Edged in Melbourne by just two wickets in a highly competitive match on Monday, Pakistan thrashed Australia in Adelaide on Friday by nine wickets in a remarkably one-sided match.

With Haris Rauf proving brilliant with the ball and Pakistan’s top order smashing Australia’s highly-vaunted attack for 10 sixes, the visitors secured their first ODI win down under since 2017 with more than 23 overs remaining.

With Australia set to rest premier pace trio Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc for the decider in Perth on Sunday, Pakistan is well-placed to pull off a surprise away triumph.

“It wasn’t one of our best days,” Cummins said during the post-match presentation.

“Today was right up there as one of our worst unfortunately.”

Western Australian Josh Inglis will be given the chance to captain his nation for the first time on home soil, with former World Cup winner Mark Waugh noting he has a significant task.

“It is very, very exciting and challenging times for Josh Inglis. He will have plenty on his plate keeping and batting, (along) with the captaincy,” Waugh said.

“It is the best view in the house to move the field when you have the gloves on.”

As it stands, an ODI winning streak that began in India in October last year in the World Cup is in tatters after an astonishing performance from Pakistan with both the bat and the ball.

Haris Rauf was outstanding again, while Pakistan openers Saim Ayub and Abdullah Shafique routed the Australian attack when showing what was possible on the pitch with the bat.

And as the Australians walked from Adelaide Oval on Friday night with darkness still to fall, they had reason to appear shell shocked at a lovely afternoon in the sunshine gone wrong.

With Steve Smith hinting at finding peak form and Josh Inglis’s scoring chart forming a full 360 circle, a score of more than 300 looked plausible as Australia coasted at 2-79.

Enter Rauf, the wrecker, in the 13th over.

The Pakistan paceman, whose deeds with the Melbourne Stars have made him a BBL favourite, is no stranger to performing in Australia and set about putting the winning streak to the sword with a superb spell of bowling.

In commentary, former World Cup winner Mark Waugh pondered whether the Australians lost concentration by thinking too far ahead about what sort of tally to set, noting they have now batted poorly in two successive matches.

“Maybe Australia thought it was a 280 pitch and just relaxed a bit. All of a sudden, you are in a bit of a hole,” Waugh said.

That is an understatement, for Australia soon found itself in a deep well with few prospects of finding a way out as the man of the match Rauf set about ruining the streak.

Having given Pakistan a shot at clinching the first match of the series at the MCG on Melbourne Cup eve with a similarly superb performance, Rauf removed the Australian batsmen from Nos 4 through to 8 in a match-winning performance.

The 31-year-old’s rhythm and variety proved too good for Australia’s middle-order, which wobbled badly after Inglis fell for 18 when edging Rauf to Pakistan’s wicketkeeper and captain Mohammad Rizwan. And Rauf and Rizwan were the difference.

It sparked a steady trickle of wickets as Australia’s hopes of extending a winning streak dating back to the World Cup triumph were extinguished.

For the second match in succession, Rauf snared Marnus Labuschagne (6 from 11) edging.

Smith enjoyed an early chance before settling but, after surviving an LBW review that would have seen him lose his wicket had he initially been given out, was out the next ball when edging Mohammad Hasnain to Rizwan in the 20th over.

Aaron Hardie, who made 14 from 29 balls, became the third Australian to fall to the Rauf and Rizwan combination five overs later before Glenn Maxwell dragged the paceman onto his stumps when trying to pull two overs later to fall for 16.

Australian skipper Pat Cummins proved the hero with the bat at the MCG four nights prior when guiding his side to a two wicket win and was tasked with another late rally.

He flat-batted a superb six early in his innings but there would be no repeat of his deeds at the MCG, with Rauf snaring a fifth for the day when securing an edge to Rizwan.

With Cummins out for 13, only Adam Zampa offered any resistance among the bowlers with 18 as the Australians were bowled out for 163 with 15 overs remaining.

Australia’s vaunted attack was rendered toothless by Ayub and Shafique, who fought hard initially against Starc and Hazlewood and then attacked Zampa with verve later in the piece.

The target did not give the Australians wriggle room. But it is a rare outing where none of the trio threaten, let alone take a wicket, as proved the case on Adelaide Oval.

All three were struck for six in their outings. Zampa, who secured the sole wicket of Ayub for an enterprising 82 from 71 balls, was also blasted for four sixes.

Shafique finished unbeaten on 64 runs from 69 balls, while Babar Azam was not out on 15, having secured the win with a six.

Ayub, who equalled the best effort by a Pakistan batter in Australia with half-a-dozen sixes, said he focused on the ball and not the champions tasked with claiming his scalp.

“The most important thing was that the team won. This performance, we planned to be positive and not think about the result,” he said.

“When they were bowling, (I watched) the ball coming out of the hand, not any other thing. It is about watching the ball and being positive and trusting myself. I’ll try to keep doing that.”

Waugh was full of praise for Ayub, who was on seven from 27 deliveries before accelerating, when commentating on Fox Cricket.

“He has put on a clinic with some clean hitting. This is a demolition job,” Waugh said.

“It is amazing what a bit of confidence does. They are just in the zone … and backing their instincts.

“He is a talent, Ayub. A real talent. You forget he is only 22. He has his whole career ahead of him.”
