Saim hit five fours and six sixes during his blistering knock. Abdullah Shafique was joined by Babar Azam in the middle after he lost his opening partner. Babar and Abdullah saw Pakistan off to a series levelling victory as the visitors chased down the target with over 23 overs to spare.

Rauf’s pace wrecks Australia

  Haris Rauf unleashed a devastating five-wicket haul, dismantling Australia for just 163 in the second one-day international against Pakistan. His fiery figures of 5-29 came from relentless pace and precision, leaving the Australian batting line-up in tatters.

 

Rizwan shines behind the stumps

  Skipper Mohammad Rizwan played a pivotal role, claiming five catches—four off Rauf’s deliveries. Rizwan nearly made it six but dropped a top-edge from Adam Zampa, who eventually fell as the last man at 18.

 

Afridi’s power-play brilliance 

  Shaheen Shah Afridi set the tone early with a double strike in the power play, trapping Jake Fraser-McGurk leg before wicket and dismissing Matt Short, who was caught at covers after a dropped chance earlier. Afridi’s final figures of 3-26 underlined his impact.     

 

Australia struggles to steady the ship 

Steve Smith’s measured 35 off 48 balls was the only resistance against Pakistan’s relentless pace attack. His dismissal, chasing a wide short ball from Mohammad Hasnain, further deepened Australia’s woes.

 

Late cameos fall short

  Adam Zampa’s late flourish with a six and a four off Naseem Shah helped Australia limp past 150, but Rauf returned to clean up the middle and lower order, ensuring no dramatic recovery.

 

Key changes ahead of Perth finale

  Josh Inglis will lead a reshuffled Australian side in the final ODI at Perth, as Mitchell Starc, Steve Smith, Marnus Labuschagne, Pat Cummins, and Josh Hazlewood are rested. The T20 series captaincy also shifts to Inglis with Mitchell Marsh and Travis Head on paternity leave.
