Pakistan's brilliant performance in the Boxing Day Test against Australia showcased their formidable bowling strength. The match took a dramatic turn as pacers Mir Hamza and Shaheen Afridi wreaked havoc on Australia's celebrated batting lineup. Wrapping up Australia for 264, Pakistan faced a 54-run deficit but turned the tables with exceptional bowling.

Leading the charge, Shaheen Afridi and Mir Hamza showcased their prowess, causing turmoil for the hosts in the second innings. Hamza's brilliance shone through as he claimed two crucial wickets, including the dismissal of Travis Head on a golden duck. The 31-year-old left-arm pacer stunned audiences with a sensational delivery that outfoxed the World Cup star.

Hamza's skillful delivery to Head, swinging massively inside to the left-hander, left both fans and commentators awestruck. Dismissing David Warner with a well-directed back-of-a-length ball, Hamza followed it up with a remarkable delivery to dismiss Head. Employing a perfect blend of swing and seam, Hamza's ball swung inside, pitching just outside off and seaming sharply to hit the middle stump.

Despite missing out on a hat-trick opportunity, Hamza's exceptional bowling drew accolades from cricket pundits and legends. Wasim Akram, the bowling maestro, lauded the delivery, describing it as a genius move. He highlighted Head's anticipation of an outswing but was bamboozled as the ball swung back in, leaving the middle stump disturbed.

Pakistan's bowling dominance persisted as Shaheen Afridi and Mir Hamza continued to trouble the hosts. With four wickets falling for a mere 16 runs, Australia found themselves in a precarious situation with a slim lead of 70. Shaheen's early strikes, dismissing Usman Khawaja and Marnus Labuschagne, set the stage for the Hamza spectacle, putting Australia in a tight spot in their second innings.
