In the ongoing first ODI between Australia and Pakistan at the MCG, the visitors are in trouble as they are struggling to put 200 runs on the board. Skipper Mohammad Rizwan was the pick of the batters and missed his fifty by six runs. Meanwhile, other batters disappointed.
Expectations were high from Kamran Ghulam, who shone with a century in the 2nd Test against England, but the right-hand batter tumbled for just 5 (6), which featured a solitary four. Kamran was humiliated by Pat Cummins as he fell prey to a sharp bouncer.
