Pakistan beat Australia after 32 years at Melbourne Cricket Ground

Pakistan comfortably chased 220 runs set by Australia in the 2nd ODI of the 5 match series with 6 wickets and 14 balls to spare.

It was a new day for the under pressure Pakistan side which completely outplayed Australia. Australian batting team was to an under-par score of 220 by the spin trio of Imad Wasim, Shoaib Malik and captain Mohammad Hafeez.

Pakistani opening batsmen did exactly what as required and provided a decent foundation for the chase by playing sensibly with no rush and putting the bad deliveries away for score.
