The Pakistan bowlers maintained relentless pressure𒁏 from the♌ outset.
Haris Rauf dominates Australian batters
Rauf’s first wicket was Australia’s promising wicketkeeper-batter Josh Inglis, who fell for 18 runs in the 14th over. The dismissal was set up with a short delivery down the leg side, which Inglis attempted to pull but only managed to glove to keeper Mohammad Rizwan, who took the catch cleanly.

Just two overs later, Rauf returned to dismiss Marnus Labuschagne, a key player in Australia’s middle order. Known for his consistent ODI record, Labuschagne could only manage 6 runs before edging a backfoot defense to Rizwan. Rauf’s delight was evident as he unleashed a roar of triumph.

In the 26th over, Aaron Hardie became Rauf’s third victim. The full delivery on the fourth꧒-stump line forced Hardie into a defensive shot, but the ball edged to Rizwan, who took his fourth catch of the innings.

Rauf’s fourth wicket came when he dismissed the aggressive Glenn Maxwell in the 28th over. Bowling a short ball outside off, Rauf baited Maxwell into a pull shot. Maxwell misjudged, insid♋e-edging the ball onto his stumps, sending his off-stump cartwheeling. With Australia’s score plummeting, Maxwell’s wicket felt like a hammer b❀low.

To complete his memorable fifer, Rauf claimed the wicket of Australia skipper Pat Cummins in the 32nd over. A short ball enticed Cummins to pull, resulting in a faint edge to Rizwan. Cumm▨ins initꦦially reviewed, but Snicko showed a clear spike, confirming the dismissal. Rauf knelt down and performed a Sajda (prostration), a gesture of gratitude, as he celebrated his five-wicket haul in style.
