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 fourth-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 b𒉰aited Maxwell into a pull 💦shot. Maxwell misjudged, inside-edging the ball onto his stumps, sending his off-stump cartwheeling. With Australia’s score plummeting, Maxwell’s wicket felt like a hammer blow.

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. Cummins initially 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.

This marked his second five-wicket haul in ODI cricket. His performance not only put Pakistan in a commanding position but also earned him widespread praise, highlighting his skill and growth as a pace bow💯ler on the international stage.
