PAK - 143/2 (26.5)

Haris Rauf | POTM & POTS (Pakistan)

First of all, thanks to almighty Allah, it means a lot, we've been struggling in the last couple of months, this series was very important to both Pakistan and the team. Thanks to all the fans who came here to support us, thanks to everyone supporting us around the world. We had a lot of practice in the nets, we spoke to each other as a bowling group, the communication was good and that's very important. Maxi is a superstar, a legend, just try to dismiss him and I was lucky to dismiss him thrice in the series.

Josh Inglis | Australia Captain

Pretty disappointing to be honest, I think after the first three quarters of the first game, we've been totally outplayed, the batters just didn't get the runs on the board in the last couple of games. Guys have their own way of batting, but it's important to put together runs, stay out there and take the innings deep, and get the results. It was nice to be captaining in front of my home fans here in Perth, but the result was a disappointment.

Mohammad Rizwan | Pakistan Captain

Special moment for me, the nation will be very happy today, we didn't perform as per expectations in the last couple of years. I'm the captain only for the toss and presentations - everyone gives me suggestions on the field, the batting group and the bowling group. All the credit to the bowlers, Australia in Australia isn't easy, the conditions suit their style of playing, but the bowlers were outstanding. Also credit to the two openers, they made the chases easy. They (fans) don't care a lot about the results, but the people back home are always behind us and I want to dedicate this victory to them.

That's All From Our Side!

Pakistan have defeated Australia for the first time in a bilateral ODI series after 22 years and celebrations have started in the Pakistan camp. Join us again for the T20I matches. Until then, goodbye and take care!
