Australia 248/9 (50 ov) – http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 won the toss and chose to bat
In the second match of the ongoing three-match One Day International (ODI) series between Pakistan and Australia, the Aussies after choosing to bat first have managed to amass a total of 248 for the loss of nine wickets in 50 overs, at http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Imtiaz-Sheikh-c64290 Zayed Stadium, Abu Dhabi.
Leading the series by 1-0, Australia can wrap-up the tournament by winning today’s match and with a decent total to chase, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 would need to put in some extra effort to level the series.
Earlier, Australia failed to get off to a flier, losing their first wicket with only eight runs on the board, as Pakistan’s http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Junaid-Khan-c77037 drew first blood by nabbing the wicket of MS Wade in the second over of the day.
With the opener back in the pavilion, it was time for the Aussie skipper, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MJ-Clarke-c1978, to take guard.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Saeed-Ajmal-c87859 opened his account by trapping Warner right in front of stumps on a score of 24.
With the hard-hitting Warner out, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MEK-Hussey-c1942 took the field, aiming to forge a daunting partnership alongside his skipper.
Pakistan knew that this was Australia’s most dangerous duo and in order to prevent the Aussies from getting carried away with things, the Greens needed to break the partnership as soon as possible.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Mohammad-Hafeez-c76898 did the trick for Misbah XI, as he trapped the Australian skipper right in front of stumps on a score of 37. At the time of this wicket, the Aussies had piled 86 runs on the board.
A run later, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DJ-Hussey-c1380, fell in front of Ajmal without scoring, creating panic in the Australian camp.
Nonetheless, his brother was given commendable support by GJ Bailey, as the duo raced the total to 153 before Bailey fell after clobbering a knock of 39.
Meanwhile, Hussey played a staggering role in helping his side reach a decent total, as he pounded an innings of 61 before losing his stumps to Ajmal.
From Pakistan, Saeed Ajmal was the best bowler with four wickets to his name, backed by Junaid Khan, who dismissed three batsmen.
