The second ODI between Australia and Pakistan is scheduled for Friday, November 8 at Adelaide Oval, with the goal of extending Australia’s 1-0 advantage.
Pakistan is on tour in Australia for a six-match series consisting of three ODIs and three T20Is.
Australia’s Mitchell Starc and skipper Pat Cummins were instrumental in the opening ODI, both as batsmen and bowlers. Cummins and Starc led their team to victory at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Monday, November 4, by holding Pakistan to a low score and remaining steadfast at the crease throughout the chase.
With Pakistan wiped out for just 203 runs in 46.4 overs, Starc’s scorching performance put Australia in a dominant position at the innings break.
What seemed to be an easy chase became difficult for Australia because of Haris Rauf. Rauf’s blazing burst caused Australia to collapse to 155 for 7 after they had established a strong foundation at 139 for 3, with Steven Smith and Josh Inglis in control.
When Sean Abbott was run out at 185 for 8, the situation deteriorated and he almost took Cummins with him. However, the captain refused to back down, and Australia won the game.
The visitors will want to equal the series and exact retribution for losing the first one in the second ODI.
