AUS in PAK, 3 ODIs, 2026 Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, Rawalpindi

42.3: Marnus Labuschagne to Arafat Minhas, SIX! Minhas finishes off in style. A dominant, all-round performance from the hosts, who outplayed Australia in every department. And the timing could not have been more perfect, as this victory comes in Pakistan's 1000th ODI, making it a lot more special. A pretty poetic end to the game, as Minhas picked up a five-for with the ball, and hit the winning runs as well, quite fittingly to end a very memorable ODI debut for him. Flatter, on off, Arafat Minhas stays in his crease, gets a bit crouched and powers it downtown and over long on for a biggie.

42.2: Marnus Labuschagne to Abdul Samad, A full toss, on off, Abdul Samad drills it to mid off. A misfield allows the batters to collect a single.

42.1: Marnus Labuschagne to Salman Agha, OUT! LBW! Marnus Labuschagne gets a wicket upon his return. He bowls it straight, targeting the stumps on a fuller length. Salman Agha gets low and looks to sweep it, but plays all over it and misses. The ball goes on to strike his pads. A loud appeal goes about for LBW, and the finger goes up almost instantly. Salman Agha does not bother to refer to this one as it looks dead straight. He walks back with Pakistan needing just 6 runs to win.

41.6: Matt Renshaw to Arafat Minhas, FOUR! Spoils the over! Matt Renshaw errs his line down leg, Arafat Minhas gets low and sweeps it past short fine leg for a boundary. Just 6 runs needed now.

41.5: Matt Renshaw to Arafat Minhas, Quicker, on off, Arafat Minhas eases it to the right of the bowler.

41.4: Matt Renshaw to Arafat Minhas, Slows it up, on leg, Arafat Minhas blocks it to the left of the bowler.

41.3: Matt Renshaw to Arafat Minhas, Fired in, on leg, Arafat Minhas blocks it to the on side.

41.2: Matt Renshaw to Arafat Minhas, Too full, on off, Arafat Minhas digs it back to the bowler.

41.1: Matt Renshaw to Arafat Minhas, Nice and full, on leg, Arafat Minhas flicks it towards the mid-wicket fielder.

40.6: Nathan Ellis to Salman Agha, Hard length, on middle, Salman Agha flicks it to mid-wicket.

40.5: Nathan Ellis to Salman Agha, That would have been close if Josh Inglis had collected the ball cleanly. Hard length, on middle and leg, Salman Agha works it through mid-wicket and calls for two. Salman is struggling to get back for the second and seeing that, the fielder throws it towards Josh Inglis, who fails to collect the ball and dislodges the stumps with his gloves. 

40.4: Nathan Ellis to Salman Agha, FOUR! Beautiful shot to get off the mark! Nathan Ellis goes full, on middle and leg, Salman Agha leans on and flicks it in the gap through mid-wicket for a boundary.

40.3: Nathan Ellis to Ghazi Ghori, OUT! LBW! Ellis has his second wicket, which ends Ghazi's excellent knock. He is gutted that he couldn't get the job done for his team. A slower one, on a length, on leg, and it keeps low. Ghazi Ghori stays back and looks to pull it, but is months early and misses to connect, wearing it on his pads. The Aussies appeal as one for LBW and the finger goes up straightaway. Ghazi Ghori goes upstairs to have a check. UltraEdge shows a flat line, and Ball Tracking shows three reds with the ball crashing into the leg stump. The on-field decision stands. Pakistan are 185/4, and they just need 16 runs now.

40.2: Nathan Ellis to Arafat Minhas, Back of a length, on off, Arafat Minhas punches it to point for a single.

40.1: Nathan Ellis to Arafat Minhas, FOUR! Arafat Minhas looks in a hurry now! Good length, just outside off, Arafat Minhas stays back and pumps it over the left of the bowler for a boundary down the ground.
