Bengaluru: Australia have defeated Pakistan by 62 runs as Pakistan all team out on a score of 305 runs.
The careless and irresponsible batting by Pakistan skipper is clear reason for Pakistan defeat as Pakistani openers Imam and Abdullah Shafique have given solid score of 134 runs to next week but Pakistani skipper again bowled at a meager score of 18 runs.
Pakistan opening batsmen Abdullah Shafique and Imam Ul Haq played better innings today while chasing the whopping target of 368 runs as they scored 134 runs in the first wicket partnership.
Abdullah Shafique was first to lose his wicket on 64 runs which included seven fours and two sixes with splendid strike rate of 104.91 while Imam Ul Haq also bowled at 70 runs with 10 fours and with a brilliant strike rate of 98. 59.
Another partnership between Rizwan and Saud Shakeel made 57 runs Saud Shakeel departed after scoring 30 runs.
Rizwan and Iftakhar scored 37 runs in the fifth wicket partnership. Muhammad Rizwan smashed 46 runs.
Pakistan batters were impassioned unnecessarily as achievement of target were going in right direction. If they were stayed on the pitch they would have definitely achieved the target.
Pakistan’s whole team bowled out at 305 runs in 46th over as they could not play all 50 over so pathetic.
