Aamir Jamal, a fiery Pakistani fast bowler, etched his name in cricketing history on Friday with a sensational six-wicket haul on his Test debut against Australia in Perth. His spell, the sixth-best by a Pakistani debutant, helped bowl out the hosts for 487, setting a challenging yet attainable target for Pakistan.
David Warner’s defiant 164 from the opening day provided Australia with a strong foundation, but Jamal’s relentless pace and accuracy proved too much for the Aussie middle order. He ripped through the batting line-up, claiming the prized scalp of Mitchell Marsh for 90 just after lunch.
Jamal’s feat wasn’t the only Pakistani milestone of the day. Fellow debutant Khurram Shahzad chipped in with two wickets, and the young bowling unit collectively put Australia’s batting to the test.
This fighting spirit rekindled Pakistan’s hopes of a historic win in Australia, a feat they haven’t achieved since 1995. With a daunting task ahead and momentum building, the upcoming days promise thrilling cricket as Pakistan seeks to conquer the Aussies on their soil.
