The target was 317 runs. Pakistan scored 219 runs for 5 wickets. It seemed that Shan Masood’s team would return to parity after winning the Melbourne Test. But from there, Australia won the match dramatically.
In Pat Cummins-Mitchell Starck’s ball, Pakistan’s last 5 wickets fell for only 18 runs! Australia took a dramatic victory by 79 runs. Australia won the three-match series by 2-0 with one test in hand.
The fourth day of the Melbourne Test was full of drama. Batting with 187 runs for 6 wickets, Pakistan restricted Australia to 262 runs. Alex Carrey scored 53.
Pakistan’s Shaheen Shah Afridi and Mir Hamza took 4 wickets each.
Two openers Abdullah Shafiq (4) and Imam Ul Haque (12) could not benefit in the run chase. However, Pakistan was smelling victory with the bat of captain Shan Masood and Babar Azam.
Shan Masood was the victim of Cummins for 60 runs. Hazelwood sent back Babar Azam (41). Then Saud Shakeel (24) was also set and out. However, Pakistan returned to the fight with the bat of Mohammad Rizwan and Agha Salman.
They added 57 runs for the sixth wicket. Cummins broke the pair by making Rizwan (35) caught by the wicketkeeper. After that, Pakistan’s innings collapsed like a house of cards.
Agha Salman tried to take an edge. But after fifty he also had to return (50) as a victim of Starc. Pakistan’s second innings stopped at 237 runs.
Australia scored 318 in the first innings in this Test. In reply, Pakistan were all out for 264 runs. The visitors picked up 4 wickets of Aussies for 16 runs in the second innings.
