Pakistan: Sahibzada Farhan, Saim Ayub, Salman Agha(c), Babar Azam, Usman Khan(w), Mohammad Nawaz, Shadab Khan, Faheem Ashraf, Abrar Ahmed, Naseem Shah, Usman Tariq

Pakistan openers - Saim Ayub and Sahibzada Farhan have given a strong start with two consecutive boundaries in the first over. PAK would want a brisk start from their openers.

PAK 13/0 (1)

Despite losing Sahibzada Farhan early, Saim Ayub (37*) and skipper Salman Ali Agha (23*) have given their team a blistering start. PAK are batting with a run-rate of 15 runs per over - a sight not much common with Pakistani batting.

What was looking as a blistering start is halted a bit by two quick wickets. Pakistan lose back-to-back wickets in the form of Saim Ayub and Babar Azam. However, skipper Salman Agha is still there batted beautifully at 59 off just 32 balls.

PAK 96/3 (10)

Sean Abott gets Salman Agha for 76 runs in just 40 balls but the skipper had provided a solid base for the middle order to explode in the final overs. Usman Khan now has the onus along with Shadab Khan to take Pakistan to a solid first innings total.

PAK 139/4 (15)

Usman Khan and Shadab Khan gave Pakistan's innings the much needed impetus to get them an imposing total of 198 at the Gaddafi Stadium. Mohammad Nawaz also chipped in with 2 fours in 3 balls to take his team to a strong first innings total.

PAK 198/5 (20)

Australia have got off to a decent start against Shaheen Afridi in a big chase of 198 runs. Mitchell Marsh and Travis Head have the onus to provide their team a strong start, if they want to a real chance of chasing down the target.

AUS 9/0 (1)

Australia still trying to play aggressively despite losing three early wickets. Cameron Green smashed Saim Ayub of 6,4,6 in consecutive deliveries to give some impetus to Australia's innings. Abrar Ahmed shines again with 2 wickets in consecutive overs.

AUS 48/3 (6)

Australia are SIX down in just 11 overs and the target is looking very uphill for them from here. Cooper Connolly is the last batter to depart, who was castled by Shadab Khan.

AUS 76/6 (11)

That's it! Usman Tariq dismissed Matthew Kuhnemann to bundle Australia for 108 in 15.4 overs. Abrar Ahmad and Shadab Khan were the pick of the bowlers for Pakistan, scalping three wickets each to thump the visitors by 90 runs.

AUS 108 (15.4)

That's a wrap from our end. We'll meet soon with another blog soon, until then, bye bye.
