Pakistan are touring Australia for a series that includes three ODIs and three T20Is, making it a six-match series in total.
In the first ODI, Australia’s captain Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc played key roles in both bowling and batting. Cummins and Starc not only restricted Pakistan to a modest total but also stood firm at the crease during the chase, leading their team to victory at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Monday, November 4.
Starc delivered a sizzling spell, putting Australia in a commanding position at the innings break, with Pakistan bowled out for just 203 runs in 46.4 overs.
Haris Rauf made what appeared to be a straightforward chase a challenging one for Australia. After a solid foundation at 139 for 3, with Steven Smith and Josh Inglis in control, the situation quickly changed as Australia collapsed to 155 for 7, courtesy of Rauf's fiery spell.
The situation got worse at 185 for 8 when Sean Abbott was run out, nearly taking Cummins with him. But, the skipper stood his ground and won the match for Australia.
In the second ODI, the visitors will look to level the series and seek revenge for their defeat in the first match.
