| 4.2 : 4.2: M Amir to T Head, FOUR! Length ball outside off, Head has hammered that through the cover region for a superbly driven boundary. |
| 5.4 : 5.4: J Khan to T Head, FOUR! LENGTH AND DRIVEN! Length ball into the stumps, Head elegantly drives it straight down the ground for a boundary through the mid on region. |
| 6.3 : 6.3: M Amir to D Warner, FOUR! Angling into the pads, Warner clips it through the fielder at short third man region for a boundary. |
| 7.1 : 7.1: J Khan to D Warner, FOUR! GREAT START TO THE OVER! Length ball outside off, Warner lofts it over the cover region for a boundary. |
| 8.4 : 8.4: M Amir to T Head, FOUR! Too full, too straight and Head puts this away. On the pads, Travis flicks it through the square leg region for a boundary. |
| 9.4: H Ali to D Warner, FOUR! Stand and deliver stuff from David Warner. He just murders it over the mid off region and sends it across the rope for a boundary. |
| 9.5 : 9.5: H Ali to D Warner, FOUR! And it continues. Warner doesn't waste any time, does he? Always on the prowl. He gets to the pitch of the ball and lofts it over mid off again for consecutive boundaries. |
| 10.6 : 10.6: M Hafeez to D Warner, FOUR! Short, flat and outside off, Warner hangs back and cuts it through the covers for a boundary. Super shot, brings up his fifty in no time. He's a proper destroyer. |
| 11.6: H Ali to D Warner, FOUR! David Warner is a monster! There's no stopping this guy, is there? What a hit! Fuller delivery around off, Davey boinks it over mid off once more. It falls just inside the rope and he picks up a one bounce boundary. |
| 17.3 : 17.3: W Riaz to D Warner, FOUR! That's hit really hard and the placement is exceptional from David Warner. He leans ahead to this extremely full ball and crashes it through the covers. It rockets away to the fence for a boundary. |
| 18.2 : 18.2: M Hafeez to D Warner, SIX! BOOM! First six of the innings. Premeditated from David Warner. He kneels down to this tossed up delivery and slog sweeps it over the mid-wicket boundary for a maximum. |
| 18.6 : 18.6: M Hafeez to D Warner, SIX! He's sent that sailing into the stands. Take a bow, Davey Warner! He makes great use of his feet and launches it over the cover fence for another biggie. |
| 20.4 : 20.4: H Ali to D Warner, FOUR! DELIGHTFUL! Make no mistake, that was a difficult shot to play. But he made it look so easy. Short and angling across, Warner gets on top of the bounce and pulls it behind square on the leg side. Beats the short fine leg fielder as the ball races away to the boundary line. |
| 21.1 : 21.1: J Khan to D Warner, FOUR! WIDTH AND PUNISHED! Back of a length delivery just outside, Warner just slashes it through the point region for a boundary. There are no stopping these. |
| 23.6 : 23.6: J Khan to T Head, FOUR! DRIVEN! Length ball on the stumps, Head gets into the action after sometime as he drives it a bit uppishly through the mid on region for a elegant boundary. That was whacked. |
| 26.4 : 26.4: S Malik to T Head, FOUR! Short delivery on the stumps, Head finds an impressive way to reach to his fifty with a pull through the mid-wicket boundary. Head is playing the second fiddle and has managed to get his 5th ODI fifty. |
| 26.6 : 26.6: S Malik to D Warner, FOUR! Sprayed on the pads, Warner sits and slogs it neatly through the fine leg boundary. Warner is bringing all his shots into play now. |
| 27.2 : 27.2: M Amir to T Head, FOUR! Back of a length delivery outside off, Head cuts it beautifully through the cover region. Bad fielding at the fence gets him an easy boundary. Pakistan are back to normal on the field. |
| 27.4 : 27.4: M Amir to T Head, SIX! CLEAN AS A WHISTLE! Good length delivery angling into the stumps, Head just hoists it over the mid-wicket region for a biggie. Seemed like Warner for a moment but his partner is now in the act. |
| 28.2 : 28.2: S Malik to D Warner, FOUR! DAVEY SPECIAL! Tossed up on the stumps, Warner gets his broom out but in the reverse direction through the point region for a single. He seems to be towing with the field now. |
