In the 1st Test, Australia won the toss and elected to bat, posting a substantial total of 487 runs in their first innings. David Warner's impressive 164-run innings at the top of the order, well-supported by Mitchell Marsh's crucial 90 runs, established Australia's dominance. Aamer Jamal's six-wicket haul and Khurram Shahzad's two wickets offered some resistance for Pakistan. Responding to Australia's formidable total, Pakistan managed 271 runs in their first innings. Imam-ul-Haq's 62 runs and Abdullah Shafique's 42 runs showcased glimpses of stability in the top order. However, the Australian bowling attack, spearheaded by Nathan Lyon, Mitchell Starc, and Pat Cummins, managed to restrict Pakistan.
With a significant lead in hand, Australia commenced their second innings, notching 233 runs for the loss of 5 wickets and declared the innings. Despite David Warner's early dismissal, Usman Khawaja's resilient 90 runs and Mitchell Marsh's aggressive 63-run contribution steered Australia forward. Pakistan's Khurram Shahzad's three-wicket haul limited Australia's onslaught. Facing a challenging target in the fourth innings, Pakistan struggled to counter Australia's bowling might. They succumbed to the pressure and were bundled out for a mere 89 runs. Saud Shakeel's 24 runs were the only notable contribution as Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc wreaked havoc, each securing three crucial wickets, sealing Australia's victory by a substantial 360 runs.
