning streak in the future as well. Best wishes to them.”
