Pakistan secured an impressive series victory in the three-match ODI series, winning the deciding match with a dominant eight-wicket performance in Perth. Originally, this third ODI match held significant importance as the series decider. However, ahead of the clash, Australia's key players including captain Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, and Steve Smith were rested to prepare for the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy. In a surprising turn of events, Pakistan claimed their first ODI series win on Australian soil for the first time in 22 years, finishing with a convincing eight-wicket victory in Perth. Meanwhile, Pat Cummins, who had skipped the match, drew attention for attending a Coldplay concert with his wife at Sydney's Accor Stadium, while his team suffered a heavy defeat on the other side.

In a conversation with ESPNcricinfo, Clarke said: "I think I would have been absolutely smashed by the media. I think I've said over the last few days how I felt about the Test players missing that last one day. I would have liked to have seen them play that game. There was 11 days from the last one-dayer to the first Test, so I thought they could have all played. If Cricket Australia wanted to rest the fast bowlers, I understand that, but I'm pretty sure the batters that were left out probably could have played.” It is worth mentioning that, the senior players who are a part of the Test squad for the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy series are gearing up for the crucial series. On the other side, a younger Australian side led by Josh Inglish is leading in the three-match T20I series against Pakistan. The first match of the series will be played on November 14.
