NEW DELHI: Following a resounding defeat in the opening Test against Australia in Perth, Pakistan are focusing on a two-day tour match against a Victorian XI to regroup and rebuild confidence, aiming to address shortcomings and fine-tune preparations ahead of the pivotal Boxing Day Test in Melbourne.
The first Test saw Pakistan endure a 360-run loss, marking their 15th consecutive Test defeat on Australian soil. Struggling to adapt to the challenging conditions, the batsmen managed a mere 89 runs in their second innings.
