... The Run Chase ...

Heading into the second innings, Australia must bowl with precision to counter Pakistan’s capable batting lineup. Adelaide Oval’s pitch has offered some assistance to both pace and spin, which Australia’s experienced bowlers will look to capitalize on and take early wickets. 164 is a modest target and Pakistan should level up the series but will need to be positive with the bat. Let's see how the run chase pans out. Join us in a bit to find out.

Pakistan's bowling attack was spearheaded by Haris Rauf, who had an outstanding performance, taking 5 wickets for just 29 runs in his 8 overs. Shaheen Afridi and Mohammad Hasnain also made important contributions, claiming 3 and 1 wicket individually. Naseem Shah also chipped in with 1 wicket but was on the expensive side, finishing with 1/65 in his quota of 10 overs. The collective effort from Pakistan's bowlers was crucial in stifling Australia's scoring rate and reducing them to a low total.

Pakistan's bowlers dominated, keeping Australia under pressure throughout. As for Australia's batting, the most significant contributions came from Steven Smith, who top-scored with 35 runs off 48 balls. Josh Inglis and Matthew Short added 18 runs, and 19 runs respectively but their stays at the crease were brief. Glenn Maxwell (16 off 21) and Aaron Hardie (14 off 29) tried to fight back, but both were dismissed cheaply, leaving captain Pat Cummins a lot to do. Adam Zampa did play a handy knock to get them over the 150-run mark. The middle and lower order failed to get going, leading to Australia's downfall. The team never seemed to settle, with Pakistan's bowlers consistently finding the right lengths and keeping Australia under control.

Outstanding from Pakistan! Their bowlers have done half their job and they are in pole position to level the series. Australia have been outplayed here in the first innings and have been bowled out with a fair chunk of overs to go. They found themselves in a difficult position after being put into bat. They were bowled out for 163 just in 35 overs, largely due to disciplined bowling from Pakistan. Australia began solidly but were unable to build any substantial partnerships, falling victim to regular wickets.

Shaheen Afridi to Adam Zampa, OUT! DRAGGED ON! That's it, its all over and Shaheen Afridi ends with three wickets.

Zampa departs after a handy knock of 18 off 21 and Australia are bundled out for just 163 runs.
