After 28 overs, Pakistan collected 181 runs from 132 balls, the team still needs 187 runs. If the batsmen can't bat at a good strike rate then they won't be able to win this match from now on. They now need around 8.5 runs per over to win.

The required run rate keeps on creeping and if Australia is able to pick wickets then it is going to be a difficult chase for Pakistan even though they had a good start just like Australia when they started. With the way Australia started, for a while i expected them to score above 400 but full credits to Pakistan bowlers for pulling the match back and started picking up wickets after breaking the opening partnership.

Losing a pile of wickets after a mammoth partnership is very common but in the last 10 overs Pakistani bowlers managed to keep the scoring level below par which helped them to score than what we expected. But what I didn't expect is good opening from Pakistani batsmen which actually put them in a better stand even now while Babar again failed and with long tail they can only hope that Rizwan can repeat the same that he did with Sri Lanka.
