Pakistan vs Australia 2nd ODI 2026

 


I think Pakistan became complacent and let Australia off the hook and that is why Australia defeated us by 41 runs. I think we should have bowled a lot better and had a terrible last over bowled by Haris Rauf when he was hit to all corners of the ground by Oliver Peake.

Pakistan are clearly missing the services of Fakhar Zaman and Saim Ayub due to injuries as they are much better than the current opening duo of Farhan and Maaz Sadaqat who have failed twice in this ODI series. We need someone to give us a good, brisk and positive start at the top of the batting order something which Fakhar Zaman and Saim Ayub can do easily.

In the end what I would like to say is that we should prepare a batting track for the Third ODI as the current strategy of preparing spinning pitch is back firing for Pakistan's point of view.
