With this innings, Warner finished his Test career with a total of 8,786 runs from 112 matches, averaging 44.59 and achieving 26 centuries since his first game against New Zealand in 2011.
The Green Shirts suffered a 3-0 defeat in the Test series against Australia, but there were some positive aspects for the Pakistan team. Despite losing the third Test, Aamer Jamal’s exceptional performance with both bat and ball earned him the Player of the Match award.
