Pakistan have won just their second match against Australia down under in 19 years, after beating the hosts in the second ODI today (November 8).
Pakistan, who are slowly fighting back from their worst-ever slump in cricket, recorded a historic win in the second ODI in Adelaide, winning the clash by nine wickets. After dismissing the hosts for 163 in the first innings, courtesy of Haris Rauf’s five-for, Saim Ayub and Abdullah Shafique posted 137 runs for the first wicket in 121 deliveries.
Ayub, who struck six sixes during his knock of 82, was dismissed by Adam Zampa before Babar Azam walked out. Shafique was unbeaten on 64, while the former skipper Babar made 15*. Pakistan reached the target in just 26.3 overs.
Pakistan, under a new skipper in Mohammad Rizwan, had lost the first ODI by two wickets. The series is now level, with the third ODI on November 10.
