(Source: Twitter/Pakistan Cricket) Pakistan vs Australia, PAK vs AUS 2nd ODI Live Cricket Score Streaming Online: Despite posting 280/5 on the scoreboard, Pakistan crumbled in the first ODI against Australia as the visitors chased down the target comfortably and won the match by eight wickets. Australian skipper Aaron Finch and Shaun Marsh were the key players for the visitors as the duo added 173 runs for the second wicket. Finch was sent back to the pavilion by Mohammad Abbas on 116, while his partner remained unbeaten on 91 and guided his team to victory. Shoaib Malik-led Pakistan side, on the other hand, would look to bounce back when both the teams lock horns on Sunday.

Only five ODIs are left before the hopes and dreams of several Australians are either realised or crushed at the World Cup selection table. Unfortunately for some, the 15-man squad couldn’t be named earlier this month, in which big game performances against India led to what Allan Border described as the nation’s “best ever” ODI series win. For others, the five-match series against Pakistan in the UAE is a sorely needed last chance to prove why they shouldn’t be left at home for cricket’s showpiece event, starting May 30. But even a strong showing might not be enough for those in the places of Steve Smith and David Warner, who are largely expected to be picked in the World Cup squad no matter what.

CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO THE FOLLOW-ON PODCAST *** He was the only member of Australia’s top six, apart from Glenn Maxwell, to not score a half-century for the tournament, and the only player from the top four to not average more than 30 (9.66). His rich vein of white-ball form isn’t a distant memory yet, but it might be for selectors should he have another poor series. Justin Langer has hinted Marsh will get another chance in the UAE to push his case. AARON FINCH Aaron Finch made positive steps in India in his bid to end his wretched run of white-ball form. Source: AFP The Australian captain made positive steps in India in his bid to end his wretched run of white-ball form that started in November. Over the Australian summer, he averaged 13.83 in ODIs and 15.50 in T20Is. But in five ODIs against India he averaged 31.40, which included a high score of 93 in a series-turning partnership with Usman Khawaja in the do-or-die third match. Question marks remain over the opener, though, given he failed to pass 40 in every other innings and scored two ducks. He will be hard to dislodge as a strong team captain, but he still has a long way to go before becoming the Aaron Finch of old again. USMAN KHAWAJA AND PETER HANDSCOMB Usman Khawaja and Peter Handscomb are currently holding spots in the team that usually belong to David Warner and Steve Smith. Source: AFP Both players were strong in India - Khawaja was player of the series with 383 runs at 76.60, and Handscomb made 236 at 47.20. Khawaja was particularly impressive, scoring two centuries and two fifties in the five-match series, while Handscomb also added one ton and a fifty to his name. Those are numbers that usually warrant selection in any team, but they aren’t faced with a normal situation. Khawaja and Handscomb are currently holding spots in the team that usually belong to David Warner and Steve Smith; two of the world’s finest batsmen before they were suspended for 12 months. They may still be, and are widely expected to be picked in Australia’s 15-man squad for the World Cup. The form of Khawaja and Handscomb has opened up the rare scenario of Smith and Warner being in an Australia squad and not in the XI. If the incumbents put up the same numbers in the UAE that they did in India, then that possibility edges closer towards reality. THE STAND-IN QUICKS Injuries to Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc has left the door open to two quicks to press their cases in India and the UAE. Source: AFP Injuries to Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc has left the door open to two quicks to press their cases in India and the UAE. Hazlewood is fighting stress fractures in his back and Starc a pectoral injury, but both are expected to be passed fit for the World Cup. Given Pat Cummins is one of the best bowlers in the world, it is likely two of Jhye Richardson, Kane Richardson, Nathan Coulter-Nile or Jason Behrendorff will need to make way. Jhye Richardson was the strongest in India, snaring eight wickets at 21.12 in three matches. Behrendorff didn’t take any in his two matches, but was the most economical quick (5.35) for Australia outside of Cummins (4.64), while Coulter-Nile took three at 32.66. Kane Richardson ultimately missed the tour with a side strain but has since returned to the squad. Jhye Richardson would appear to be the only one making an undeniable case with the ball, while he has proven to be capable of reliable contributions with the bat. The latter could also be said about Coulter-Nile who has averaged 19.6 in T20Is and 22 in ODIs since the start of 2018 Behrendorff is Australia’s only other left-arm fast option should Starc not pull through, while K.Richardson was the Big Bash League’s leading wicket-taker. (24 at 17.70). Each bowler will likely be given at least two matches in the UAE, like there were in India, to show why they shouldn’t miss out on the World Cup.<doc-sep>Mohammad Hasnain is set to earn his international spurs this month after being named in Pakistan’s ODI squad to face Australia. A fresh challenge awaits Australia when it comes up against a little-known 18-year-old who’s being billed as one of the quickest teenagers seen on the international circuit. Speedster Mohammad Hasnain is set to earn his international spurs this month after being named in Pakistan’s ODI squad to face Australia in a five-match series. Former Australia international Shane Watson had a sneak peak at Hasnain during this year’s Pakistan Super League, as they played together for champions Quetta Gladiators. It’s safe to say Watson was impressed with what he saw, as Hasnain broke the 150km/h barrier. Stream over 50 sports live & anytime on KAYO. The biggest Aussie sports plus the best from overseas.

