Australia delivered a controlled all-round showing to beat Pakistan by 41 runs in the second ODI at Lahore\u2019s Gaddafi Stadium on Tuesday, bringing the three-match series level at 1-1 and setting up a decisive final. After securing a competitive total, the visitors tightened the screws early in Pakistan\u2019s chase and then sustained the pressure to dismiss the hosts for 190 in 44 overs.<\/p>\n

Australia\u2019s innings: early alarm, then steady rebuilding<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Pakistan won the toss and opted to bowl first, and the hosts made an immediate impact by removing Alex Carey with the very first delivery of the match.<\/li>\n
  2. Australia recovered from the early blow and finished their 50 overs on 231\/9, posting a score that kept the game firmly in contention.<\/li>\n
  3. Josh Inglis anchored the innings with a top score of 51 off 74 balls, while Cameron Green contributed a composed 53.<\/li>\n
  4. Inglis and Green stitched key partnerships after Australia slipped to 51\/3, adding essential runs despite the demands of the conditions.<\/li>\n
  5. Oliver Peake then provided a late surge to help Australia move beyond the 230-run mark.<\/li>\n
  6. Shaheen Shah Afridi was the most prominent of Pakistan\u2019s wicket-takers, and the bowling unit shared the responsibility to limit Australia throughout the innings.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Pakistan\u2019s chase: a fast collapse and a late fight that wasn\u2019t enough<\/h2>\n
      \n
    1. Australia struck twice within the opening three overs, quickly tightening the contest and putting Pakistan under immediate pressure.<\/li>\n
    2. Former captain Babar Azam was dismissed early in the chase, leaving the home side reeling at 35\/3.<\/li>\n
    3. Matthew Short and Nathan Ellis continued the wicket-taking momentum, ensuring the hosts were forced to keep rebuilding as wickets fell at regular intervals.<\/li>\n
    4. Shadab Khan fought back with a determined 71, keeping Pakistan\u2019s hopes alive even as the rest of the batting order struggled.<\/li>\n
    5. Arafat Minhas offered some support, but the required run rate kept climbing as Australia maintained a relentless line and length.<\/li>\n
    6. Nathan Ellis produced the standout spell, finishing with career-best ODI figures of 4\/33, while Matthew Short also made a significant impact.<\/li>\n
    7. Together, Ellis and Short combined to take seven wickets and effectively derail the chase.<\/li>\n
    8. Pakistan were ultimately bowled out for 190 in 44 overs, falling short by 41 runs.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      The result gives Australia a timely response after their loss in the first ODI, keeping the series alive with the final match still to come. For Pakistan, Shadab\u2019s 71 was a rare bright spot in an otherwise disappointing batting performance, especially after they had started brightly with the ball.<\/p>\n

      Result:<\/strong> Australia 231\/9 (50 overs) beat Pakistan 190 (44 overs) by 41 runs. Series score:<\/strong> 1-1 (three-match ODI series).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
