Australian men’s cricket team vs Pakistan national cricket team match scorecard:

Star pacer Haris Rauf stole the spotlight with a sensational four-wicket haul in the 2nd T20I against Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Saturday.

While Pakistan's star pacers Shaheen Afridi and Naseem Shah struggled to contain the runs, Rauf delivered a standout performance, leading the charge with precision and skill.

Rauf's pace and precision derailed Australia's momentum, claiming four crucial wickets. The damage began in the 4th over when Rauf's swift short ball dismissed the explosive Jake Fraser-McGurk for 20, and on the very next delivery, Josh Inglis was sent packing for a duck.

Rauf struck again in the 15th over, outfoxing Tim David who attempted a powerful shot across the line but fell for 18. The Pakistan pacer sealed his four-wicket haul in the 19th over, removing Xavier Bartlett for a mere 5 runs.

With a four-wicket haul, Rauf became the second Pakistani player with the best bowling figure against Australia in T20I.
