Sean Abbott to Fakhar Zaman, FOUR! Delightful! Abbott bowls it full and outside off, Fakhar leans forward and caresses it through the gap at covers for a boundary. Two players dived but the ball sneaked through.

Sean Abbott to Fakhar Zaman, FOUR! Consecutive boundaries and this one is even better. Full and close to off, Fakhar Zaman presses forward and drives it crisply past mid off. The outfield is lightning quick and it races away to the fence. The crowd is making a lot of noise.

Cameron Green to Imam-ul-Haq, FOUR! Imam opens his account. Short and on middle, Imam-ul-Haq stands tall inside the crease and pulls it effortlessly over square leg for a boundary.

Cameron Green to Fakhar Zaman, FOUR! Gorgeous shot! Fuller in length and outside off, Fakhar transfers his weight into the drive, with lovely balance and creams it through the gap at extra cover for a boundary. Wow!

Sean Abbott to Fakhar Zaman, OUT! CAUGHT! A very important wicket for Australia. Just a bit of a dry spell mounted pressure and Fakhar Zaman, in a bid to find a boundary, falls. Clever change in pace from Abbott. He realizes that the batter is itching to get a boundary, so he slows it up at 128.8 kph and delivers it full and around middle and off. Fakhar Zaman shimmies down the track and tries to loft it over mid off but fails to get the desired elevation. A simple catch for Travis Head at the edge of the circle and Sean Abbott draws first blood.

6.3
Sean Abbott to Imam-ul-Haq, FOUR! Well placed by Imam! Short of a length, around leg. Imam gets low and pulls it behind square on the leg side. The fielder there dives to his left to stop the ball, but he fails to do so. A welcome boundary for Pakistan.

7.3
Nathan Ellis to Babar Azam, EDGED AND FOUR! Ellis serves a length ball, angling in from outside off. Babar Azam stays back and looks to punch it through covers. He gets cramped for room and the ball flies off the outside edge, past the keeper and races away to the fence.

Cameron Green to Babar Azam, FOUR! GLORIOUS! This is Babar Azam at his best! Green hurls a full ball, around off. Babar gets forward and drives it back past the bowler through mid on and bags a boundary. This shot might get him going.

11.2
Mitchell Swepson to Babar Azam, FOUR! Slapped away! This length will come with a leg spinner bowling. Short and wide outside off, Babar rocks back and whacks it to the deep point fence. 4000 ODI runs for Babar Azam - he is the second fastest to this mark, getting there in 82 innings after Hashim Amla (81).

Mitchell Swepson to Imam-ul-Haq, FOUR! A rare full toss, around middle. Imam-ul-Haq heaves it through the mid-wicket region for a boundary.

Adam Zampa to Babar Azam, FOUR! Nicely played! A flatter ball, slightly short and around off. Babar Azam stays back and guides it past Travis Head at short third man for a boundary. Head though gave it a chase but to no avail.

Travis Head to Babar Azam, FOUR! Nicely played! This is a full ball, well outside off. Babar carves it through the cover region. Ben McDermott in the deep tries his best to stop the ball by diving to his right but the ball wins. A much-needed boundary for Pakistan!

Mitchell Swepson to Babar Azam, OUT! LBW! Mitchell Swepson gets the big fish and this is a huge wicket in the context of the game! A very full ball, around leg and spinning towards middle. Babar Azam looks to sweep but he misses and gets pinged low on his pad. Australia appeal and the umpire agrees. Babar opts for a review but the Ball Tracking indicates three reds and Babar is a goner! A wicket on debut for Mitchell Swepson and that too of Pakistan's skipper. Australia have finally broken the partnership and they are right back in this contest.

Mitchell Swepson to Imam-ul-Haq, SIX! BANG! Imam-ul-Haq gets to his FIFTY in some style! This is floated, full and on middle. Imam skips down the track yet again and smacks it way over long on for a maximum.

26.4
Travis Head to Saud Shakeel, OUT! CAUGHT! A soft dismissal now and Pakistan lose their third wicket. Head serves a flatter ball, on a fuller length around off and spinning away a touch. Saud Shakeel prods and looks to flick it across the line but gets a leading edge. He ends up chipping it straight to Marnus Labuschagne at short extra cover who takes a sitter. Pakistan are in a slight spot of bother now. What a day Head is having! Top captaincy from Aaron Finch to bring him back into the attack against the two left-handers. 182 needed off 140 balls.

