Haris Rauf took five wickets as Pakistan cruised to a nine-wicket victory over Australia in the second ODI to level the three-match series 1-1 at the Adelaide Oval on Friday.

Rauf claimed 5/29, his second five-wicket haul in ODIs, as Pakistan bundled out world champions Australia for 163 in 35 overs on a decent batting track, their lowest ODI score against Pakistan. Mohammad Rizwan, in his first series as Pakistan’s white-ball captain, was involved in six of those dismissals, equalling the world record for most dismissals by a wicketkeeper in an ODI.

He could have had a seventh catch but spilled a skier from Adam Zampa late in the Australian innings.

Saim Ayub hit 82 and forged a 137-run opening stand with Abdullah Shafique as Pakistan reached the target in 26.3 overs. “I know the pitch, I know the length,” Rauf said.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
