It was a thrilling game at the Adelaide Oval as Pakistan scripted a dominant 9-wicket win over Australia to level the series 1-1. Haris Rauf's five-wicket haul and a brilliant opening partnership between Saim Ayub and Abdullah Shafique set the stage for a quick victory. However, it was former skipper Babar Azam's unbeaten 15 and a stunning six to finish the match that stole the show and silenced the Australian commentators' attempts at commentary banter. With this win, Pakistan proved that they are not just here to participate, but to compete and win against the hosts.
Australia set a target of 368 runs for Pakistan. However, Pakistan's entire team was out for 305 runs in 45.3 overs. Adam Zampa was Australia's most successful bowler with 4 wickets in 10 overs, while Pat Cummins and Marcus Stoinis took 2 wickets each. For Pakistan, Imam-ul-Haq scored 70 runs and Abdullah Shafique scored 64 runs. Australia's solid opening with David Warner and Mitchell Marsh both scoring centuries played a crucial role in their victory.
