After the thrilling match between Australia and Pakistan in Melbourne, Australia will host Pakistan for the second ODI at Adelaide Oval on Friday. It is a do-or-die game for the visitors, they will try to level the series by 1-1. Pakistan almost pulled the game from the hosts while they were chasing a low total of 204 runs. Pakistani pacers showed a good fight while defending a low score but in the end, they fell short because of so many extras given(21) and some sloppy fielding at the end.
