Australia vs Pakistan 1st ODI: Shafique Out, PAK 2 Down, and the Aussies are on Fire!

The first ODI between Australia and Pakistan in the three-match series got off to a cracking start, with the Aussies putting on a show and leaving the Pakistani batsmen struggling.

Shafique's Early Exit

The early wicket of the in-form Imam-ul-Haq was a major blow for Pakistan, but it was the dismissal of Abdullah Shafique that really put the pressure on. He was looking good, playing some confident shots, but then he went for a big one, got caught in the deep, and just like that, Pakistan were 2 down. It was a real shame, as he's been a fantastic player for them lately.

The Aussie Bowling Attack

The Australian bowlers were on fire, with both Starc and Cummins bowling with pace and accuracy. They were relentless in their attack and kept the Pakistani batsmen under pressure. Cummins, in particular, was deadly, getting his first wicket early on. You could see the disappointment in the Pakistani players' faces - they knew they were up against it.

Pakistan's Struggle to Respond

Pakistan's batting lineup struggled to find a rhythm and looked completely out of sorts. They were never really able to get on top of the Australian bowlers and kept losing wickets at regular intervals. It wasn't exactly the start they were hoping for.

A Tough Ask for Pakistan

With the early wickets, Pakistan are in a tough spot. They need their middle order to fire and build a decent partnership to get back into the game. It's going to be a tough ask, especially against this Aussie bowling attack. Let's just say it's not looking good for Pakistan right now. They better get their act together, or they'll be in for a long day!
