Minhas Helps Pakistan Dismiss Australia for 200 in First ODI
Minhas became the first Pakistani to take five wickets on ODI debut as Australia were dismissed for 200 in 44.1 overs.
- On May 30, 2026, 21-year-old all-rounder Arafat Minhas claimed the best bowling figures by a Pakistani on ODI debut, taking 5/32 against Australia at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.
- Minhas's performance broke the 41-year-old record held by former right-arm pacer Zakir Khan, who took 4/19 against New Zealand in 1984, and surpassed the best spinner record held by Abdul Qadir.
- Minhas initiated his spell by taking Australia captain Inglis in the 14th over, subsequently trapping Marnus Labuschagne lbw and bowling Cameron Green for a duck before dismissing Matthew Short.
- Backed by fellow spinners Abrar Ahmed and Salman Ali Agha, Minhas helped bowl out Australia for a modest 200 in the series opener.
- This performance marks the opening match of a three-match series, positioning Pakistan to capitalize on strong bowling momentum in Rawalpindi.
