Three runs later, Kurtis Patterson was run out by Babar Azam on duck, leaving the hosts at 17 in the 6th over, with two wickets down. Tight performances by the Pakistani bowlers and fielders ensured that Australia had only managed to reach 53 by the 22nd over, with the dismissals having swelled to 4 – Player of the Match Zia-ul-Haq (7-0-20-3) took down Meyrick Buchanan (2) in the 19th over, while skipper William Bosisto was run out on 12.
