Australia Shot Out for 163 After Haris Rauf Five-Fer

Pakistan's Fast Bowlers Exploit Pace and Bounce in Adelaide Oval Surface

Haris Rauf produced his second five-wicket haul in ODIs to lead a fiery bowling performance from Pakistan as they bowled out Australia for 163 in the second ODI.

Australia's Batting Effort Inadequate on a Decent Batting Surface

Australia's batters weren't able to cope with the pace and bounce in the surface, exploiting the few edges to get wickets. Steve Smith (35) was the only batter to get into the 20s.

Rauf Leads Pakistan's Relentless Approach in Chipping Away at Wickets

Rauf bowled with extreme pace, creating chances from the outset. He had a sharp chance off just his third delivery and had Josh Inglis in his second over, edging a skiddy shortish length ball down the leg-side. Marnus Labuschagne fell soon after in Rauf's third over.

Other Notable Wickets

  • Steve Smith was caught behind off a harmless short-and-wide ball off Mohammad Hasnain.
  • Aaron Hardie and Glenn Maxwell tried to dig in but neither were comfortable at the crease.

Pakistan's Bowling Performance

  • Haris Rauf: 5-29
  • Shaheen Afridi: 3-26
  • Saim Ayub dropped a crucial catch.
