In view of their early difficulties at 47/4, this is a remarkable accomplishment. With the new ball, Australia's pace trio of Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, and Mitchell Starc proved effective, dismissing both of the Ducks' openers. Especially Cummins showed off his skills by quickly getting rid of important batsmen like Shaud Shakeel and Babar Azam. Despite having a head start, Captain Shan Masood was unable to build on it. The Australian attack was then repelled by Rizwan and Salman, who put together a vital 94-run stand. However, Australia was frustrated by the tenacity of Jamal and Hamza, who batted at the last wicket. The latter, who produced a few useful boundaries, kept the scoreboard moving until losing to Lyon for 82.
