4:45 PM IST Australia didn't bowl well at the start. Just like Pakistan, they were sloppy and dropped catches but a quick turnaround saw the game tilt towards the Aussie team as Marcus Stoinis and Adam Zampa turned things with quick wickets. Adam Zampa though was the pick of the lot with four wickets. While batting, it was a carnage from Mitchell Marsh and David Warner. Both put on a stand of 259 and put Pakistan completely off. That opening stand tired the Pakistani team who didn't recover quickly after the beating. Pakistan will be disappointed with not just their bowling but fielding as well.