| 28.3 : 28.3: S Malik to D Warner, FOUR! EASY PICKINGS! Tossed up, Warner reads the length early as he sweeps it over the mid on fielder for a boundary. Is there any shot Warner cannot play? |
| 29.4 : 29.4: M Amir to T Head, FOUR! BRILLIANT! Good length delivery into the pads, Head flicks it elegantly through the mid-wicket region for a boundary. They seem to up the ante now. |
| 30.3 : 30.3: H Ali to D Warner, FOUR! WHACKED! Short and just outside off, Warner has smoked that one as he pulls it through the mid-wicket region for a boundary. 200 up for Pakistan. |
| 34.2 : 34.2: H Ali to D Warner, FOUR! That's a well controlled shot. Davey Warner continues with his onslaught. On the fuller side once more, he lofts it over extra cover and sends it across the fence for a boundary. |
| 34.3 : 34.3: H Ali to D Warner, SIX! Pakistan just don't know where to bowl to him. He's just putting everything away. Short on middle and leg, Warner pulls it hard over backward square leg for a maximum. |
| 34.4 : 34.4: H Ali to D Warner, FOUR! My word... Another boundary. The Aussies are absolutely dominating proceedings here. Full and wide outside off, slanting across, Warner smacks it powerfully through the cover region for another boundary. |
| 37.1 : 37.1: H Ali to D Warner, FOUR! TOP SHOT! Full delivery on the pads, Warner clips it over the fielder at mid-wicket for a boundary. He makes it look so simple. |
| 37.6 : 37.6: H Ali to D Warner, SIX! DISPATCHED! Short delivery into the body, Warner has pulled that brilliantly over the square leg region for a maximum. That's just looking easy for Warner. Highest partnership for Australia in ODIs. |
| 38.2 : 38.2: M Hafeez to T Head, FOUR! Short again and Head won't miss those freebies as he pulls it through the deep mid-wicket region for a boundary. The fielder tries to cut it off but could not stop it. |
| 40.3 : 40.3: M Hafeez to D Warner, SIX! BANG! That's gone a long, long way. Tossed up outside off, David Warner gets low and smokes it over the cover region. Clears the fence with ease and sends it sailing miles into the stands for a maximum. He cramped up a bit after the shot and understandably why, but he seems fine to continue. |
| 41.1 : 41.1: J Khan to D Warner, FOUR! High full toss outside off, David Warner slices this square through point and gets another boundary to his name. There's nobody out in the deep so no chance of stopping that. This is now David Warner's highest score in ODIs. |
| 41.3 : 41.3: J Khan to D Warner, OUT! A rather anti-climatic end to David Warner's majestic knock, at least in terms of emotions flying about. Short and outside off, Warner cuts it away. It's in the air and Babar Azam at point gets low to take it. The umpires just want to make sure if the catch is taken cleanly or not and replays show that he has. David Warner walks off to a standing ovation from the Adelaide crowd, raises his bat to acknowledge their support and walks off a hero. Deservingly so. He's |
| 41.4 : 41.4: J Khan to S Smith, FOUR! Full delivery spared across, Steven Smith leans into the drive and creams it through the covers to get off the mark with a boundary. |
| 41.5 : 41.5: J Khan to S Smith, OUT! STEVEN SMITH DEPARTS! Banged in short, Smith clears his front leg, makes room and swings his bat wildly at this. Gets a big top edge which flies over mid-wicket. Wahab Riaz runs to his right and dives forward to catch it. He holds on to it but his right knee gets stuck in the turf and he's on the floor in considerable pain. Looks nasty from here itself. Smith walks back but all eyes are on Wahab Riaz. Hope he's fine. |
| 42.2 : 42.2: M Amir to T Head, SIX! That was right in Travis Head's arc and he punished it duly. Short delivery on middle and off, the southpaw camps back, gets into position early and muscles the pull over the mid-wicket boundary for half a dozen. Seen him do that many times. |
