Australia register series win in Pakistan after 24 years!

On the fifth and final day of the Lahore test,  Australian off-spinner Nathan Lyon took five wickets to help his team beat Pakistan by 115 runs and clinch the three-match series 1-0 on Friday.

Layon bagged the prized wickets of Imam-ul-Haq, Azhar Ali, and Babar Azam to end the home team’s resistance and finished with figures of 5-83 in Pakistan’s second innings.

Fast bowler Pat Cummins picked up three wickets as Pakistan folded for 235 on the final day of the Test match at the Gaddafi Stadium.

Pakistan failed to impress with the bat chasing a target of 351 in the final innings.
