The first Test match between Pakistan and Australia (Pakistan vs Australia, 1st Test) ended in a draw. Batting first, the Pakistani team scored 476 runs for 4 wickets in a pitch suitable for the batsmen. In response, the Australian team also scored 459 runs and after that in the second innings, the Pakistani team scored 252 runs without losing a wicket. The bowlers proved unsuccessful for five days and the match ended in a draw. The match was completely dull but during this match four interesting figures came out.
A total of 1187 runs were scored in the Rawalpindi Test and only 14 wickets fell in it. It is clear from the statistics that there was nothing for the bowlers in the pitch. Steve Smith also criticized the pitch. Many Pakistani cricketers were seen questioning the Rawalpindi pitch.
Against Pakistan, the Australian team could take only 4 wickets in the entire match and its bowlers gave away 728 runs. This is the worst performance of Australian bowlers. When Australia has taken 5 or less wickets in a Test, then never before has there been such a poor performance.
Imam-ul-Haq entered a particular club by scoring centuries in both the innings of the same Test. He is the 10th batsman from Pakistan who has scored a hundred in both the innings of the Test. Also, he is the first left-handed batsman from Pakistan to do this feat.
In the Rawalpindi Test, Fawad Alam did not bat in both the innings. Also he neither bowled nor took any catch. In the last 28 years, he is the first player from Pakistan who did not get a chance to contribute on any front in a Test match.
