In Australia's first visit through Pakistan starting around 1998, the hosts announced on 476-4 in their first innings, with Imam making 157 and Azhar Ali 185.

 

The guests were then all out for 459 as Usman Khawaja top scored with 97.

 

Imam (111 not out) and individual opener Abdullah Shafique (136 not out) arrived at 252-0 as the game finished in a draw.

 

In a Test overwhelmed by the bat, the initial organization between the pair was their country's most noteworthy ever against Australia.

 

Imam's thump in the primary innings was his lady Test ton and Shafique praised similar accomplishment with his score in the subsequent innings.

 

Australia, who oversaw only four wickets in the match, saw Khawaja get to inside three runs of a century, while Marnus Labuschagne scored 90 and Steve Smith 78.

 

The travelers wore dark armbands following the demise of previous wicketkeeper Rod Marsh right from the start, while the declaration that comrade and cricket legend Shane Warne had kicked the bucket came not long after the end of play on the very first moment.

 

No global cricket was played in Pakistan for quite some time following an assault in the Sri Lanka group by shooters in Lahore in 2009, with most of their home matches being held in the United Arab Emirates all things being equal.

 

Visiting groups started to return in 2015 and Pakistan facilitated their first home men's Test for a long time when Sri Lanka went there in 2019.
