During the Perth Test’s second day, Aamer exhibited an impressive performance, securing six wickets for 111 runs. His remarkable contribution played a pivotal role in dismissing Australia for 487 shortly after the lunch break.
Debutant Khurram Shahzad also displayed an impressive bowling performance, claiming two wickets. Shaheen Afridi and Faheem Ashraf each took one wicket, contributing to a well-rounded bowling effort by the Pakistani team.
David Warner led Australia’s batting charge with a remarkable 164-run innings, while Mitchell Marsh made a substantial contribution with a quick-fire 90 runs.
The ongoing Test series poses a significant challenge for Pakistan, aiming to secure victory in Australia, a feat not accomplished since late 1995. The Pakistani squad faces the reigning world Test champions in a demanding series Down Under.
