Pakistan Vs Australia Live Cricket Score - Live Cricket Score, 1st ODI - Full Scorecard

Abrar Ahmed to Alex Carey, OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! The change to bring in a spinner in the Powerplay has done wonders for Pakistan. Abrar Ahmed goes with the googly, pitches it a touch fuller, offering a bit off flight, just outside off. Alex Carey gets on his front foot and tries to push at it, but it takes the outside edge of the willow and goes flat and low toward the first slip fielder. It's Salman Agha who stays low and grabs the catch above his shoelaces. Australia lose their first wicket now.

Arafat Minhas to Matthew Short, OUT! STUMPED! A moment of brilliance from Arafat and he breaks the 55-run partnership. Minhas floats this one into the batter and gets it to turn away sharply from off, on a length. Matthew Short cannot hold his temptation and jumps out of the crease and tries to work it downtown, but the ball spins almost square, beating the outside edge. Ghazi Ghori collects the ball cleanly behind the stumps and dislodges the bails in a flash, with Short left wandering out of the crease. Australia are 123/5 as Short walks back after a brilliant half-century.

Arafat Minhas to Josh Inglis, OUT! LBW! A big, big moment for the debutant as he has his maiden ODI wicket. Full and straight, fired hard into the stumps. Inglis sets up for the reverse sweep but misses it completely as the ball keeps sliding down with the arm, and Inglis is struck on the front pad. Confident appeal for LBW from the hosts, and up goes the finger. Inglis walks to have a chat with Short and goes for a review. Looks dead straight, though. UltraEdges detects nothing when the ball is next to the bat or the glove. Ball Tracking comes up with three reds, with the ball projected to crash into the leg stump. Inglis has to walk back and Australia are 62/2.

Arafat Minhas to Marnus Labuschagne, OUT! LBW! A double whammy for Arafat and his debut just keeps getting better and better now. Length ball and sliding onto the pads. Marnus hangs back and looks to punch it through the covers, but the angle does him completely and he misses. He is struck right on the front pad. An appeal for LBW, and the umpire's finger goes up without a moment's hesitation. Marnus turns to Short for some reassurance but gets nothing back. He has to make the long walk back. From 62/1, Australia slip to 62/3.

Arafat Minhas to Cameron Green, OUT! BOWLED'EM! Completely outfoxed and Arafat has his third wicket already. Shorter this time, angling into the middle stump. Green goes deep inside the crease and is squared up on the back foot as the ball grips and turns away sharply. He hangs his bat tentatively to block, but gets beaten on the outside edge comprehensively, and the ball crashes into the top of the off stump. From 62/1, Australia further slide down to 68/4.

Abrar Ahmed to Matt Renshaw, OUT! OUTFOXED! An absolute ripper from Abrar and he is pumped up. Second wicket for him and he has a cold stare at the batter as well. Comes from around the stump and lands it wide outside off. It is the conventional leg break on a shorter length, and it spins sharply back in, staying pretty low and skidding through the deck. Matt Renshaw hangs deep in the crease and tries to knife it through the off side, but plays over the wrong line and is beaten by the lack of bounce as well. The ball beats the inside edge before rattling the timber behind. Matt Renshaw departs after a lengthy, watchful knock and Australia are 179/7, after 38.1 overs.

Salman Agha to Oliver Peake, OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Salman Agha strikes now. He bowls this flatter and shorer, just around off. Oliver Peake moves back and tries to cut it away but fails to control the shot due to the extra bounce. He only manages to get a thin outside edge behind, where Ghazi Ghori takes a sharp catch near his waist. Not the ideal debut for Peake, and Australia are 145/6 now.

Haris Rauf to Matthew Kuhnemann, OUT! TAKEN! Haris Rauf wraps things up here. Australia have been bowled out for exactly 200. Rauf comes around the wicket, serves this full at 123.1 kph, cleverly changing the pace of the ball, and angles it into the leg side as well. Matthew Kuhnemann backs away and tries to play at it with hard hands, but gets completely deceived by the lack of pace. He ends up just chipping it in the air, and Babar Azam from short mid-wicket runs to his right to take a dolly.

Arafat Minhas to Nathan Ellis, OUT! BOWLED! And that's the five-for for Arafat Minhas. According to the on-air commentators, he becomes the first-ever Pakistani male bowler to pick up a five-wicket haul on his ODI debut. Keeps it stump-to-stump again, a touch shorter this time and around off. The ball skids through quickly off the deck. Ellis backs away to cut but is rushed by the pace, the ball beats the angled bat as the ball crashes into the off stump. A dream debut for the left-arm spinner, one to cherish forever. All the wickets so far have fallen to spin and Australia are 199/8.

Shaheen Afridi to Tanveer Sangha, OUT! BOWLED'EM! You miss, I hit says Shaheen Afridi. He goes much fuller and on off at 135.2 kph, tails away a bit this time. Tanveer Sangha looks to drive it away, but plays all over it due to the late movement as the ball goes through to rattle into the base of the off pole. First wicket for the Pakistani skipper and Australia are 200/9 now.

Tanveer Sangha to Sahibzada Farhan, OUT! HIGH UP AND CAUGHT! A needless throw of a wicket as Sahibzada bites the dust. Sangha lands it in front of the middle stump and gets it to dip and turn away. Sahibzada Farhan couldn't hold his temptation to smash it out of the park. He backs away to give himself some room, but cannot get under the ball properly. Goes through the shot but the bat twists at the point of contact and he sails it only as far as long off, where Matthew Short runs to his right and takes a simple catch in front of his face with a reverse cup. Pakistan are 49/2, needing 152 more runs.

Matthew Kuhnemann to Maaz Sadaqat, OUT! TAKEN! Brilliant effort from Matthew Short. They make these catches look so easy these days. Fired in, on middle, at 91.6 kph. Maaz Sadaqat gets down on one knee and looks to slog it, but doesn't get the much-needed elevation. The ball carries towards deep mid-wicket. Matthew Short keeps his composure near the fence. He takes the catch, loses his balance as he throws the ball in the air. He comes back in and completes the catch. The third umpire is brought in to check the legality of the catch and after checking a couple of angles, it is deemed a clean catch. Maaz Sadaqat makes his way back into the shed. The opening pair of Pakistan lasts for 25 runs.

Nathan Ellis to Babar Azam, OUT! CASTLED! Nathan Ellis strikes but that won't matter much here. He bowls the off-cutter, lands this on a good length around off, and gets it to nip back in very sharply, but the ball keeps very low. Babar Azam gets stuck in his crease and looks to cut it away, but gets cramped for room and misses it, and the ball goes through to rattle the stumps. Babar is undone by the lack of bounce and has a smile on his face, but has to walk back after playing a fine knock for his country. Pakistan are 176/3, needing just 25 more runs to win.

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.

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.