He claimed 12 wickets at 17.58, and an economy of 7.53, for the tournament, regularly bowling around 145km/h and occasionally surpassing 150km/h. The youngster said after the final he was eyeing a spot at the World Cup, and will take aim at Australia’s batsmen this month to boost his chances. “I prefer getting my wickets via yorkers or bouncers,” he said. “I have always been a fast bowler and I hope to bowl even faster.

Hasnain is one of eight changes made to Pakistan’s ODI squad for the five-match series against Australia. Four of the players - including Hasnain - are uncapped at ODI level.<doc-sep>
Outstanding innings from Aaron Finch and Shaun Marsh have seen Australia comfortably win the first ODI against Pakistan. Outstanding innings from Aaron Finch and Shaun Marsh have seen Australia comfortably win the first ODI against Pakistan, but have added to the growing complexity of World Cup selections. Steve Smith and David Warner are locks to make Australia’s 15-man squad, but the case for either one – or both – to be left out of the XI is growing. Such a scenario was once unfathomable, but Australia now finds itself in a position where every member of its current top four has made at least one big score in the past three matches. The most recent big scores belong to Finch and Marsh, who helped Australia chase down Pakistan’s 5-280 under lights in Sharjah on Saturday morning to claim the nation’s fourth ODI win in a row.

Finch’s innings was particularly noteworthy as it ended a nine-month drought without an international century, and no doubt silenced some of his World Cup sceptics as well. The Australian limited overs captain scored his 12th ODI century, but his first in 13 innings when he made a ton against England in June. Finch’s knock was near-chanceless, although he was technically dropped on 83 when he cannoned the ball straight back down the ground and into the chest of spinner Yasir Shah. He was eventually dismissed caught behind by Mohammad Abbas. Meanwhile, Marsh was just as impressive on return having been dropped for the series-decider against India. The 35-year-old sensationally found himself on the chopping block after three-consecutive low ODI scores, despite being Australia’s best 50-over batsman of 2018. He bounced back to form in emphatic style against Pakistan, ending the innings unbeaten. Peter Handscomb also made a solid contribution of 30 not out, while the India tour’s player-of-the-series Usman Khawaja made 24. He fell cheaply in the 12th over when he top-edged a pull shot off Faheem Ashraf that was caught comfortably by Shoaib Malik. Earlier, Pakistan left-hander Haris Sohail scored his first ODI century, finishing unbeaten on 101. Pakistan posted 5-280 off the back of an unbeaten, maiden ODI century from left-hander Haris Sohail. Source: Getty Images Nathan Lyon (1-38) took the first wicket of the series when he had star opener Imam-ul-Haq caught and bowled for 17 in the ninth over. The opening partnership lasted 35 runs and the second 43, before debutant Shan Masood chopped on to Nathan Coulter-Nile (2-61) for 40. A 98-run partnership followed until Umar Akmal (48) skied a ball from Coulter-Nile straight up for Aaron Finch. Captain Shoaib Malik was gone the following over for 11 after Glenn Maxwell (1-57) slid a delivery past him and into his off-stump. Jhye Richardson (1-64) had a tough day at the office but had some reward for his toil late in the innings when he had Faheem Ashraf (25) caught by Marcus Stoinis at point. Pakistan lost no further wickets and Sohail went on to bring up his first ODI century in the 50th over, doing so off 114 balls. The series continues on Sunday night with match two, also in Sharjah.
