The Pakistan team is currently on a tour of Australia. Before the three-Test series, the Pakistan team played a four-day warm-up match against Prime Minister XI. Pakistan captain Shan Masood has fulfilled what he said before the match. After Babar Azam stepped down from the captaincy, Shan Masood became the new captain of the Pakistan Test team. Shan Masood had said before the Australia tour that the team's batting approach would seem changed. At the same time, before this warm-up match, it was said that Pakistan's batsmen would put pressure on the host team by scoring fast runs against Australia. Whatever Shaan had said, he has shown it.

Actually, after winning the toss against Prime Minister XI, the Pakistan team decided to bat first. But, could not get a good start. Imam ul Haq was out on the score of just 18. He scored only 9 runs. After this, Captain Shan Masood himself came to the crease to support Abdullah Shafiq.

Pakistan got the second blow in the form of Abdullah Shafiq on the score of 76. He played an inning of 38 runs. After this, Babar Azam came to support Masood and there was a partnership of 92 runs between the two. Pakistan's third wicket in the form of Babar Azam fell at the score of 168. He played an inning of 40 runs. While the process of falling wickets continued from one end, captain Shan Masood kept the other end under control.

By the end of the first day's play, Pakistan had scored 324 runs at the loss of 6 wickets. Captain Shan Masood is unbeaten after scoring 156 runs on 235 balls with the help of 13 fours and one six. With this inning, Shan Masood has shown that he will set an example for the players.
