Trailing by just two wickets in Melbourne in a highly competitive match on Monday, Pakistan beat 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 much-vaunted attack for 10 sixes, the visitors secured their first ODI win down under since 2017 with more than 23 overs to spare.

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

MATCHCENTRE: Australia vs Pakistan second ODI scorecard

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

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

West Australian Josh Inglis will get 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.

“These are 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’s the best view in the house to move the field when you have your gloves on.”

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

Haris Rauf was superb again while Pakistan openers Saim Ayub and Abdullah Shafique directed the Australian attack as they showed what was possible on the field with the bat.

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

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

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

The Pakistani paceman, whose exploits with the Melbourne Stars have made him a BBL favourite, is no stranger to featuring in Australia and sets about putting the winning streak to the sword with some superb bowling form.

In the comments, former World Cup winner Mark Waugh pondered whether the Aussies were losing focus by thinking too far ahead about what kind of target to set, noting that they have now batted poorly in two consecutive games.

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

That’s an understatement, as Australia quickly found themselves in a deep hole with little prospect of a way out as man-of-the-match Rauf set about ruining the streak.

After giving Pakistan a chance to win the first match of the series at the MCG on Melbourne Cup night with a similarly outstanding performance, Rauf removed the Australian batsmen from No.4 to 8 in a match-winning performance.

The 31-year-old’s pace and variety proved too good for Australia’s middle order, which faltered badly after Inglis fell for 18 when he took on Rauf for Pakistan wicketkeeper and captain Mohammad Rizwan. And Rauf and Rizwan were the difference.

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

For the second game in a row, Rauf Marnus Labuschagne (6 from 11) edged.

Smith had an early chance before settling, but after surviving an LBW run-through that would have seen him lose his wicket had he been given out initially, he was out the next ball when he put 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 pulled the paceman on his stumps as he tried to pull two overs later to fall for 16.

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

He hit a superb six early in his innings, but there would be no repeat of his exploits at the MCG, where Rauf bagged a fifth for the day as he secured 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 notorious attack was rendered toothless by Ayub and Shafique, who initially battled hard against Starc and Hazlewood and then attacked Zampa with gusto later in the play.

The goal didn’t bother the Australians. But it’s a rare outing where none of the trio threaten, let alone take a wicket, as proved the case at Adelaide Oval.

All three were hit for six in their outings. Zampa, who secured Ayub’s only wicket for a spirited 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, after securing victory with a six.

Ayub, who equaled the best effort by a Pakistani batsman 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 bowled, (I saw) the ball coming out of the hand, not anything else. It’s about seeing 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 punches. This is a demolition job,” Waugh said.

“It’s amazing what a little bit of confidence does. They’re just in the zone … backing their instincts.

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