Australia and Pakistan have played competitive cricket over the years as they lock horn in the series decider on Saturday. In the 2nd ODI, Babar Azam led by example and scored a scintillating hundred off just 74 balls. Imam ul Haq also made his 2nd ton of the series, as he looked to take the attack to the opposition. After scoring 348 runs, Australia would be expecting Pakistan to chase a huge target under lights. It was a classical batting strip for both teams, where Shaheen managed to get four scalps in the innings.

After their bowlers were taken to the cleaners by seasoned Pakistani openers, Babar Azam joined the party and brutally attacked the young and inexperienced Australian bowling lineup. Mc Dermott and Marnus Labuschagne were simply outstanding with the bat. Travis Head continued showcasing why he’s the best pick for the opening slot. In the bowling lineup, Zampa was economical, but no other bowlers were able to restrict Pakistan batters.
