AUS Vs PAK, 2nd ODI: Pakistan pacer Haris Rauf has grabbed his secon-ever five-wicket haul in ODI's, as Pat Cummins' Australia are bundled out for merely 163 runs in the 2nd ODI at the Adelaide Oval.
Electing to bowl first on a batting surface, Mohammad Rizwan's side lived up to the billing, as the bowlers bowled extremely well in demolition of Australia's batting order, which was once, storming at 20/0 after just 2 overs.
Haris Rauf ended the innings with 5/29 in his 8 overs, as apart from Steve Smith, no other Australian batter managed to touch the 20-run mark.
"Thanks a lot first of all. Well, I know these conditions really well as I have played for the Melbourne Stars. Yeah, I knew we needed wickets so I am really happy to perform well for my side. Yeah obviously, I am playing four-day cricket for Pakistan so why not. I am ready to play Test Cricket for Pakistan. I am really happy with my performance. I was targeting the hard length and it worked out well for me today," said Haris Rauf, during mid-innings break.