| 43.2: W Riaz to G Maxwell, SIX! Width on offer and Maxwell has thrown his bat at that. With all his might, he slices this over point for one of the flattest sixes in recent memory. |
| 43.4 : 43.4: W Riaz to T Head, FOUR! Full and attacking the stumps, Travis Head just swings his bat wildly at that. Didn't go where he intended it to but he'll take it nonetheless. Clears mid off and that'll be a boundary. |
| 43.6 : 43.6: W Riaz to G Maxwell, FOUR! Walks across a long way to this length ball and pulls it fine down the leg side, beating the fielder inside the circle. Boundary to end the over. |
| 44.5 : 44.5: M Amir to G Maxwell, OUT! The Big Show is gone! Similar delivery well outside off, Maxwell goes aerial over covers. Mohammad Hafeez out in the deep gets under the ball and takes a good catch. Maxwell departs and that's another wicket down. |
| 45.2 : 45.2: W Riaz to M Wade, FOUR! Beautiful shot. Fullish in length outside off, Matthew Wade drives it crisply through extra cover and sends it all the way for a boundary. Neatly done. |
| 46.2: H Ali to M Wade, OUT! Good catch from Shoaib Malik. One of Pakistan's better fielders. Full and shaping away from around off, Matthew Wade just throws his bat at this. Gets a big, big edge which skies over the covers. Malik out in the deep settles himself under the ball and takes it in his safe hands. |
| 46.3 : 46.3: H Ali to T Head, SIX! THAT'S A BIG, BIG HIT! Travis Head has sent that a long, long way. That was tonked. Fuller length ball which is right in the slot, Travis Head gets low and slogs it high and mighty over the mid-wicket fence for a biggie. |
| 46.4 : 46.4: H Ali to T Head, OUT! HEAD DEPARTS! But not before playing a superb knock. Fuller and going across, Head looks to slog this across the line. He gets a huge top edge and it balloons towards Azhar Ali at long off. The Pakistan skipper fumbles initially but then to his teammates content, somehow manages to hold on it. |
| 47.4: W Riaz to J Faulkner, FOUR! Pounded in short around off, James drags the pull through square leg. Hafeez runs to his right in the deep and puts in a sloppy dive to try and save it but cannot do so. He isn't sure whether the ball touched the ropes so asks the umpire to refer it upstairs. Replays confirm it's a clear boundary. |
| 47.6 : 47.6: W Riaz to P Handscomb, OUT! Handscomb is dismissed in search of a big shot. He receives a short ball as he pulls it aerially over square leg. Can't get the distance on it though and it's taken comfortably by Hafeez just inside the rope. |
| 48.2 : 48.2: H Ali to J Faulkner, FOUR! Shot. Fuller outside off, James Faulkner gets big on the ball and pummels it through the gap in the cover region for a boundary. There was a man out in the deep but he had no chance of stopping that one. |
| 49.4 : 49.4: M Amir to M Starc, OUT! Fuller ball around off, Starc drags it off the inner half through mid-wicket. Wants the second since it's the last over and takes the throw on from the fielder in the deep. Rizwan receives the ball and whips the bails off. Replays show Starc is gone. |
| 2.3 : 2.3: M Starc to A Ali, FOUR! Full and wide outside off, Ali somehow manages to put bat to it as he drives it past the point region for a boundary. |
| 2.4 : 2.4: M Starc to A Ali, OUT! STARC STRIKES! Azhar was looking vulnerable since the first ball and his short term in the middle comes to an end. Inswinging full delivery into the pads, Ali cannot get his bat down in time and the ball hits his pads. The players appeal and it's plumb says the umpire as he is fast to raise his finger up. |
| 3.6 : 3.6: J Hazlewood to S Khan, FOUR! WIDTH AND DRIVEN! Length ball outside off, Sharjeel drives it through the cover region for a boundary. |
| 6.2 : 6.2: M Starc to S Khan, FOUR! Short into the body, Sharjeel short arm jabs it towards the mid-wicket region. That's another boundary for the southpaw. |
| 7.2: J Hazlewood to S Khan, FOUR! TOP SHOT! Length ball outside off, Sharjeel just follows his drive with his big bat lift as the ball races away through the cover region for a boundary. |
