Pakistan Defeats Australia by Nine Wickets

Pakistan secured a historic nine-wicket victory over Australia in the second ODI at Adelaide Oval, leveling the series 1-1. The triumph marked Pakistan's first win in Adelaide against Australia since 1996, with standout performances from seamer Haris Rauf, who took five wickets, and batter Saim Ayub, who scored 82 runs. Pakistan bowled Australia out for just 163 runs, then chased down the target in only 23.5 overs with a 137-run partnership between Ayub and Abdullah Shafique, who scored 64 not out. The match also highlighted Australia's struggles, as they faced one of their heaviest defeats in ODI history, prompting changes for the upcoming decider in Perth. With key players absent for Australia, Pakistan's confidence is soaring ahead of the final match.
