Pakistan vs Australia first ODI scorecard, Arafat Minhas five wickets, video, highlights, news

Spinner Arafat Minhas became the first Pakistani bowler to take five wickets on his ODI debut on Saturday as the hosts cruised to a five-wicket win over Australia in the series opener in Rawalpindi.

Minhas finished with 5-32 as under-strength Australia were bowled out for 200 in 44.1 overs before Pakistan chased down the target with 45 balls to spare for a memorable victory in their 1000th ODI.

Babar Azam hit 69 off 94 balls and Ghazi Ghori made an impressive 65 as Australia’s inexperienced spinners failed to match their Pakistani counterparts on a dry delivery and assisted the slow bowlers.

Azam and Ghori added 127 runs for the third wicket after Sahibzada Farhan (28) and Maaz Sadaqat (8) left Pakistan 49-2.

Azam hit four fours and a six, while Ghori’s knock contained eight boundaries. Both eventually fell to pacer Nathan Ellis with victory in sight.

Minhas, who hit a six to complete the win, said he was delighted with his starring role on debut.

“It’s great to have achieved a record,” Minhas said.

“I enjoy being in that pressure environment, and my focus was on enjoying this opportunity and it’s great to have contributed to the win.”

Australian stand-in skipper Josh Inglis lamented a lack of runs.

“I think 30-40 runs would have been more interesting,” Inglis said.

“I thought we made them work really hard to get over the line.”

Australia are missing a host of key players, including regular captain Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood alongside opener Travis Head.

Australia, sent to bat, saw Matthew Renshaw hit 61 after opener Matthew Short scored 55, but the tourists struggled against Pakistan’s spin attack, where eight wickets would slow down the bowlers.

It was Abrar (2-44) who broke the opening score of 34 with the wicket of Alex Carey for 19, before Minhas destroyed the batting with guile and accuracy.

Minhas had Inglis (13) and Marnus Labuschagne (0) in his fourth over before getting Cameron Green for a third-ball duck in his next.

At 4-68, Australia were in trouble but Short and Renshaw fought hard through a fifth wicket stand of 55 before Minhas broke the partnership, with Short stunned.

Abrar returned for his second spell to dismiss Renshaw, while Arafat completed his five-wicket haul by removing Ellis for eight.

The remaining two matches will be in Lahore on Tuesday and Thursday.