| 7.4 : 7.4: J Hazlewood to S Khan, FOUR! Width on offer and Sharjeel punishes him. Short outside off, Sharjeel whacks it past point for a boundary. |
| 9.6 : 9.6: J Faulkner to S Khan, FOUR! STAND AND DELIVER! Fuller on the stumps, Sharjeel stays in his crease and just flicks it with power over the mid-wicket region. This man has power in his hands. |
| 11.3 : 11.3: J Faulkner to B Azam, FOUR! SUBLIME! Back of a length delivery outside off, Azam cuts it through the cover region to elegantly get a boundary through the off side. |
| 11.6 : 11.6: J Faulkner to S Khan, FOUR! Short into the stumps, Khan pulls it through the square leg region for a boundary. Unorthodox but effective. |
| 12.1 : 12.1: Pat Cummins to B Azam, FOUR! He alerts all the photographers with that elegant drive. Full delivery on the stumps, Azam drives it straight down the ground for a boundary through the mid on region. Maybe the best shot of this innings. |
| 14.4 : 14.4: Pat Cummins to S Khan, FOUR! Just a tad bit outside off, on a good length, Sharjeel punches it through the point region for a boundary. He has his own book of shots. |
| 15.5 : 15.5: A Zampa to S Khan, In the air...Safe! Just over the top this time as Sharjeel lofts it over the mid off fielder. Hazlewood at mid off jumps but cannot get it and the ball races away towards the boundary. |
| 18.3 : 18.3: T Head to S Khan, FOUR! Flat, short and coming in with the arm, Sharjeel rocks back and muscles the pull over mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 21.1 : 21.1: A Zampa to S Khan, SIX! THAT'S GONE INTO SPACE! Tossed up and Sharjeel has picked the bones out of it and thrown it in the stands. He has just hoisted that over the mid-wicket region for a maximum. Top shot. |
| 21.6 : 21.6: A Zampa to S Khan, SIX! GONE THE DISTANCE! Tossed up on the stumps, Sharjeel removes his front leg out of his way and bangs it over the mid-wicket region for half a dozen. That ball was a six from the moment it left the bat. |
| 24.4 : 24.4: M Starc to S Khan, OUT! That's gone high in the air and Sharjeel Khan is out of here! Matthew Wade takes an excellent catch. Mitchell Starc gets the breakthrough, as he has done so often for Australia over the years. Banged in short on middle and off, Khan rocks back and goes for the big pull but gets a big top edge. It skies towards short fine leg where Wade runs under it and takes it in his gloves. That's a big wicket and the 130-run stand it finally broken. |
| 26.3 : 26.3: M Starc to M Hafeez, OUT! Edged and taken! Bringing the slip in place was genius captaincy. Starc uses the angle well, bowls it across Mohammad Hafeez, on a back of a length, The Professor hangs his bat out to it and gets a healthy edge. Easily taken by Steven Smith at first slip. Pakistan lose another wicket. |
| 27.1 : 27.1: A Zampa to B Azam, FOUR! Great shot by Babar Azam. Adjusts his body well, opens it up a bit and goes inside out. Lofts it over covers and beats the fielder out in the deep. Boundary to start the over. |
| 28.1: M Starc to B Azam, FOUR! That's poor. Not what you'd expect from the Aussie players. Length ball outside off, Azam drives it a bit square through cover-point. Handscomb runs to his left from sweeper cover, gets low to collect it but lets it go through his palms. Probably a slight lapse in concentration. |
| 29.3 : 29.3: J Hazlewood to B Azam, SIX! SHOT! Babar Azam picked up the length early and dispatched that. Fuller in length, he stands his ground and slogs it over wide long on for a biggie. He's the set batsman, somebody has to take the risks now. |
| 33.6 : 33.6: J Faulkner to U Akmal, FOUR! Too straight and it's put away, Akmal tucks it behind square on the leg side and ends the over with a boundary. |
| 35.3 : 35.3: J Faulkner to B Azam, FOUR! Short and wide outside off, Babar Azam cuts it past backward point and picks up a boundary. |
