Prepare for the upcoming match between Australia and Pakistan AUS vs PAK at the renowned Melbourne Cricket Ground. It is the second Test of Pakistan’s tour of Australia in 2023. Australia won the first Test match with a dominant margin of 360 runs, and they currently lead the three-match series 1-0.
Australia decided to bat after winning the toss in the first Test match, amassing a respectable 487 runs in their opening innings. Australia’s supremacy was cemented by Mitchell Marsh’s vital 90 runs, which helped to bolster David Warner’s magnificent 164-run innings at the top of the order. Pakistan found some resistance thanks to the six wickets taken by Aamer Jamal and the two wickets taken by Khurram Shahzad. Pakistan scored 271 runs in their opening innings to counter Australia’s impressive total. A hint of consistency in the top order was demonstrated by Abdullah Shafique’s 42 and Imam-ul-Haq’s 62 runs. Nonetheless, Pakistan was limited by the Australian bowling attack, which was led by Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, and Nathan Lyon.
Australia had a big advantage going into their second innings, which they declared after scoring 233 runs at the expense of five wickets. Australia progressed thanks to Mitchell Marsh’s aggressive 63-run effort and Usman Khawaja’s tenacious 90 runs, even after David Warner was dismissed early. Australia’s attack was curbed by Khurram Shahzad of Pakistan, who claimed three wickets. In the fourth innings, Pakistan found it difficult to match Australia’s bowling power. They gave in to the strain and were bowled out for only 89 runs. Australia won by a huge 360 runs, with Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc causing havoc and taking three vital wickets apiece. Saud Shakeel’s 24 runs were the sole noteworthy contribution.
