Fast bowler Haris Rauf grabbed a five-for and was the pick of the Pakistan pacers, who bowled out Australia at a mere 163 runs in the second ODI being played at Adelaide Oval.
The Rawalpindi-born pacer, who had picked up three wickets in the 1st ODI defeat as well, was again at his devastating best as he ripped through the Aussie middle order after the hosts were invited to bat first by toss winner Mohammad Rizwan.
Rauf’s demolition job was facilitated by Shaheen Shah Afridi, who had removed both the Aussie openers, Jake Fraser-McGurk and Matthew Short, in his opening spell with the new ball.
It was also busy and productive day behind the wickets for captain Rizwan, who grabbed world record equalling six catches and could have had a seventh in the end, only for him to drop a skier.
In the end, Rauf finished with 5 wickets, Afridi with three, while Naseem Shah and Mohammad Hasnain grabbed a scalp each.
For Australia, Steven Smith top scored with 35.
