The Babar Azam-led Pakistan National Cricket Team faced a horrible batting collapse in the third Test match of the three-match series against Australia, courtesy of the deadly pace duo of Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc.
The third and last match of the three-match Test series between Pat Cummins-led Australia and Babar Azam-led Pakistan is being played at the Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore. Notably, the first two games of the series, which were played in Rawalpindi and Karachi ended in a draw and the winner of the Lahore Test will win the Benaud-Qadir Trophy.

Meanwhile, Australia won the toss and opted to bat first in the 3rd Test match and with the help of amazing batting performance of Usman Khawaja (91), Steve Smith (59), all-rounder Cameron Green (79) and wicketkeeper-batsman Alex Carey (67), Australia were able to score 391 runs.
Pakistan were off to a good start, in their first innings despite losing the wicket of Imam-ul-Haq at the score of 20 as Azhar Ali and Abdullah Shafique added amazing 150 runs together. Azhar’s innings ended at the score of 78 runs off 208 balls and Shafique scored 81 runs off 228 balls. Also, skipper Babar Azam scored brilliant 67 runs.
However, the Australian captain Pat Cummins, who is the No.1 ranked Test bowler and left-arm pacer Mitchell Starc together completely destroyed the Pakistan batting unit.
At a point in time, Pakistan were at 214/3 and they got bundled out for just 268 runs, the Pakistan batters looked clueless against the Australian express pacers. Pakistan lost their last 5 wickets for less than 5 runs which is their worst ever last 5 wickets collapse in the history of Test cricket.
Also, the Australian captain Pat Cummins bagged his first five-wicket haul in Pakistan and Mitchell Starc was able to pick up 4 wickets.
Here’s How Twitter Reacted To Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc’s Complete Domination:

Weren't Pak 248-4 a while back?

This is Pakistan's worst ever last 5 wickets collapse in the Test history. First time that they have lost 5 wickets for less than 5 runs. From 264-5 to 268 all out. #PakvAus

Pakistan 248 for 3 to 268 for 10 – one of the greatest spell in Asia in recent times by overseas pacers – Starc and Cummins.

Cummins is a literal god.

Woah.. Pakistan really collapsed from 248-3 to 268 all out. That's some effort from both Cummins & Starc!
— Gurkirat Singh Gill (@gurkiratsgill) March 23, 2022
Famous spell from Starc, this isn’t being forgotten in a long time. One of the best of his career
— Dave (@CricketDave27) March 23, 2022
Wow! That is a head-scratching collapse. Just for a while I didn't follow and I see 268 all out.
Stunning work from the relentless Cummins and also Starc.
— Bharath Ramaraj (@Fancricket12) March 23, 2022
M Starc and Pat Cummins deserve all appreciation for once again turning test match on a low and dead pitch in their pocket courtesy tremendous fastbowling. Similar to what Australia did in Karachi Test. Indeed Australia dominated over Pakistan in three match test series! #PAKvAUS
— Arfa Feroz Zake (@ArfaSays_) March 23, 2022
Last 4 wickets for zero runs! Last 7 wickets for 20 runs. We have seen collapses but these are a different level..

Australia bundled out Pak on 268 from 214/2.
Well bowled M Starc (4/33) and Cummins (5/56). ??

That was some session for Australia. More jaffas from Starc and Cummins than you'll see on a cinema floor on a Saturday night. Expect Australia will give this everything now. Final shot at a result and from a good position. #PAKvAUS
— Melinda Farrell (@melindafarrell) March 23, 2022
Starc & Cummins firing in tandem – is there much better?! Fun to watch!
— Neroli Meadows (@Neroli_Meadows) March 23, 2022
7 wickets for just 20. What an epic collapse in Lahore, courtesy of Starc-Cummins. Australia bags a lead of 121 runs. If somehow they bat tomorrow, they can easily get 400 + lead. Call Pak to bat in final session & pick one or two wickets. This series might get result. #AUSvsPAK
— CHARLIE (@CharlieGulshan) March 23, 2022
Sensational pell in tandem by Cummins and Starc to out their team in command of the match
— Cricketwallah (@cricketwallah) March 23, 2022

These guys will talk up Cummins and Starc but not ask the right questions on Shaheen and Hasan, who were averaging better than them in the last 1 year have not performed to their level in this series because it opens up uncomfortable qs on preparation.#PAKvAUS pic.twitter.com/oYwa8mdERL
— Cricketing Thoughts (@ThinkingCric) March 23, 2022
Well wasn’t that something special! Pakistan lose 7-20 as Cummins & Starc rip through them before Usman & Warner negotiate the final 10 minutes. Australia 0/11 with a lead of 134. #PAKvAUS pic.twitter.com/bVRU7uEUX4