30.6
Adam Zampa to Mohammad Rizwan, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Brilliant catch from Alex Carey behind the sticks. Australia are on top at the moment! Zampa serves a full ball, around leg. Rizwan looks to paddle it through fine leg but he only manages a slight tickle towards the keeper. Carey moves sharply towards his left and takes a fine catch. Pakistan are in deep trouble now as they lose their experienced batter in Rizwan. They still require 163 runs from 114 balls.

Mitchell Swepson to Imam-ul-Haq, FOUR! UP AND OVER! Tossed up, outside off. Imam-ul-Haq lofts it over the bowler's head and bags a boundary.

32.2
Adam Zampa to Imam-ul-Haq, FOUR! Imam has certainly tried to up the scoring ante since the fall of the last wicket. Too full and around off, Imam walks forward and whips it through square leg for a boundary.

33.3
Travis Head to Iftikhar Ahmed, OUT! Iftikhar holes out and it's a tremendous catch from Sean Abbott in the deep. Head has two and he continues to have a fantastic match. Flighted delivery, landing full and on middle, Iftikhar Ahmed shimmies down the track and aims to clear long on. He times it decently and it's destined to go for a biggie. But Sean Abbott, near the fence, times his jump to perfection and plucks it out of thin air with both hands. Outstanding effort. Pakistan slip further and Imam-ul-Haq is running out of partners. 148 needed off 99 balls.

35.1
Travis Head to Imam-ul-Haq, SIX! High and handsome! Head drops it short and on off, Imam picks the length in a flash, goes deep inside the crease and pulls it all the way over mid-wicket for a biggie.

Travis Head to Imam-ul-Haq, FOUR! Imam is trying his best to keep this chase alive. Too full and on middle, Imam goes down on one knee and heaves it cleanly over mid-wicket for a boundary.

38.6
Nathan Ellis to Imam-ul-Haq, OUT! DEATH RATTLE! The crowd has gone silent. Imam's stay is over and that possibly is the final nail in the coffin as Pakistan still need 110 runs off 66 balls. Nathan Ellis comes up with a magical delivery, a near-yorker at 134.4 kph, Imam moves around inside the crease, steps back to make room for a drive but fails to keep this one out. The stumps are obliterated and Ellis jumps in joy. A quick pat on the back for Imam by Alex Carey and Australia are back on top now after a small period of pressure.

Sean Abbott to Khushdil Shah, FOUR! Hammered away! Shah gets hold of this shot and finds the fence. Shortish and on off, Khushdil latches onto it and powers it over mid on for a boundary. 104 needed off 60 balls.

Adam Zampa to Hasan Ali, OUT! Clattered! Adam Zampa decides to fire in a short ball. It's quite quick and short around leg, skidding off the surface, Hasan Ali steps back to pull but the ball stays low and beats his bat. It makes contact with the leg stump and Pakistan lose their 7th wicket.

41.3
Adam Zampa to Mohammad Wasim, OUT! Stumps are shattered and that's 100 ODI wickets for Adam Zampa! A special moment for the young leggie. He slows it up in the air and brings out his googly for the new batter. Lands it around off, Mohammad Wasim has no idea what's cooking there. He gets forward to defend but it beats the inside half of his bat and goes on to tickle the top of the off stump. The end is near for Pakistan. Zampa is on a hat-trick!
W
43.2
Adam Zampa to Khushdil Shah, OUT! CAUGHT! Khushdil Shah tries to go big but ends up hitting high in the air, without any distance. This a googly, on a fuller length, outside off and turning away late. Khushdil Shah kneels and looks for a slog-sweep. It takes the top edge and goes high in the night sky towards the short cover region. Alex Carey calls for it from behind the sticks, runs there and pouches it safely. Australia are just 1 wicket away from a win now.

44.2
Nathan Ellis to Haris Rauf, FOUR! WHACKED! That is a shot and a half from Rauf! On a length, around middle. Rauf sits back and smashes it back past the bowler through mid on and it races away to the fence.

45.2
Mitchell Swepson to Haris Rauf, OUT! CAUGHT! That is it! The debutant, Mitchell Swepson gets the last wicket and Pakistan are bowled out for 225! A loopy full toss, on middle. Rauf comes down the track and looks to clear long on. He does not time it well though and the ball goes high in the air. Cameron Green is there in the deep and takes a simple catch without moving an inch. Australia win by 88 runs!
