Aamer Jamal, Pakistan’s pace bowler, showcased another outstanding performance with the ball, securing 6 wickets. This remarkable achievement establishes him as the first bowler in Pakistan’s Test cricket history to claim 18 wickets in a debut series spanning three matches or fewer.
Jamal’s exceptional display began with seven wickets in the first Test, including a 6-fer in the first innings. He continued his impressive form with five wickets at the MCG in the second Test and added another 6-fer in the first innings of the Sydney Test.

Pakistan exhibited a stellar performance, swiftly securing the final four wickets while conceding a mere 10 runs after the tea break.
In a pivotal moment, Mitchell Marsh, who crafted a resilient 54-run innings, offered a straightforward catch to Shan Masood at mid-off, falling victim to Jamal’s strategic bowling.
Additionally, Travis Head’s brief stint at the crease ended at just 10 runs, as he was trapped by Aamer Jamal’s precision, resulting in an LBW dismissal during the second session.
Aamer Jamal concluded with impressive figures of 6 for 69, bowling 21.4 overs, and played a pivotal role in limiting Australia to 299 runs over 109.4 overs.
Aamer Jamal’s outstanding performance, where he not only contributed over 80 runs but also achieved a six-wicket haul in the same match, places him alongside Pakistan’s legendary World Cup 1992-winning captain, Imran Khan.
Imran Khan accomplished this feat against India in 1983, making Aamer Jamal’s achievement a noteworthy addition to Pakistan cricket’s illustrious history.
Furthermore, Jamal has also joined the elite club of Pakistani bowlers with the best bowling figures in Sydney, alongside Mohammad Asif and Imran Khan.
