Jamal, who batted ninth, scored crucial runs for his team at the end of the game. He hit the highest-ever score by a Pakistani No. 9 in Australia, 82 runs off 97 balls.
It’s worth remembering that Nathan Lyon dropped Aamer Jamal off his own bowling in the 58th over. The hosts paid dearly for the missed opportunity, as Jamal counterattacked the opposing bowlers with style.
Despite a slow start, the Men in Green scored 313 runs thanks to Mohammad Rizwan (88) and Jamal.
Pakistan’s leading wicket-taker in the three-match Test series against Australia is Aamer Jamal
In his maiden Test series, Aamer Jamal made an impression. The right-arm fast bowler made an impressive debut in Perth, collecting six wickets in the first innings.
He is presently Pakistan’s leading wicket-taker in the ongoing series, with 12 wickets.
Furthermore, he has 125 runs in five innings and is the fourth-highest run-scorer for his team, after only Babar Azam and Abdullah Shafique.
At stumps on Day 1, Australia was 6/0. David Warner (6*) and Usman Khawaja will bat first on Day 2.
The series has already been won by the home team, which holds a commanding 2-0 lead after dominating the first two games. Pakistan will seek to win their first Test on Australian soil since 1995-96.
