Australian skipper Pat Cummins was thrilled to claim a historic Test series in Pakistan just months after their Ashes victory, on their first Test tour to the country in 24 years.
“I think everyone is totally elated. Winning at home in the Ashes series and winning overseas doesn’t happen very often,” said Cummins, whose team arrived on the back of a 4-0 Ashes win over England in January.
“It was real toil for the last 25 to 30 days and to come here was totally different to Australia, with different conditions,” he added, after being declared man of the match.
Australia capped the three-match series with a 115-run win in the final match here on Friday, with spinner Nathan Lyon taking 5-83 and Cummins 3-23. Set 351 runs to win, Pakistan were bowled out for 235 in their second innings, losing their last five wickets for a mere 22 runs.
