Pitch Report: Excellent pitch as team winning toss posses all chance of scoring over 300 mark
Toss: Pakistan won the toss and chose to bat
Australia won by 9 wickets with 49 balls remaining.
Good effort by middle order English men. Now the learning curve really starts for England Team.
One-sided.... Single-sided.... whatever, Australia made it look crisp and simple with duo adding 2nd wicket record stand of 252.
