Pakistan finished with a good score of 391 for 9 draws against Prime Minister’s XI 367 for 4. The visitors’ preparation for their series against Australia ended a day early due to extreme weather conditions in Canberra. Umpires and captains called off the game in the face of safety concerns after an electrical storm led to the covers blowing off the pitch and exposing it to rain. Pakistan’s bowling lineup, with Shaheen Shah Afridi, Hasan Ali, and Mohammad Wasim rested, is ready for the Test in Perth. The abandoned game denied Matt Renshaw the opportunity to build on his unbeaten 136 and press his case further to the national selectors. The playing pitch at Manuka Oval was wet due to the extreme weather, and the focus shifted to an alternate strip for an upcoming Big Bash League match.
