Rauf also came up with a knock from his side, picking up two wickets within his first five overs. Pakistan pacers looked unplayable and Naseem Shah also took two wickets.

On the other hand, Shaheen Afridi and Mohammad Hasnain took a wicket each.

Haris got the better of Maxwell thrice in the ongoing three-match series as he dismissed him for 0 for the second time.

The occurrence occurred in the 18th over when Maxwell came out to bat after Matthew Short’s dismissal. He got his innings ended on just the second delivery he faced.
