Australia crumble again with bat to fold for 140

Australia's Batting Collapses Again Against Pakistan

Australia Bowled Out For 140

Australia struggled to get past 140, with half their team getting out by the time they reached 79 after just 18 overs of play. Despite racing to 18/0 in the first two overs, Pakistan's pace bowlers, including Naseem Shah and Shaheen Afridi, took control.

• [Jake Fraser-McGurk] edged a Naseem Shah delivery behind the wicket for 7.
• [Aaron Hardie] was dismissed after playing a couple of delightful shots, but got out against Shaheen Afridi, with indecisiveness costing him his wicket.
• [Josh Inglis] top-edged a pull while attempting to swing to Naseem's offspin.
• [Matthew Short] timed a shot straight to a fielder stationed near deep to add to Australia's woes.
• [Cooper Connolly] got stuck on his glove and walked off the field, not returning for the rest of the innings.
• [Glenn Maxwell] was dismissed again by Haris Rauf for a duck.
• [Marcus Stoinis] was out for a scratchy 25-ball 8.
• [Sean Abbott] and [Adam Zampa] dragged the team past the three-figure mark, but it was always a losing battle.
• [Shaheen Afridi] finished with 3/32, while Naseem Shah took 3/54.