| 35.4 : 35.4: J Faulkner to B Azam, FOUR! Two in two for Babar! He gets this on the pads and he's happy as a duck. Flicks it through backward square leg for another boundary. |
| 35.5 : 35.5: J Faulkner to B Azam, FOUR! Make that three in a row! Babar Azam is powering towards a ton. Slower and fuller outside off, he squeezes it past point for another boundary. On 98 now. |
| 36.4 : 36.4: J Hazlewood to B Azam, OUT! Babar Azam departs! That's a big, big wicket for Australia. Fuller and slower on the stumps, Babar closes the face a little too early and gets a leading edge which lobs towards mid on. Travis Head is the man there and he takes the simplest of catches. A superb knock has come to an end. |
| 38.2 : 38.2: J Hazlewood to U Akmal, FOUR! Short and that's put away. Umar Akmal gets into position early and pulls it over the square leg region to send it across the fence. |
| 38.5 : 38.5: J Hazlewood to U Akmal, FOUR! Akmal is finding the boundary more frequently now. Full on leg, Umar picks it off his pads and chips it over wide mid on for the second boundary of the over. |
| 39.3 : 39.3: Pat Cummins to U Akmal, FOUR! LUCKY ONE! Length ball outside off, Akmal swings his bat wildly and the ball flies of the thick outside edge over the point region for a boundary. He was nowhere in control of that shot. |
| 39.6 : 39.6: Pat Cummins to M Rizwan, OUT! RIZWAN HAS TO WALK BACK! Back of a length delivery outside off, Rizwan cuts it uppishly towards third man. Starc who is fielding there dives forward for a sensational catch. He is not quite sure if he has gathered it cleanly or not. The umpires go upstairs to check the catch. Replays show that it was a clean catch and Starc has pulled off a spectacular catch. |
| 41.2 : 41.2: Pat Cummins to U Akmal, FOUR! SMOKED! Length delivery angling into the batsman, Akmal whacks it over the mid-wicket region for the boundary. Can Akmal pull out something special? |
| 41.3 : 41.3: Pat Cummins to U Akmal, FOUR! Wide outside off, Akmal throws his bat at it and the ball flies off the outside edge towards right off the keeper for a boundary. |
| 42.4 : 42.4: J Hazlewood to M Amir, FOUR! Full length delivery on the stumps, Amir makes room and whacks it over the cover region for a boundary. Amir gets into the act. |
| 42.6 : 42.6: J Hazlewood to M Amir, SIX! MASSIVE! Short delivery just outside off, Amir free his arms and slogs it over the mid-wicket region for a biggie. That would be a six on any ground. |
| 43.1 : 43.1: Pat Cummins to U Akmal, FOUR! Fuller outside off, Akmal drives it uppishly over the mid off fielder for a boundary. That was delightful to the eyes. |
| 43.3 : 43.3: Pat Cummins to U Akmal, OUT! THE AKMAL SHOW COMES TO AN END! Wide and full outside off, Akmal goes to reach at it and gets an outside edge. The ball goes straight in the hands of the keeper. Wade won't miss those. Is it over for Pakistan? |
| 44.4 : 44.4: J Faulkner to M Amir, OUT! Slower delivery which is bowled from back of his hand. Wahab stays deep and goes for a slog and the ball catches the top edge and balloons in the air. The ball goes straight to the fielder at covers for an easy catch. |
| 47.3 : 47.3: M Starc to W Riaz, FOUR! WHACKED! Fuller on the stumps, Riaz whacks it straight down the ground through mid off for a boundary. |
| 48.2 : 48.2: A Zampa to H Ali, SIX! FREE GIFTS! Full toss on the stumps and Ali has thrown his bat at it and slogs it over mid-wicket for a biggie. That's gone just over the ropes. A fielder tries to pull it in but it goes sailing over his head. |
| 48.6 : 48.6: A Zampa to H Ali, OUT! Tossed up and Ali comes down the track and goes for a slog. He is totally beaten by the spin and the ball goes straight to the keeper. Wade who was waiting for such an opportunity gathers the ball and rips the bails off. |
| 49.1 : 49.1: M Starc to W Riaz, OUT! CLEANED UP! Superb yorker, right on the money. Riaz cannot get his bat down in time as the ball sneaks through and rattles the timber. As Shoaib Malik won't come back to bat, it ends the Pakistan innings. AUSTRALIA WIN BY 57 RUNS. |
