After losing the first ODI against Australia, Pakistan has made a great counterattack. Pakistan's counterattack was on the strength of Haris Rauf who did not let the Kangaroo batsmen breathe with his pace. This right-handed fast bowler took five wickets for just 29 runs. On the strength of this stormy bowling of Haris Rauf, Pakistan bowled out Australia for just 163 runs. The big thing is that the Australian team was all out 90 balls earlier.
Haris Rauf made John Inglis his first victim. After this, he also took the wickets of Marnus Labuschagne and Aaron Hardy. In this way, Rauf broke the back of the Australian middle order. Rauf also took revenge for the last match by dismissing Australian captain Pat Cummins. Pat Cummins had snatched victory from Pakistan in the last match. Haris Rauf also bowled out Glenn Maxwell. Harris has taken five wickets for the second time in his ODI career and this is his best ODI performance against Australia.
Haris Rauf is the first Pakistani fast bowler to take five wickets for less than 30 runs in an ODI match in Adelaide. Earlier, Sohail Khan had taken five wickets for 55 runs against India on the same ground in 2015. But now the record of best performance in Adelaide is in the name of Haris Rauf. By the way, 28 years ago on the same ground, Saqlain Mushtaq had taken five wickets for 29 runs, now Harris has done this feat.

The surprising thing is that the Australian team full of great batsmen could not play for 50 overs. No batsman on the team could even score a half-century. Steve Smith scored the highest 35 runs. Apart from him, no player reached the figure of 20. Short-19, Magark-13 runs. Inglis was out after scoring 18 runs. Labuschagne was dismissed for 6 runs. Maxwell could also score only 16 runs. Hardy scored 14 runs.
