Pakistan played better than Australia, says Mohammad Hafeez

The team director expressed regret over errors with the bat, ball, and in the field that resulted in Pakistan missing out on a rare Test victory in Australia.

An emotionally charged Mohammad Hafeez asserted that Pakistan was "the superior team" shortly after their defeat by 79 runs in the second Test against Australia at the MCG.

In a captivating contest where Australia could not establish a significant lead over the visitors until the final half-hour, Pakistan made strides toward the target of 317, courtesy of a partnership between Salman Ali Agha and Mohammad Rizwan. Requiring 98 runs to win with five wickets in hand, the momentum shifted after Rizwan's dismissal, leading to the loss of the last five wickets for 18 runs in 40 balls.
