WATCH: Babar Azam helps Shaheen Shah Afridi fix his thumb injury during 3rd ODI game vs Australia

Pakistan have outplayed Australia in the ongoing 3-match ODI series in the Kangaroo Nation. Both batters and bowlers have done a brilliant job in all the games. They even deserved to win the first game, but Steven Smith and Josh Inglis formed a brilliant partnership to win the match by two wickets. But, Pakistan claimed their revenge in the second game by winning it with a huge margin of nine wickets.

They are doing the same in the ongoing 3rd ODI as well, where Pakistan got a target of 141 runs. As we write, Pakistan have made 74 runs in 15 overs with ten wickets in hand. Australia are helpless without their main players like Pat Cummins, Steven Smith and many others. However, during the game, an interesting thing was seen when Babar Azam came forward to help Shaheen Afridi as he injured his fingers trying to take a catch.

The fans were amused by the incident considering the internal rivalry going on between the players. However, this seemed like a positive change in attitude in the players under Mohammad Rizwan's captaincy. Beating Australia in their own home ground isn't everyone's cup of tea but Pakistan have done a great job in the series. 

Mohammad Rizwan's brilliant fielding continues

In the second ODI game, captain Mohammad Rizwan took six catches, raising the bar for the others to follow. Pakistan have always been mocked for their fielding in games but Rizwan, being the captain of the team, is changing the team's outlook on the field.

A lot of energy and enthusiasm is floating on the ground, thanks to the skipper. Now, in the third game too, Rizwan took three catches. This speaks volumes about his captaincy and his efforts on the field. There is a high chance Pakistan will succeed in the third game, which will become history.
