Mind Now Switches To Red Ball: Cummins Prepares For India Tests After ODI Loss To Pakistan
Pakistan pacer Haris Rauf's fiery five-wicket haul floored the Australian batters on their home turf to wrap them for 163 all out in 35 overs. Fellow speedster Shaheen Shah Afridi claimed the figures of 3-26 in his eight overs to further stamp their fast-bowling dominance on seam-friendly and bouncy Australian pitches.
In response, openers Saim Ayub and Abdullah Shafique set up a perfect start for the visitors with the 137-run partnership. Ayum, who was at his attacking best, hammered 82 off 71 balls laced with six sixes and five fours before spinner Adam Zampa got the sole wicket of Pakistan's innings in the 21st over. Babar Azam (15 not out) and Shafique, who scored an unbeaten 64 including four fours and three sixes, guided the side to a resonating nine-wicket win to level the three-match series 1-1.
