Australia defeated Pakistan by 8 wickets in the third and final Test match played at Sydney Cricket Ground. In this match, all the players from Australia performed very well and played an important role in the victory of their team.

Let us tell you, Australia needed 130 runs to win this match and Sajid Khan and Hasan Ali started the bowling for Pakistan. Pakistan team captain Shan Masood did not bowl at all to Aamer Jamal, who bowled brilliantly in this series, in the first session. Many people have strongly criticized the captaincy of Shan Masood regarding this thing. Not only this, team director Mohammad Hafeez was also quite surprised by this decision of Shan Masood.

According to Mohammad Hafeez, it was the captain’s decision but he should have given bowling to Jamal a little earlier. However, he praised the captaincy of Shan Masood.

According to ESPNcricinfo, Mohammad Hafeez said, ‘It was the captain’s decision. All the bowlers were available but it was the captain’s decision. We wanted to bowl as much as possible from the off-spinner because there was a lot of turn on this pitch. I think Jamal should have been given the bowling first because he has bowled very well in this entire series.

As a team, we could have won this series but we missed opportunities: Mohammad Hafeez

According to Mohammad Hafeez, Pakistan team may have lost the Test series but they have got to learn a lot from here. Mohammad Hafeez further said, ‘We have learned a very difficult lesson. As a team, we could have won this series but we missed opportunities.

We should not have lost 3-0. But it was our fault that we could not seize the opportunities. In Melbourne, when we had taken four wickets for 16 runs, we could have won the match but the Australian team performed very well.
