Cricket Commentary PAK vs AUS, 2nd ODI, Australia tour of Pakistan 2026

Shaheen Afridi Pakistan Captain: (Did he think it was a good bowling performance?) I think we gave away 20-25 extra runs in the end. But yes, we took wickets early and that helped in creating pressure. (On whether it was easier to bat on this surface compared to Rawalpindi) No, it was not that easy to bat on. In the second innings the ball came on the bat a little better, but today the bowlers bowled really well. He hit the right spot and was rewarded. We will try to avoid our mistakes and move towards victory. One positive thing today was that the fast bowlers bowled really well. (On bowling shorter lengths and getting some reverse swing today) Yes, because on wickets like this, if you bowl in the right areas, there is not much swing available. When the ball started reversing and we changed the new ball, the fast bowlers were not getting much help.
