The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has treated cricket fans to a nostalgic trip down memory lane by sharing footage from an epic 2012 T20I encounter between Pakistan and Australia that went right down to the wire.
In a recent Instagram post captioned “#PCBArchive – Super Over Thriller | PAK v AUS, 2012 – 2nd T20I Part – 2 #Shorts #Reels M4B2A,” the board continued its series showcasing classic Pakistan cricket moments.
The video clip features the second part of the nail-biting super over from the second T20I of Australia’s tour to Pakistan in 2012. The 2012 match between Pakistan and Australia stands as one of the most memorable T20 encounters between the two cricketing nations. After the regular match ended in a tie, both teams faced off in a super over to determine the winner where Pakistan secured their victory.
The super over showcased the intense rivalry between these cricket powerhouses, with bowlers and batsmen locked in a high-pressure battle. The dramatic finish had fans on the edge of their seats as every ball became crucial in determining the outcome.
The PCB has been actively sharing nostalgic cricket content through their social media channels as part of what appears to be an ongoing archive initiative. These posts have become popular among cricket fans who enjoy reliving classic matches and performances from Pakistan cricket’s storied past.
In recent weeks, the PCB’s Instagram account has featured various memorable moments, including the first part of this same super over thriller. The board’s social media strategy seems focused on connecting fans with Pakistan cricket’s rich history while building excitement for current and future matches.
Besides sharing archive footage, the PCB has been busy with several other cricket developments. Recent posts from their Instagram account show they’re actively promoting a Talent Hunt Programme, with PCB Head of Youth Development Azhar Ali announcing that around 400 schools and colleges across Pakistan have already registered for the initiative.
The board also recently celebrated the achievement of Muneeba Siddiqui, who was named in the ICC Women’s World Cup Qualifier Team of the Tournament, highlighting Pakistan women’s cricket’s growing prominence on the international stage.
This blend of nostalgic content and current cricket updates demonstrates the PCB’s dedication to engaging fans across generations while preserving Pakistan cricket’s rich heritage through their digital archive initiative.
