Scorecard for the match between the Pakistani national cricket team and the Australian men’s cricket team:
At the Sydney Cricket Ground on Saturday, star bowler Haris Rauf stole the show with an incredible four-wicket haul in the second Twenty20 International match against Australia.
Rauf put in an outstanding display, spearheading the attack with accuracy and technique, while Pakistan’s top pacers, Shaheen Afridi and Naseem Shah, found it difficult to limit the runs.
Rauf took four vital wickets with his quickness and accuracy, which stopped Australia’s momentum. When Rauf’s quick short ball removed the lively Jake Fraser-McGurk for 20 in the fourth over, the damage started. Josh Inglis was bowled out for a duck on the very next delivery.
Tim David tried a strong shot over the line but was outfoxed by Rauf, who scored again in the 15th over, falling for 18. After dismissing Xavier Bartlett for only five runs in the 19th over, the Pakistani bowler completed his four-wicket haul.
Rauf’s four-wicket haul against Australia in the Twenty20 International made him the second-best bowling figure for Pakistan.
