It was the comeback match for Pakistan and Pakistani cricket team won the match against world champion Australia. I have to say that it was a one sided match in which one man really dominated both with his bat and ball- Shahid Afridi. He is considered to be an aggressive batsman who really likes to go after the opposition bowlers. We saw another quality of him and when he bowled, he captured six wickets of the opposition and it was the thing that made all the difference in the end. Australia batted first and could get only 168 runs. Afridi was the danger man for them.
168 was a small total to defend and Australian bowlers tried their best and in fact, could put some serious pressure at one stage. However, again it was Afridi with his bat came and destroyed the opposition. Just one massive over made a lot of difference. The Australian players looked tired and out of touch. May be Dubai is a new place for them and in the second match, they will try to perform better. Tomorrow is the second ODI and you can find detailed information about it here.
