PAK vs AUS 3rd ODI: The three-match ODI series between the teams of Pakistan and Australia is currently tied at 1-1. In the third match, the Australian team, which came on the field with the intention of capturing the series, looked completely helpless in front of the Pakistani bowlers. In this match, the Australian team got a strong start, but the Pakistani bowlers completely dominated in the middle overs, due to which the entire Australian team was all out after scoring 157 runs in 42 overs.
Australian team scattered like cards
Australia’s decision to bat first after winning the toss proved completely wrong when the Kangaroo team lost its last 7 wickets by adding only 38 runs. At the beginning of the match, captain Josh English held one end firmly and displayed excellent batting. Trying to get his team out of trouble, he played a brilliant inning of 65 runs. As long as Inglis was present at the crease, it seemed that Australia was moving towards a strong and big score. But as soon as Shaheen Shah Afridi showed the English side the way to the pavilion, the entire Australian innings collapsed like a house of cards.
At one time the Australian team had scored 119 runs at the loss of 3 wickets in 26 overs. But after this Josh English was out and then no Australian batsman could stay on the crease. By the time it reached 157 runs, the team also lost the remaining 6 wickets. Apart from Josh English, no other batsman could touch the 20-run mark. Marnus Labuschagne and Alex Carey scored 19-19 runs. At the same time, Adam Zampa contributed 10 runs in the end. Apart from this, no player could even touch double figures.
Shaheen Shah Afridi wreaked havoc
Shaheen Shah Afridi bowled amazingly for Pakistan and took 3 wickets while giving 30 runs in 8 overs. Abrar Ahmed and Shadab Khan also made 2-2 batsmen their victims. Apart from these, Haris Rauf also managed to take 1 wicket in his name.
