**Interview with Cricket Analyst, Sarah Khan**
**Editor**: Welcome, Sarah! It’s great to have you here to discuss Pakistan’s recent victory over Australia in Perth. What are your thoughts on this historic win, especially considering it’s been 22 years since Pakistan clinched a series in Australia?
**Sarah Khan**: Thank you for having me! This victory is monumental for Pakistan. Winning a series in Australia is no small feat, and it reflects the team’s hard work and resilience. They have always faced a tough challenge on Australian soil, and finally breaking the 22-year drought is a significant achievement.
**Editor**: Absolutely! Pakistan won the third one-day match by eight wickets, chasing a modest target of 141 runs. How did you assess their performance in this match?
**Sarah Khan**: Pakistan’s bowling performance was exceptional. Captain Muhammad Rizwan’s decision to bowl first really paid off, particularly given the pitch conditions in Perth which are known for pace. Naseem Shah’s early wickets set the tone for the match, and a disciplined bowling attack kept the pressure on Australia throughout.
**Editor**: Babar Azam’s performance has been a highlight in this series. Can you tell us about his role in the final match?
**Sarah Khan**: Babar has been crucial for the team, demonstrating his class and composure under pressure. In this match, he not only finished the game with a boundary but also led the scoring when the team needed it most. His ability to anchor the innings while also being aggressive makes him one of the best batsmen in the world right now.
**Editor**: Looking at Australia’s performance, what do you think went wrong for them in this series?
**Sarah Khan**: Australia clearly struggled with their batting, especially in the last match. They didn’t build partnerships and lost wickets at critical junctures. The batting lineup failed to adapt to the conditions, and their bowlers couldn’t capitalize on early breakthroughs. This series should serve as a wake-up call for them.
**Editor**: What does this win mean for Pakistan moving forward?
**Sarah Khan**: This win is a great confidence booster for the team, especially before upcoming international competitions. It demonstrates their capability to perform under pressure and can unify the team as they continue to build towards future series and tournaments. Fans should definitely be excited about what lies ahead!
**Editor**: Thank you, Sarah, for sharing your insights on this thrilling series!
**Sarah Khan**: My pleasure! It’s an exciting time for cricket fans, and I can’t wait to see how both teams progress from here.
