  • 12.3

  • 3.1

    Mohammad Amir to Aaron Finch. Off cutter back of a length, to leg on the back foot Steer, to third man for 2 runs, fielded by Irfan. This is frustrating. Australia are on fire and with 11 more balls needed to constitute a game the heavens have opened and the players go off again. Australia are a long way ahead on DLS but they desperately need these 11 balls to be bowled. The rain has refused to relent and the game ends up in damp no result. In the action we did get Babar Azam (59 not out) and Aaron Finch with 37 from 16 balls entertained the crowd royally. We try again in Canberra on Tuesday for the second match of the series.
