Despite batting first, Pakistan openers Azam and Rizwan got off to a promising start, smashing quick knocks and making a stand for the team with a 71-run partnership for the first wicket.
Australia skipper Aaron Finch shifted his tactics to break the stand by bringing in Zampa into an attack. Zampa got a breakthrough by interrupting the opening duo’s establishing partnerships upon grabbing Pakistan captain Babar Azam 39 (34). On the other hand, Rizwan appeared to be a formidable player for the team, despite hitting back-to-back boundaries he made a quick fifty.
