Australia vs Pakistan 3rd ODI: The third ODI match is being played between Australia and Pakistan in Perth. Pakistan's fast bowlers are wreaking havoc on the bouncy pitch of Perth. Australian batsmen are not even able to play Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf. This three-match series is currently tied at 1-1. In such a situation, Pakistan team is on the verge of winning the series.
Till the time of writing the news, Australia has lost 6 wickets at the score of only 88. One batsman has retired hurt. Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf have taken two wickets each for Pakistan. Shaheen Afridi and Mohammad Hasnain got one wicket each.
Pakistan won the toss in this match and decided to bowl first. So far this decision has proved to be absolutely correct. Jack Fraser McGurk, who came to open the innings for Australia, was a field flop once. He was dismissed by Naseem Shah. He could score only seven runs in 9 balls with the help of one four.
After this, Aaron Hardy at number three also could not stay at the crease for long. Hardy was dismissed by Shaheen Afridi. He returned to the pavilion after scoring 12 runs in 13 balls with the help of two fours. After the fall of two wickets for 36 runs, the Kangaroos had high expectations from captain Josh Inglis, but he disappointed once again.
Josh English was out after scoring seven runs in 19 balls with the help of one four. Naseem Shah sent him to the pavilion. After this, Haris Rauf showed the way to the pavilion to Matthew Short, who was set. He was out after scoring 22 runs in 30 balls.
After the complete flop of the top order, the last hope was from Marcus Stoinis and Glenn Maxwell. But even these two giants could not stand against the Pakistani bowlers. When Stoinis was out after scoring eight runs in 25 balls, Maxwell could not even open his account.
