The Last and final Test Match between Australia and Pakistan had ended on an interesting note as Pakistan still managed to get to 313 despite a bit of a collapse at the top. The Australian bowlers will be pleased with their performance, but will also think they give too many runs at the end of the day. The knocks from Mohammad Rizwan, Agha Salman and Aamer Jamal came as a blessing in disguise for the South Asian giants and will still try to bring the game back to the Aussies. The Aussies could only play one over at the end with 6 runs on the board without losing a wicket.

Apart from the match, we must also acknowledge that this will be the final innings of the 37-year-old pocket dynamo David Warner, who has had a magnificent Test career of 111 games and over 8000 runs. With the amount of fans and players who have seen him play, it will be difficult to see him not don the Baggy Green again after this match. He is also playing his last Test match at the Sydney Cricket Ground(SCG), which is also his home, which will be an emotional send-off for the southpaw.

 

Pakistan player's guard of honour

The Pakistan players at the start of the Australia innings on day 1 chose to show their respect to Warner by giving him an incredible guard of honour. This was a great gesture from Pakistan showing great sportsman spirit to one of the best cricketers in modern-day cricket. This shows how much of an impact Warner has had on the players and this guard of honour is a great example. This is the Pakistan players playing with the same spirit they have shown throughout this series giving their respects to the Aussies and Warner as a worthy adversary.

Warner will remain one of the most iconic openers for Australia in Test matches with his aggressive nature to dominate the bowlers straight away. The Pakistan players not only showed their spirit with the bat by making a comeback after a mini collapse but also respected the nature and great career of David Warner at the end of the day. Overall it is also a good start to the Test match where it is still anybody's game and is looking like a tough contest between the two sides.
